Share Your Memories With The Dial Up Phone. by Nobody: 6:27pm On Oct 28, 2014 |
I'm sure over 70 percent of Nairalanders never used the dial up phone. That's the type of phone commonly used in the 80's before the GSM revolution thanks to OBJ. I remember vividly that i would look up the phone book which is actually a very big book and search the last name of my classmate who i was crushing on. Then i would make a prank call to their home. That was really freaky and i was only about 7 or 8 years old then. ![]() Some parents would actually use a lock on the the Zero dial while some would totally unplug the cable when they're out. Kindly share your fun memories.

Apparently most Nairalanders were not yet born at the time. ![]() |

I would love to have one of these now. I am sure they would sell for qute some money in Europe. My dad locked it at times with a padlock, bt we knew the way around. Tap once for1, ten times for 0, You had to leave an interval between each number. Quite easy when you knew how. |
