I had one as the house phone up until a few years ago. I never used it so all incoming calls went right to voice mail. The ringer had died decades ago but it wasn't until I tried to use it to find my cell phone that I realized it had completely died. I bought a new white slim-line Princess phone off Amazon for 10.00 USD. Now I feel just like Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Boo Kay) :D
@narayani I don't suppose I'll change it til it breaks. I dislike using my mobile for long conversations. I've got another downstairs, and I actually like getting up to answer it :-)
