My mum still has a rotary dial phone and the associated non-touchtone service. We have a "ring N times, hang up, dial again" family code for important calls and I found that if I didn't wait for the dial to spin back on my touch tone phone then the answering machine would kick in, so I tend to dial my folks' phone numbers slowly.
