I'm saving my old turn-the-dial landline phone. I use a cordless for my landline, but in the event of a power outage (e.g. after a big earthquake), electricity may be down for quite a while and I'll still be able to access a working phone line with that old phone in that eventuality. Not so, the cordless. Yeah, I have a smartphone but won't be able to recharge the battery with electricity off and I get only 1-3 bars at home anyway on the AT&T wireless here, and that's pre-quake.Sweet. Put out a printer and old landline phone for garbage collection and it got picked up -- they don't take just anything now.
