The Push-Button Telephone
Push-button phones are now the norm. In June 1964, Touch-Tone service was inaugurated in Montreal and in Malton, Ontario. With the push-button telephone replacing the rotary dial phone, combined with electronic switching technology introduced in 1967, the plain old phone became a data terminal.
Over the years, many new services have been introduced - speed calling, three-way calling, call forwarding, call management (call display, call screen, call trace, call return) - to ensure confidentiality, security and convenience through better control of incoming calls. As a result, subscribers have better control of the use of their phones.
