Sometime, probably close to 20 years ago, but perhaps more recently, you heard a dial tone for the last time and you didn’t even realize it would be.

    Dial tone still exists. Pretty much every business phone that’s most likely a VoIP line still generates dial tone to the user’s headset.

        Man, reading this sentence felt like a little electric jolt to the brain as it pieced the memes together.

        If it’s not grown in the POTS region of Bell then it’s not dialtone, it’s just sparkling doot .

      Indeed, but most people will not hear it anymore as they don’t use business phones, same as ordinary landline phones

      You can pick up a payphone anywhere that still has them and most of them will play a dial tone, though those are starting to dwindle.
