Old phone stuff's just awesome like that. One of my phones is over 60
years old and as of two years ago was still working happily hooked up to
the UK network (it's been in storage since then - I'll get it shipped over
to the US at some point, but I'm not sure if I stand a chance of it
working on the US network)
