She didn’t dial anywhere near enough numbers

Not necessarily! This particular phone had a feature that let you set shortcut numbers. It was an advanced form of the "long press a single number to dial a particular contact" feature that came before it. So you could go into your contacts and—via a series of absurdly complicated menus for such a simple device—you could set "7752" as the shortcut number to dial say, your bank of fax machines that somehow deliver the equivalent of 100Base-T Ethernet speeds.

    Excellent catch!

    Don't feel bad. I was able to distinguish by ear between a T.38 fax handshake and a V.34+ modem handshake which definitely reveals my oldness 😆
