WILL YOUR TELEPHONE WORK?
Remember that dial telephones need to have PULSE DIALLING on your telephone line to be able to dial out. Even if you have TONE DIALLING, which is the other form of dialling, they will still ring on an incoming call. You would still be able to pick up the call and talk. You would not be able to dial out.
Most antique (and later) models have mechanical bells. Many telephone lines now are termed VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). These ‘lines’ do not have enough “juice” to power the telephone’s bell sets. The Trimfone is the exception. However, there are APAs (Analogue phone adapters) on the market. Have not had a personal experience with these though.
