        The princess phone was super hightech. I think it started out rotary and then transitioned to touch-tone. I wanted one because it was cool but being a guy made it a leap to far. 😀

        True. Unless it came in something like “camouflage or had ninjas on it.

        That to, and how people would tell the recording that their name was "I have a collect call from -Mom I'm ready to be picked up now- will you except the charges?" LOL

        I'm sure they new, but it was cheaper than having an actual operator handle collect calls so they just let it go...
