  • @ideahunter Those phones didn't need power, all they needed was the phone-line. They only needed to power the answering machines.

  • @TheSanityInspector I've been researching this online today. Why do some people say it was an unnatural monopoly?

  • @arch571332 Hee-hee...unless you're having me on, I should let you know that there *were* no other phone companies back then. Ma Bell was considered a natural monopoly, before the breakup.

  • @TheSanityInspector Why didn't other phone companies just offer better phones? Isn't that how free market capitalism works?

  • They used Andy in another commercial during the corporate breakup, urging everyone to just relax.

  • Why is there a cord on the handset? Is that how they got power to the phone?

  • They are so old!!! lol...
