The last time I used a rotary phone was about 8 or 9 years ago. It belonged to my late grandparents and it's the one they used in their home.

I am an ancient 57 year old. When I was a kid we not only had rotary dial phones but we also had a party line. That meant you shared a lined with 3-4 other houses. I would often pick up the phone and hear my neighbors conversation. You could not make a call until they hung up. Everybody had their own ring like 2 short and 1 long for example, but if you were not paying attention you could easily answer a call that was meant for for your neighbor. Needless to say any long conversations were frowned on. It is something to remember but I like how it is now much better

We had one all the time I was growing up, so that would have been in my parent's kitchen, and I was probably 18. My husband & I have one of those fake rotary phones now because it's fun, and it looks good in the room.

Gosh, I suppose it must have been more recently than I recall, but I can only picture myself using the one I grew up with. It was attached to the wall in the dining room. I remember feeling very grown up when I was finally tall enough to reach it and brave enough to answer the phone myself. Yes, ONE phone for the whole family! And--gads, true confessions--I'm barely old enough to remember party lines.

About 10 years ago at my grandparents home. That's the only type of phone I ever remember them having.

Probably about 10 years ago. My parents still had one up until about 1998.
