No. The microphone is in the bottom part (which you held near your mouth, and the speaker is in the top part (which you held next to your ear). This whole piece is sometimes called the hand set. When I was growing up, the one phone in the house was in the kitchen, attached to the wall. The cord was long enough that you could do dishes while talking on the phone. There was no voice mail and no answering machine. If someone called and you were on the phone, they would hear a busy signal. If you weren't home, it would ring until they gave up.
