   Let's go!
   
   Unfortunately landline phones are hard to find now. None of the antique stores that I went to had them. It's also hard to find phone cords. I had a bunch of boomers act like they didn't know what I was talking about.
   
   I gave up and just ordered new old stock off of eBay. Unfortunate because I wanted to support local businesses.

     @jae dunno still waiting on a phone and phone cord. I thought antique stores would have this. I got told by a boomer that she didn't know what a phone cord is. I believe her. Boomers are retarded.

     @vii I have heads, a crimping tool, and Ethernet cable. I could make it happen. But this one from Amazon is only $4 and I'd rather not tear up one of my Ethernet cables.

     @j It'd probably be easier to buy a roll of four-wire RJ11 cable, some RJ11 heads and a crimper, than to find premade phone cords right now.

     @bajax @dcc @jae @vii I don't understand why my phone is connecting to Verizon now. I mean I don't have any service but this phone has an AT&T sim card in it and I think it's still technically locked to AT&T until I try to put in a different SIM card.
