Retro BT GPO Dial Telephone

Top rated by our customers!

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!
