Rotary Phone -> VoIP (SIP)

Now I’m sure y’all remember my previous rotary phone revival from exactly 4 years ago… This time however, instead of transforming it into a full mobile/GSM phone, the plan is to make it more “enterprise friendly” by using VoIP, more exactly the SIP protocol.

Rotary Dial Phone Revival – 4 – Final

This is the next and final step after dealing with the headset a few weeks ago.

Rotary Dial Phone Revival – 3 – The Headset

This is the next piece of work after step 2 that dealt with the ringing bells, and now it’s time to look into the headset and how we can connect this to the new brain of the phone.

Rotary Dial Revival

I know it’s been a long time since my last post, but hey, at least I have an excuse…  he’s 2 and a half and knows no rest or the meaning of the phrase “staying still” 🙂

This is (hopefully) only the 1st part of a series, based around this ’70s Rotary Dial Phone from Eastern Europe. I inherited it from my grandad when he passed away a couple of years ago. This is the same phone that I remember from when I was a kid and would play with at my grandparents’ house… ok, ok, I’ll stop here with the nostalgia 🙂

So I can personally confirm it’s at least 35 years old, but probably more like 40 or 50. Most importantly it has quite a sentimental value for me, which means I have to be careful what I do with it !
