So who knew we were the first to get touch-tone dialing?

#OTD Nov. 18, 1963 in telephone #innovation, touch-tone dialing, using a Western Electric 1500 (with 9 push buttons) was 1st commercially offered by Bell Telephone to customers in the Pittsburgh area of PA. Bell first presented the phone at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair.
