People still dial phone numbers, although the dial is obsolete.

Indeed, though some weeks ago I was trying to download a major software update at a store in a Designer Outlet centre near York (UK). They had a broadband client installed, but it connected and immediately disconnected. I hooked a phone to the DSL splitter, dialled my home telephone number and heard the unmistakable "whirr, click, click, click" of a rotary telephone exchange. I suggested the store owner went next door but one to the British Telecom outlet and pounded the counter until BT made their line compatible with all the goodies they had sold the store.

As an aside, in 1983 when there were still plenty of dial-up telephones around, we used to play a nasty joke on the parents of a friend whose home telephone number ended in 7777. "Hello! No, Mr. Kingston, you don't know me but my finger's stuck in the dial!"
