To dial, you first take the receiver off the hook and listen for the dial tone. You put your finger in the hole for the desired number, and rotate the dial around clockwise until your finger hits the stopper. Take your finger out, and wait for the dial to resume its normal starting position. Continue to do this until the number has been fully dialed.

∙ 14y agoWell if you remember the phones from the 80's that is what it is. There is no dialing the phone has holes in it and to make the call you have to do each number one by one and wait for each number to finish going around in the circle. Just Google rotary phone for a pic, I still use my rotary phone. There is no push dialing which stinks. These phones only have one phone line as well. Hope this helps
