Yes mine is in a phone branded box (if memory serves me right it’s audioline)

Yup, as Pughie said. Had a little general use insert too (Which was not Erasure-branded).

You know, I was pretty psyched about getting one years ago, but it really is a generic low-end phone with a screenprint on it that could be applied to so many things now. The welcome mat or teapots for ISISIS are a little more unique, although the pots are
still screenprinted.
Not saying I wouldn't still buy the phone and keep it, but the prices I would have paid years ago just don't seem as worth it to me now. I just need to walk into a thrift shop at the right moment when this comes in, and it's a done deal.

Pre-internet it must've been very exciting to see and receive!!

Yeah... looks a bit disappointing and mundane to me. Just a branded thing with no relationship to the album.
On the other hand, if it had looked more like THIS...
Well NOW you'd be talking! It might have been more appropriate and I'd maybe covet it much much more!
...and here's the Phantasgamorical edition:

Let's face it, there were even better ideas that would have been more on the nose.
If only...
