Radio Shack sold one... it was the size of a pager and fit neatly in your pocket... some of them could even store several numbers to make it easier to dial them... they worked just as you said... enter the
number, place the piece near the handset mic, and hit the button... beep beep boop boop ring ring! hehehe...
