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.

    Are you sure about that? Dial tone is a sound you hear before dialing, not the sound you hear when you press a key.

      I’m old enough to know what a dial tone sounds like. On this phone’s phone app once you hit a key, it’ll make the key tone and then start making the droning dial tone sound until you finish dialing or hit the back button to cancel.

      The only reason I can think of for them to put this in the app is to let you know you’ve got it open and some numbers have been pressed to prevent butt dialing. 🤷🏻‍♂️
