Whoever made this meme is too young to have experienced “dialing” a phone number.

Even on modern landlines where you pushed buttons, it was still called dialing. Someone who calls it typing probably only ever called people using a smartphone.

It is still called dialing despite no longer being rotary phones, but also, they didn’t end the ability to use rotary phones until like 2005ish. I’ve used one before they ended it and I still have one that I wish I could use!

Who’s “they?” I recall my telco stopping support in the '90s, and we had to upgrade all the phones in the house.

Did you ever have to call for Air Superiority?

Why did it stop working after the house was sold?

Good question, I suppose it varies by company, or maybe country. At any rate I used it in the 90s, so I still would’ve met your telco’s cutoff date! Sounds like you used em too, so evidence that it is possible OP did continues to grow. There’s at least two of us!
