220 Vac on the line cord should have a satisfactory effect.

Just wondering when the telephone companies use to own the sets how would they wipe out any caller lists or stored number keys when they refurbished the sets?

I would think that, like with an iPhone there is a reset that wipes all personal information and brings it back to factory defaults.
At least there should be...

Back in the day (30 years ago) when GTE upgraded their feature phones to a new release, it was discovered that deleting all client information from the sets would have to be done manually.
They crushed them all and melted them down.
It was cheaper.

Thanks for that Sam. I wonder if taking the 1000 +/- sets to the same place that the disk drives get shredded at would be an option?
Have to talk to the IT security crew after the long weekend (here in Canada) to see if their shredding contractor could do that?

Disc drives get "shredded" with a large degaussing coil Memory in phones is solid state RAM and is largely unaffected by magnetic fields. So that isn't going to work. However THESE will do it. -Hal

Looked online last night and the shredding company the IT division uses for disks, does unwanted/defective product shredding back at their warehouse.
Must be the same large hammer mill they use for the disk drives as they show pictures of the finished product of disk destruction being confetti sized.
