@TrandomnesstwO Dont know about you but all this electronic bs has gotten old. I find myself using it less and less.. It doesn't do anything cept kill time. google maps and voice on andriod phones has finally made smartphones not shit. other than that, its whatever
yup bro, it is a baaad advert! weird to think we used to play with the flip phone as a toy for years didn't we. Shame dad had no idea how his idea would take off. He did predict in the late 70's that every home would have a computer tho.
I had a brown GTE Flip Phone back in 1983. It was push button dial pulse, not DTMF touch tone. GTE never made a DTMF touch tone version because of some kind of tariff restriction by Ma-Bell before the Ma-Bell breakup in 1984.
@bduddy55555 Why does it matter what race the actors in the commercial were? They were playing a family and usually within a family everyone is the same race! I find it odd that they were all in the same queen sized bed together, not that they are white. What an ignorant comment.
Thanks for this one. I was telling some friends this was probably my favorite phone I ever owned, and they didn't remember them. I wish you would email me the video file.
LOL It's great to see this again. I wish someone would sell them again.
oh. my. god. O.O

GTE is now Verizon. I owned GTE stock in the early 1990's.

Hey, I bet that this was pretty high-tech and "cool" back in the 80's. However, everyone was white, that would never do these days...

@reymatt76 How many commercials/textbooks/whatever have you seen lately where everyone is a different race? My comment was mostly sarcastic, but...
