You used to be able to get phone diallers, they had two purposes

  1. You could store your phone book on it, select a number, it'll send the right tones out the speaker (you hold it against the mouthpiece)
  2. You could keep using a dial phone after they were no longer supported (by playing the tones down the mouthpiece)
