Preferably with a dial instead of a keypad.

Can't really tell from the photo, but it looks like this phone lacks the extra long cord so important to kitchen phones. So you can wander around the kitchen, with the handset between your chin and shoulder, being productive while the person on the other end of the line drones on endlessly about something or the other.

Anyone else have a landline phone jack in the kitchen where a wall mounted phone previously hung? If so, what did you do with it? Obviously the "best" solution would be to remove the jack, patch the hole in the wall board, and paint over patch in a way that no one would ever notice what had been done. Obvious, if I could do all that competently, I wouldn't be asking this question. Any ideas? Remove the wall jack and replace it with a flat plate? Remove the wall jack and replace it with cubby hole to store a deck or two of playing cards. Install some sort of pull-out/tilt-out box for storing pieces of string or pencils too short to keep, but not short enough to throw away?

We had a landline wall mounted in our kitchen. When we took it down we covered the jack with a lovely Kate Libby monthly calendar 😊
 
I had one of these "rocket phones" back in the late 70's. The dial was on the bottom of the phone and the big red button in the middle of the dial was the switch so the phone hung up when you sat it down.

Sort of what we are trending to: Replace with blank plate and cover with a small image.

Hide a gun behind the fake plate... one should always have 5 or 6 guns hidden strategically around the house, no?
 
With blank plate in place. I can unequivocally and absolutely assure you this looks better than if I had tried to spackle over it. Now the long part, my wife deciding what she wants to put over the plate. Note: All the phone wiring is still in place, behind the plate, with the ends of the four wires wrapped in insulating tape.

The extra six hours and twenty bucks you saved counts as well.

Insulating tape? Not really needed there...
