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?
Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes but it was piloted by stoicgoose so it did not end well

Why did it stop working after the house was sold?
Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Cuz it was part of the estate and I kept it as a momento of my childhood. All the dialing a pain, especially international, so I did not try and use in my home.

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!
