As seen in Big Brother 2007!

If you were to ask an average gadgeteer to sketch a telephone, this is what they would draw. Oh yeah, this is a proper telephone. It doesn't have a thousand memories, it doesn't do text messaging, customised ring tones or multi-megapixel photos, and it certainly doesn't do slim-line or lightweight.

What it does have in abundance though, is telephonic style. Think of all those classic 1960s/70s Brit films and TV series; The Sweeney, The Avengers, James Bond, all those Michael Caine thrillers, they all used the classic dial telephone. When Life on Mars came out, the classic dial telephone was up there with the Mk.3 Cortina when it came to period cool.

The classic GPO type 746 dial telephone was introduced to the market in 1967. It rapidly became a design classic and was still available to BT customers until the 1980s. Its robust and reliable design made it a universal favourite in homes and offices around Britain.

These are genuine, professionally refurbished, BT telephones fitted with brand new, totally original, case mouldings. Features include a real rotary dial and classic bell ringer. It has also been rewired for use with any BT-standard phone socket so all you need to do is plug it in. No messing!

  • Genuine refurbished retro BT dial telephone.
  • Suitable for most telephone lines, except "ex Telewest" Virgin Media lines
  • Classic design, robustly engineered for long term reliability.

  • Complete with new cable and standard BT plug.
  • Does not require batteries or mains adaptor.
  • Plugs into any standard phone system that supports pulse dialling.

EXCELLENT VALUE ( Review of Retro BT GPO Dial Telephone )
Rated   5 Star Rating
Review by Rita Howard from Worthing, West Sussex, UK on 14/12/2008
This was excellent - just as described and pictured and service from Gadgets was excellent, arriving from order within a couple of days. Bought as a Christmas present for my husband as he has always hankered to have a traditional telephone again and he was delighted.
