Default Re: BT Inphone

I remember the Inphone ads...yes, the "novel" concept was that you could plug your phone into different sockets around the house...or...gosh...even have two telephones. In the highly regulated state owned telecoms era, this was indeed seen as a luxury and a novelty.

I think my mother may still have a burgundy Stateseman type phone somewhere, it fell off the back of my dad's work desk if memory serves.

Didn't one have to dial 100 for the operator and ask for "freephone inphone" in order to get your sockets installed? I know ours were bought from Tandy....
