Answer 1

The original phone dialing system was rotary dial, where you rotate the  dial  and it makes picks up and disconnects (makes clicking noise) the line quickly to tell the phone company the number you dialed. IT works by clicking once for 1, twice for 2, three times for 3 ... and ten times for 0.

Touch tone is the modern phone system. Where you push a button on your phone and makes a beeping noise. The pitch (or tone) of the beep tells the phone system where to direct your call.

All North American city phone lines will use touch tone and nearly all can still use rotary. You likely are already using it you just don't know it.
