You should get one of those hand crank ones like you see in Bugs Bunny cartoons. "HELLO OPERATOR OPERATOR GET ME [blah blah blah]...."

I always thought having one of those candlestick phones would be cool, but I could never pull the trigger.

I wonder if it was customary / necessary to shout into those things or was that just something Bugs did.

I'm pretty sure it was just Bugs being Bugs :D

What the hell did the crank even do?

Candlesticks didn't have the crank.  The crank generated electricity to notify the switchboard operator to plug into your phone.

You don't shout into phones?  How else will people hear me from so far away?
