Connect Any Landline Phone To Your Cell Phone! (even old rotary phones!)

In this video, I'm showing how you can use the Cell 2 Jack device to connect any old landline based phone to to your cell phone. The Cell2Jack connects via bluetooth to your cell phone, and then you plug the landline phone into the device. You can then use the landline phone as normal, through your cell number. Super cool, and it only costs about $40.
Also, in this video is my old Lindbergh Field Phone (a Charles Lindbergh related novelty product from the 1990s).

This is AMAZING. In the old days, you used to see a telephone next to every recording console in studios. My business is a studio and I’ve always wanted an old phone next to the console. THIS IS THE WAY.

I looked for a device like this ten years ago largely because my phone only works in certain places of the house. Now I need to find a rotary for full awesomeness.

I'm old enough that I remember using a rotary phone with pulse dialing. Then getting a touch pad phone with pulse dialing, getting a cordless radio phone with pulse dialing and then finally getting a phone with (TA DA) touch tone dialing. 🙂 I hate to admit this, but the area I grew up in when I was a kid I remember we had a "party line" phone where you had to wait for the line to be unused to make a phone call, and there could always be someone listening in. Strange now looking back on those times. But, I can' t say I miss any of that. Neat idea for nostalgia lovers though. BTW... I'm 63 incase you wondered. Have you been taking your classic plane out much lately? William C. central Indiana.

Yeah we had party line technically but I think I only ever heard it just a few times. I'm about the same age as you.

I hated the touch pulse phones. I remember using them at my grandma's in the mid 80s when I was like 5

Can this be used the other way around, to answer incoming calls on the landline, from the cell phone? i.e. by connecting the Cell 2 Jack device's RJ11 cable, into the landline wall jack, using a two-way jack adapter, to keep the landline phone connected. If not, is there a device for this purpose? Here's the reason: I work in a restaurant which his phone is connected to a landline. When I have to take delivery calls, I am often away from the phone and have to run to it to answer. Thank you.

I ordered one. I like using my answering machine to screen calls. It is loud and tells me the name of the person.

Rotary dial phone calls, sure. But have you tried to send a text with a rotary dial?

You familiar with SDR radio? I know there is tons of videos about SDR but would be nice to see your take on it

Does "clicking over" to daily another number and "clicking back over" work using bypass on the landline phone?

I remember the old phones use a lot of power to ring. All that voltage and wattage coming from that little box connected a 5v powerbank?? If I remember right a ringing old phone takes 64volts alternating current. I don't know how much power but in the old phone are real big coils and hammers that hit real bells. I am really curious how the makers could make a device of 40 dollars doing this. Will it last beyond a few rings?

@HeavyMetalHorizons 2 ай бұрын

They don't use a lot of power. The voltage is around that but it's a tiny amount of current. So maybe around 1 watt of power or less.

Can you use the rotary phone to call your cell phone so it rings in case you can't find it?

@HeavyMetalHorizons 9 күн бұрын

No, that would be like dialing your own number with your phone. I suppose it might go to your voicemail?

@danw5414 3 ай бұрын

Can you tell me the model and the name of the battery pack you are using. This is very important. You see the point is I am disabled and if the power did not work that means that the landline phone would not work. Also one more point which in turn I simply just couldn't get out of bed and go into the next room and use the mobile phone. This device would really help me a lot. But without that battery back up you're showing it would be useless to me.

The name is "Pocket Juice Slim Pro", but any USB power bank will work. Or even a USB charger for a cell phone, or a USB plug on a computer. Any USB port which provides power will work.
