As for rotary phones, dh still has one he keeps in the garage. Remarkably, it usually still works when the power goes out taking all the cordless phones to oblivion along with the lights. Just plug the thing in to the phone jack. Last big fire we had out here knocked out all kinds of cell towers in the hills, but the rotary phone kept going until things got really bad.
