Pose set with traditional phone

paulawp (marahzen)

Does anyone know of a pose set that uses/includes a traditional landline phone like the sort that was in every home at least through the 70s-80s-90s (and probably before and to a certain extent, after)? There's multiple sets with cell phones but for retro scenes a classic phone set would be nice. Thanks!

LOL, I feel old that I have to describe the phone my friends and I used as teenagers as "retro."

Those maybe?

There are a number of sets that include poses with classic old-style phones from the 40s, but the phone style you're looking for is a pretty rare bird.  That said, you can find them and there's a classic rotary version included in this set https://www.daz3d.com/tele-phony which does have the handset as a seperate prop, and a "princess style" set with poses for G8F in https://www.daz3d.com/z-pin-up-mania-props-and-poses-for-genesis-8-female Between the two of those, you should be able to make just about anything you want, and if the cords don't work for your pose you can use this set of props from SIckleyield to replace it https://www.daz3d.com/sy-dforce-ropes-vines-and-tubes  I know I have a pushbutton version that came out of an office set as well, but memory's failing me at the moment.  Finally, there's also a cheap freebie set that includes a wall version over at shareCG https://sharecg.com/v/63274/gallery/11/Poser/Old-Phones-and-1960s-Office 

Oh, and as for still being in use, I and many folks I know still maintain a classic landline phone for the simple reason that the basic models don't require any power to operate beyond what comes out of the phone jack, so when the power is out and the cel service is out, the landline is still functional. Rather usefull when you're in a place with hurricanes, blizzards, martian invasions, etc.

If you have Bone Minion or an appropriate pose converter, you could use these old sets, but they are definitely pinup types:

Most of the office sets have more modern landline phones. A lot of  Fugazi1968's sets also have landlines in them. But they may not be with separate handsets or rigged.

I still have a landline as blizzards are quite common where I am. Plus I use the landline to call my cell when I can't find it LOL

I actually still have a landline IRL - though one using more modern equipment than the 80s-era whimsy I had in mind when starting this thread - as I used to spend a lot of time on the phone in client calls.

We don't have blizzards where I live now, but I still don't really trust cell phones in a bigger emergency. I don't know if it would still be the case, but I was on the road at a client site back 20 years ago when the power went out across the Eastern US. Everyone else grabbed their cell phones, which of course did not work. I walked up to a phone booth (remember those?  ), called a friendly client on the other side of the country with her company's 1-800 number, told her what was up and had her get a message to my husband back home.

Thanks for the suggestions on the thread. I have picked up a couple of these.
