I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 470 Making History Again: Landlines

Both men smiled bitterly while listening to their wife’s grumble about their suggestion to look at the other far.

Women!

If they had agreed to go with their suggestion first, then later on If these same women saw something fat else that caught their fancy..... Funny enough, they would still find a way to blame them for not reminding them to be patient.

And so they continued looking at the rest of the phones on the long massive white table..... Which had all Eagle 1 phones, ranging from Eagle 1 S-A.... up to Eagle 1S-H.

Everyone nodded in appreciation for the 1S phones, before going towards the other tables that had several other phones within the 2S, 3S, 4S and 5S categories.

In fact, there were so many phone designs available to them.... which utterly left them very confused about which phone design that they should get.

There were those that could be hung on the walls, which would be great for their kitchen.

And there were also those that had the dialer pas on the phone’s handset itself.

Of course phones here had very long cords, which connected the base of the phone to its handset.

And in addition to all of this, there were several shelves on the walls which had the same phone models as those on the tables.

But the only difference was that these on the walls all had different themed designs.

For example on the wall shelves, one would find the Eagle 2S-A in the shape of a puppy, ball and even an apple here.

For sure, the phone would offer the same payment plans and phone properties as it’s original on the tables.

So the only difference was how it was themed.

These types of phones would definitely be used by kids and even teenagers or people who love them.

Like the cupcake looking phone... One could easily see overseer Lyore getting something like that in the nearest future.

In fact, even bakeries, sport stores or other themed businesses could also use them too.

.

Stiltskin, Rudolf and their families looked through all Eagle brand phones.... and decided to go through all LX brand phones too.

And after picking their desired phone brand and model, they quickly headed over to Horizon, which was the other phone company.

They went there so as to see if they would get better prices for the phones that they wanted.

Bottom line, Stiltskin and his wife had decided to join Horizon because their plans were cheap for the phone types that they wanted.

While Rudolf and his own wife had decided to stay with Rocky instead.

As for their sons and daughters who were also married and had their own households.... of course, they all made their own choices too.

And at the end of the day, everyone was utterly pleased with their choices.

So they quickly paid for their phones upfront, as well as their monthly plans too.

Also, since they wanted several phones to be wired throughout their homes, they had also gotten several family deals and discounts too.

Stiltskin had been given a 15% off deal for the next 3 months.... as well as a 5% off welcome deal for the next 3 months too since they were new customers.

In addition to that, he was also given a welcome package, which showed company information, and whatnot.

And since he had gotten a warranty too..... he had been given a card that showed his proof of warranty proof, as well as when it would expire.

Everyone smiled merrily with their welcome packages in their hands as they moved through the building.

But of course, how could their journey end now?

Sure!

They had paid for their phones, but before getting home.... there was one more thing that they needed to do.

And that was to learn how to use these phones.

.

"Rudolf.... the phone testing place is just around the corner.

So do you want to check it out?"

"Of course!

How am I supposed to know how to ca my cute granddaughter if I don’t even know how to use it?"

With that, they quickly made their way to another massive room, which had more than 150 telephones on the walls and on several tables too.

"Welcome!

Do do you all want to test out the phone lines?" Said one of the workers there.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes....."

"Alright...

So let me first give you all a brief rundown of how to make calls, record voicemails on your device, take voicemails, leave voicemails on other people’s devices, add more people to a call A.K.A... have a party-line....."

The worker spoke for 3 minutes while demonstrating what to do on the phone.

And after that, she then paired everyone and placed them around different phones within the massive room.

Stiltskin held the phone number of the phone that Rudolf was standing close to.... and decided to punch it into the device.

The first 3 letters were in brackets.... which stood for something called area code?

’1..’

’Poup!’

’2...’

’Poup!’

’7...’

’Poup!.....’

As he punched in the numbers, a weird sound echoed back from the device.

He was so shocked that his hands began to tremble nervously.

Oh no...did he break the device?

What should he do?

He looked at the worker standing next to him and tried to explain the situation as fast as he could.

And after he was assured that nothing was wrong, he then followed the worker’s instructions, hung up and dialled again.

It still made the same sounds as it did last time.

But since the worker told him that he was good, he continued in relief.

And after he punched in the last digit, the sound within the phone changed again.

’Puuuuuuuuuuppp!’

’Puuuuuuuuuuuppp!’

’Catchah!’

"Hello!... Stilly!

Is that you!"

"Yes! Yes!

It’s me..... Ahhh! It’s me!"

"Stilly!!! I can hear you clearly!"

"Me too!

I can hear you clearly too.

Hahaha!"

"Stilly!... Hahahahaha..... Now I can call you late at night whenever I want to."

"Hah....eh?

Don’t you dare fool!

Get off this line now!!!"

"Wait... How do I stop the call again?"
