AT&T Western Electric Vintage Beige Dial Phone

AT&T Western Electric Vintage Beige Dial Phone. I could not get it to dial out, maybe a dial phone doesn’t work any more with today’s phone lines. It has this switch attached to it, so the ringer does not work. Even though it doesn’t ring, you can still answer with it and talk on it. The phone is in good condition. Has white phone cord. W12
