This phone is the standard phone delivered by ATEA from the late 1930s up to the early 1960s. There were versions with, and versions without the earth button at the front. Most of these phones were made of zinc alloy (also called zamak).

This phone was the base of a common phone with BTMC for deliveries to the local operating company RTT, starting from 1956.
