It's a retro style telephone
the dial doesn't work. I could receive incoming calls (I assume). It cost £55, so it's not a huge amount of cash, just frustrating.

From now on i'll stick to Amazon.com

I've decided the same
I don't even bother with ebay most of the time.

A retro style telephone? Those with the numbers in little holes in a wheel?

You know, when you hung up the phone, there is a little "wall" that comes down, and you hear the click. You can dial by pressing that wall the right number of times, with a little pause in between numbers. Don´t press it too hard, as if hunghing up, just enough to make the noise.

Yeah, it's a refurbished 1970's telephone with a modern socket

Then you can make calls if you're patient enough
