Dial Plate for Android

The app does what I hoped!It is great to have a phone again! I also want to answer a question I saw regarding this app. He was unhappy there was no contact list. What you do is get a piece of string and tie it to your phone then you attach your contact list Ma Bell makes contact lists they are called phonebooks. I actually came on to get help. My phone still looks the same if I tap the phone. The rotary dialer is listed as a separate app way on the last page of all those app icons. I want the rotary dialer to be my phone, now, tomorrow, forever! How do I put the two together?

Clearly the app developer for this dialer has never used dial phones in the wild. What annoys me most, is when you dial zero it doesn’t rotate back like it should. It just pops back to its position. No dial phone in the world ever did this. I grew up in rural Kansas, and have used everything from the first dial phones, and everything you can imagine including switchboard dials with patch cords, up to the last dial phones made by Ma Bell. And I’ve never seen a phone that looks remotely like the graphic design. My other criticism is the speed of the dial in return is wrong, and the sounds are wrong. So disappointing.

The animation is great and so is the privacy policy but there is no sound on Android 8

In the 1960s I used to work on dial telephone switching equipment - the infamous Strowger switches. I like to demonstrate Dial Plate, and comment that I have an antique smart phone.

The looks of confused scouts trying to figure out how to use a rotary dial is well worth the price.
