Answer 1

As long as the phone isn't large or contains any sharp/foreign objects, it's fine to go with you as a carry-on.

Answer 2

Okay, so you bought an antique phone. How big is the phone? How precious is it? Does it have sharp objects? There should be no problem bringing it in as long as there's nothing on that phone that could be harmful to the passengers in any way.

Answer 3

Yes, I have done it many times. Kirk

Answer 4

If it fits in your carry-on i can't think of any reason it should be a problem.
