My first phone (of my own, for my bedroom) was when I was in high school. About 1987 or '88, I bought one of the clear phones from Radio Shack for about $15-20. I loved that phone....
A youngster, perhaps 8 - 10 picks up a corded phone. The outside was clear plastic to display the inner workings. He made some comment to his mother such as "Is that what a real phone used to look like?". Made me feel older.. :laughing:
I remember purchasing my first phone, a corded wall phone, when I moved into this house in 1983 and then having an argument with the local Bell operator about using it. Back then the Bell's owned most of the phones.
