In the HBO hit series "Sex and the City," Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) wore Manolo Blahnik shoes, which range in price from about $500 to $2500; but she had an ordinary black rotary dial phone next to her bed.

Even if you can't spend $2,000 for a pair of shoes like Carrie's, you can easily afford a phone like Carrie's.

We have "New Old Stock" rotary-dial phones made in the 1980s, with one-year warranty.

Brands include Northern Telecom/Bell of Canada, Cortelco/ITT, ATT/Western Electric, and Stromberg-Carlson/Comdial.

NOTE: Rotary phones should work perfectly in your home, even if all of your other phones are touchtone.
