The rotary phone had a dial that you choose the number you want and rotate it to the barrier that won’t let you rotate it further. After that, in 1963, the push button phone was invented. The push button dial had two rows of five numbers on it. You would push the set of numbers that you would want then you would call someone. In 1918 the portable phone came to the people.
