What About Rotary Phones??
Rotary Phone Support??
Only as long as it can still accommodate Pulse Dialing.
It would suck if my Antique Phone Collection became my answer only phone collection.
Can they teach the VoIP box some Binary Code??
Pulse Dialing is real only ones and zeros...
Touch-Tone is a more complex Mixed-Analog Audio Tone converted to Digital.

Pulse dialing should be no problem. The device in your house that the phones plug into just has to support it. Whether it will or not is dependent on demand - there is no technology limitation.
Perhaps you will sign up with the VoIP provider that has devices that support pulse. The question is are you willing to pay a premium price for that?

I have quite a few phones that date back to the WWII era, and yes I would not mind paying any additional cost(within reason) to keep them working for another 60 years.
Maybe it's a Bell System thing, but no one makes telephones like Western Electric did.

Ma Bell wanted something that they wouldnt have to replace or service but still charge a lease on and make lots of profit. the result was phones made from used tank armor....
