A 500? I think they do that for the "retro" appeal. My neighbour actually still uses a 500. He's too cheap to dish out the like 3 something bucks for touch tone service. That's pretty damn cheap.
Speaking previously of analog to digital conversions, most households have several appliances that do that all the time. The baseset of a cordless phone connected to the POTS converts the analog from the CO to digital, then back to analog, out the transmitter, back to digital in the handset, then back to analog! Four conversions from CO to your handset.

Best have a talk with your neighbour. If he's still RENTING that 500 set, the last I knew it was about $5.25/month for that thrill. CHEAPer to trade it in & get Touch Tone service. :read:

$5.25 to rent the 500? All I know is that he needed a new handset cord, and bell wouldn't fix it for him, so luck would have it (and in this case, he must be the luckiest SOB alive) that his neighbour (moi) actually has spares of that sort! So I fixed it for him.
cat 6, my barber over here in chateauguay has a metal dial 500 rented from bell and hard wired, that phone must have cost him about a million so far, he told me its been in his shop since it opened in 1963!
