This is one of the reasons why, for long calls, I do not like using my cell phone--I went back to running a landline phone off a Bluetooth adaptor & paired my cellphone up to that.
Best thing for performance, though, is the regular old landline phone. For actual use, the landline telephone is your friend.
Good phones would be (Not covering wall phones because it's less fun to have to nail one to a wall)
Western Electric 2500. (Push button dialing, most surviving models have 12-button keypads.) It's a phone. The plastic handset is pretty great, and basically it's the classic 500 wearing push buttons. These are legitimately great corded phones.
Western Electric 500. I rate this phone right under the 2500, mainly because it was available only with a rotary dial. This is the classic rotary telephone and stayed in service from about 1950 to the 1980s. Many remain in use--they are just good phones.
Western Electric 302. I rate this under the 500 as a daily user, but there's nothing wrong with these at all--they're just old. These were designed in the late 1930s and are a 1940s icon. They have a smaller footprint than the 500, though, so that's great. Now why I do like these is because they have the famous F1 handset on them. This is a solid Bakelite handset that remains cool to the touch, has an interesting texture. The cloth cords are a fun texture during phone calls if you are the fidgeting type. Unfortunately for modern users these only come with a 10-digit rotary dial.
Western Electric D1/202. This phone I'm rating down at the bottom tier, even though it's an excellent telephone if you get a really sweet deal on one and like playing electrician.
Unfortunately, though, these were built right at the end of the 1920s and discontinued some time in the 1930s. Due to their advanced age (by now they are going on a century) they're a lot harder to find at a low price--and even if you find the phone, the internal network, mechanical ringer, and anti-sidetone condenser are contained in a steel "subset" box that has to be wired to the phone on a long cord. These boxes got lost over the years.
Oh, and for added fun, though some of these turn up with F1 handsets (yay!) the collectible version has the E-series handset with the "bullet transmitter." Easily recognized by the asymmetrical spit-cup transmitter these are not the most reliable handsets in the world, and they cost more than regular F1 types.
This is what my phone is like--202 with an F1, original ringer box (forgot what model really) and an Xlink gateway to Bluetooth purchased on eBay below MSRP because I price everything according to "eh, kinda works."
Anyway if you really hate talking on the phone-
and you're like me & hate the "oh I'm so qUiRKy aNd sEnSiTIvE i doNt tALk on tHe PhONe hehe txt only pls" nonsense that people are getting into--
Go and get yourself a telephone that was actually designed with ergonomics in mind, rig that up to your cell so you can use your own number & avoid paying 2 separate phone bills, and then maybe talking on the phone will be a lot easier.
