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 have three landline phones in my house on the same line, will this device connect to all three at once?

Does it work with fax machines?

@SPV66 Ай бұрын

How to do the reverse? Use my cellphone, connected via something like Bluetooth mode to the land phone, and use the cellphone to make calls using the landline number? Any advice on this appreciated. 👍🏼 Thanks.

@alanminnema6778 2 ай бұрын

Ok, maybe I fast forward too fast, but will the rotary ring? When you get an incoming call.

@HeavyMetalHorizons 2 ай бұрын

Yes it will ring!

@michelatelierdusoi2009 3 ай бұрын

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.

These old phones were always reliable and never failed as do mobiles, if we have outages and the computer and mobiles go down, only the landline works. Why everything is going digital when it is totally unreliable, as is most of todays technology, as it all relies on electricity, is beyond me ??😮 Plus the fact that all phones today are ugly and all look the same🤔

@danw5414 6 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.

@computerjantje 5 ай бұрын

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 5 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.

Is it possible to use it with a fax device?

@HeavyMetalHorizons 2 ай бұрын

I'm not 100% sure... but yes I think it would work. The fax machine will dial the number, which should work fine, and then once the fax connection is established I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

@awesomemercerdude 16 күн бұрын

Allegedly, if your house doesn’t have landline/VoIP service, you can hook the entire unit up to your house, and if the mobile rings, every wired phone in the house will ring as if you’ve got honest to God landline service. Haven’t tried it myself.
