Meet Your iPhone’s Grandparent

Bill, thanks for the link, interesting article.

Here is one device the article didn't mention:

https://amazon.com/Sharp-TM-20-TelMail-E...harp+tm-20

Sharp's Pocketmail, a portable device with a built-in acoustic coupler to let you send/receive email from even pay phones via an 800 number--no Internet required. I've still got mine but the company that supported it went out of business years ago. I actually used this on business trips prior to 2000. Amazingly, Amazon is still selling it. I pity the fool who buys one now.
