Looks like the harder part (nowadays) would be having a phone with a headphone jack. Maybe they've made newer models with USB-C, BT (though the cord is part of the fun!) and/or lightening..?

Edit: A quick search shows they are indeed still available with adapters.

Didn't any of your phones come with the usb-c to headphones jack adapter? I still got mine from a while back and even one from when apple used to do that as well. If not, I don't think they cost too much to get one online.

No, I don't have any, but yes they're trivial to buy. Unless there is a 245% markup! ;)

I had one, no you don't. The audio quality was terrible.

Sounds like an authentic experience of using one of those old landlines.

An old landline would have sounded better, this was like two simplex radios that are just out of tune with each other. You could hear the other person talking but it was stacticy and you really had to work to make out what they were saying.
