I have a couple of these same colourI have this old ( dirty) phone that I must have had for about 40 years, it has an excellent ring but the days of using a finger to dial slowly are over for me!
I must admit I have been landline free for 3 years, so spam callers no longer bother me, and with the correct router (Fritzbox) my ancient phone can still ring and answer calls, this is one of the phones in my collection

Is that a genuine "Ericafon" or a copy ...?

Most of my phones are more "normal" retro! This is a selection. I have multiples of some of them - like four of the red 746's!

I'm jealous - I did hold one in about 1980! I was selling them!
I also have a Key and Lamp, though I modified it to flash the lights via USB, I keep trying to get a decent 776, Brother in Law Dave has a 223 in Ivory, I had a 741 with extended handset cord, but gave it away some years go, I took out a lot of 41F in the 80's, but never kept any
Did they do a push button MF Version

I only know of the dial version Ericafon. My Trimphone is green push-button, seems to be missing from the pix, but there are more, somewhere!
I have a spare on of these for £125 if anyone is interested, Tony will talk you through setting it up
Was that the one that required a battery, that you can no longer get

Errr... oooohhh? ummmm.....?
I need a new base gasket for mine, they are silly money
The Trimphone, also the early PB 700/800 series needed a battery, the early ones were pulse dial only

I'd have to find the phone, no idea what version it is!
I'll just forward the call to a certain Phil.........
Had my landline cut off when my then teenage kids friends got their first mobile phones! Turns out they where ringing my kids from their mobiles and asking them to ring them back so they didn't use up their money!! My bill went from about £50 every 3 months to well over £300. Strong words were had and the phone cut off.
