Do you say "give me a Kleenex" and it wasn't that brand? Do you say "Make a Xerox copy" and you're not using a Xerox copier?

BTW, it is still called a DIAL: http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4ADRA_enUS333US333&q=telephone+dial+pad&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=rzR-SuHMA4LWtgPe5K3vCg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4

Oh, dial phones were around for longer than the 1960's and most telecoms still support pulse dialing. It was called "pulse dialing" because each digit in the number was represented by that many pulses on the line, so the further you rotated the dial, the more pulses were sent. Even when handsets switched to numeric keypads, some of them still sent a series of pulses. Nowadays, almost every phone uses the DTMF (dual tone) system. And remembering a 10 digit number is becoming antiquated and once that is gone I suspect we will no longer say that we are "dialing" a number. I suspect that soon we'll just be able to talk to the phone, "call Domino's", and that will be the end of "dialing".
