You still can. Nowadays it shows you really mean it!
-
U can still do that!
Once
-
Now most of the SLAMming is done in headlines.
-
And when you do, you rattle the bells inside so it makes a ding.
-
"Don't slam the damn phone"
-
Ma Bell phones were built like tanks. Much tougher than the famously tough Nokia bricks.
-
Civilization at its peak.
-
And the public phones were indestructible.
There was no way to dammage them without equipment. -
When the phones were still attached to a cable, the people could walk more free.
-
Can still do that if you want to, and it is still spectacular.

I can't even hang up my office desk phone by hammering the receiver disconnect button with my finger anymore, the receiver has a sensor that detects it is close to the cradle.
Technology has gone too far.
It's just stripping our lives away!
I worked in a place where you dialed in to the PA system, and NOT using your finger to hang up was a rookie move, since the rattling of the receiver was deafening over the speakers. Definitely worse to use a sensor.
The bigger issue is you can't call the customer an asshole as your hang up the receiver after having already pressed the button to disconnect the call. Now you have to pause the profanity for a few extra moments.
