Although push-button touch-tone phones made their debut to the general public in 1963, the rotary dial telephone remained common into the 1970s. Adoption of the push-button phone was steady, as it gained popularity within the workplace first, and then within homesl by the 1990s it was the overwhelming majority. This phone incorporates a screen which allowed the user to see the number of the caller if they (the user) had subscribed to Caller ID. The features on the Maestro 3000 could also be customized in order to personalize the phone. These features include: language, time and date, ring tone and ringer volume, feature light on or off, area code display, function of caller list, and a programmable timer key. - Area Notes
