Is it possible to buy a minmalist landline telephone set nowadays? I meant one that has NO chips nor ICs, no Wifi, no FM transmitters, no hidden rechargeable battery.... nothing too modern.



Just plain old simple telephone set with handfree. :)

I don't know of anything modern. There are quite a few "antique" and "vintage" rotary phones on Ebay. Modern POTS is still compatible with dialing through rapidly breaking the connection. Once a while back I tried dialing by just rapidly tapping the hook or whatever that is called, and it worked, though it takes some skill to get the timing right.
