Yep, sure enough have seen this before. Way back before cell phones existed, this is what we had to do to put a phone on vibrate.
Usually ya had to call a 1-900 number to ring it.

Someone needs to call a telephone sanitizer.

currently re-reading for the first time in +20 years, still the goat
Agreed.
I'm not so sure about that.
Call me!
.... on the line, call me call me any time, call me!
Take the vibrator out and this is still a strangely uncomfortable photo. I can't put my finger on it exactly. The weird squares, the clean majority of the wall vs the dirty phone.
I mean, I'm perfectly fine with the vibrator, but those weird squares are right skeevin me out.
Those squares are switches. Commonly use in Germany for light switches. I’d guess they might be buzzers for an apartment lobby, hence the phone with no number pad.
Probably mid way through a renovation. Or they just paid the painter and didn't bother to clean them.
I feel like this would be in an art gallery sometime in the 80-90s.
That’s one expensive vibrator.
What that someone you?
lol what in the actual heck
you have NO IDEA the uses you could give to vibrator mode on the phone 😈
Who wouldn't want a nice shoulder massage during a long phone call?
Waiting for the phone to ring has never been so exciting
