Rotary Landline Phones 1960s Old Style Retro Corded Telephone with Mechanical Ringer for Home Office Desk

Love this red retro rotary landline desk telephone from Sangyn. Looks identical to the old Western Electric 500 rotary telephone, with a hint to its touch tone push buttons cousin. Designed to work with modern connections, and has two important extra holes in its dial wheel. So the Sangyn can be used for everything because it has the ability to use the pound and star features of its push buttons rival. It is well built with today’s circuits, but has the feel of its beloved ancestor. Got a real bell inside that is loud when it is ringing. Since I don’t have Ma Bell for service, I use a X-Link gateway that uses the Bluetooth of my cellular phone for its dial tone, and supplies plenty of electricity to power it. Really happy with this purchase*****

Great Quality Rotary dial Phone, reminds me of my childhood. Works Great and ringer sounds nice. Thanks to a reviewer I was able to figure out how the center plastic disk removes to add in my own phone number. No damage whatsoever in removing it. Now it actually does look authentic with my own phone number inserted under the disk. Absolutely love it! Have gotten so many compliments. Can't wait to see how the grand-kids react when I have them call their Mom. Lol

I had to order a replacement because the first phone was broken. The next phone, which came quickly, is hooked up and works fine.

I like the old rotary style. But I really wanted an exact copy of the original rotary phones the way they were in the 1960's and 1970s, which this is not. 1.) Recoil of the rotary dialer is somewhat as a cheap uneven snap-back as opposed to how the original dialers used to flow back gradually and evenly. 2.) The # and * appear below the zero placement. So the phone feels less authentic. The "0" is in the third position near the end of the dialing sequence. 3.) After dialing when in pulse mode, you hear the corresponding DTMF beep after each dialed number, which is not authentic. 4.) The ringer volume "H/L" switch on the bottom of the phone is actually a ringer "on/off" switch, which is what I wanted. But it is not correctly labeled. So this phone just isn't very authentic other than how it looks. But I gave it four stars since none of the others I found on Amazon looked completely authentic either.

Very nice for home decor

It beep sometimes if you type it in too slow

I honestly wasn’t expecting much - I bought this for my “retro desk” with the serial terminal. For the price I figured it would be a flimsy plastic “look but don’t touch” kind of thing. But it’s actually pretty solidly built, and it works fine as a phone - the rotary dialing mechanism has some circuitry inside that makes it work as a touch tone phone, which means it works with modern analog/iP bridges like my Ooma, and the sound quality is fine for an analog headset. In addition, the rotary action is way faster than the phones I had as a kid, which makes dialing relatively painless. Very happy with the purchase! 5/5.

Absolutely waste of time, money, and energy. I ordered three phone from this company, and was super disappointed the whole time. The first phone was a different style that looked older, and felt super cheap and light. The other two was this model. Both of which the volume on the phone was super low where anybody I was talking to would have to speaker loud just so I could hear them. That part was manageable, but after a few calls, the phone would no longer let me dial out and stopped working. I love the idea and concept, but this would be much better as a possible decoration then a legit phone product

I recently purchased the Sangyn Retro Rotary Dial Phone, and I am absolutely thrilled with it! This beautiful vintage phone adds a delightful touch of nostalgia to my home decor, and every time I use it, I’m transported back to simpler times. The mechanical ringer is a standout feature, providing a clear and sweet chime that makes receiving calls feel special. I love the adjustable ringer volume, which allows me to customize it based on my environment—perfect for both quiet evenings and busy days. Constructed from high-density ABS and sturdy zinc alloy, this phone feels incredibly durable. I appreciate the "last number" feature for easy redialing, which is a thoughtful touch that combines classic style with modern convenience. Plus, it plugs directly into the wall, eliminating the hassle of batteries or charging—just pure, old-fashioned communication. This retro phone not only serves as a functional piece but also enhances the aesthetic of my living space. It’s the perfect decorative item for my home and makes a great conversation starter! And if you want a good laugh, get a teenager to try and dial on it. Watching their bewildered attempts is priceless! Overall, I highly recommend the Sangyn Retro Rotary Dial Phone to anyone looking to add a vintage flair to their home or office. It’s a timeless piece that beautifully merges nostalgia with practicality. Satisfaction is guaranteed!

The phone itself is good , only reason for return is it's not loud enough for person bought for.
