Rotary dial sets are a bit of a nuisance to use today since so many
businesses require Touch Tone signals to get through a front-end
menu. Also, many US places now have 10 digit diailing. But there are
plenty of Western Electric Touch Tone units out there.

You used to be able to get a tone dialer that you put over the mouthpiece
of an old phone that would do the job. I got one from Tandy (Radioshack
in the US) and used back in the late 80s.
