I don't think so. You didn't own that phone, after all. You were granted the ability to use it by MaBell. I remember when we had to return the old phones or pay for them.
I wasn't paying the phone bill in those days, but I think the phone bill represented a smaller percentage of overall household expenses before the monopoly was broken.
