黒電話(600形)のダイヤルを、指の感触ごと再現したシミュレータです。 ■ 本物と同じ回し心地 ・穴に指を入れて指止めまで回す。途中で離すと番号は入りません ・1目盛りごとに「コリッ」と振動が返り、離すとガバナー制御の等速で戻ります ・回す音、戻る音、指止めの手応えを個別に作り込んでいます ■ 実際に発信できます ・回した番号にそのまま発信できます(発信前にiOSの確認が出ます) ・緊急番号(110・118・119)には発信できません ■ ベルも鳴ります ・昔の呼び出し音を再現。受話器を上げると止まります ■ 設定 ・音量は5段階、振動はオン/オフ ・マナーモード中でもダイヤルとベルの音は鳴ります 昭和の電話台にあった、あの黒い電話機の手触りをそのまま持ち歩けます。
