Old is always gold.

I'm thinking of getting this for my mother who is in her 70's and really bad with her cellphone. I want to buy it and a nice looking old phone to pair with it.

Thats so sweet;-;

I remember this! Was the phone made by Western Electric? This was the phone you'd rent from the phone company (there was only one in each city, or area) for a dollar and change (if I remember) every month. It wasn't much, but added up over years, you're paying hundreds. You had full coverage on it, but never needed, made of heavy plastic outside, and steel parts inside. I think the most secure, military phone lines used today are still using pulse dialing on original land lines. They don't need additional power, and will probably always work, as long as the wires are still connected. Real simple.

This is great for homes with very poor cell signal. You can put the cell phone and Cell2Jack by a window and run the phone wire to your kitchen, dining or living room. Put the Cell2Phone in the second story room and run the phone wire down to your living room land line style phone. For people that live in an area without land lines, and when you have to step outside to use the cell phones. Great Product ! :-) Very clever idea.

If your gonna do that you might as well just get a straight talk home phone box cause you can put the box where you would put your cell phone and it's 15 dollars a month

Most homes older ones have entire house wired for a phone already just plug it in to any phone jack in the house and now you can call from any phone jack in the house. Don't have to pay for 2nd phone service. This is great idea for 911 phone next to your bed ready to go doesn't matter where your cell phone is as long as it's close enough to the cell2 jack box. Couple of weeks ago dog was barking side yard at 4am got up looked out the window sure enough couple of guys trying to get into my car. Run around looking for my cell phone get the police rolling before I go out there, they had not gotten the door open yet. I wanted these guys caught well got the police but cluster with them didn't even show up for hours later. These guys ran as soon as I yelled hey! out window they bolted.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Just saw a video with this kind of retro phone and wondered how it was being used. Your review is very useful since this is a future project for me.

You can also just pay 10$ a month for a landline and plug the phone directly into house line without this contraption

Much better idea is to use voip gateway! First - you get independent, fixed phone number from voip operator, second there very many kinds of voip gateways, most of them are able to receive pulse (rotary) dialing.

Your phone should have rang. Either there is something wrong with your old phone, your set-up, or your Cell2Jack is defective.

I prefer the rotary phone on its own, without the cell phone.

Going to be using this for a car phone. Sadly the US got rid of the analog standard but Europe didn't

Howd it work?

Well, these are perfectly fine to keep using today. The only thing is the cable, which is designed to be wired directly to the telephone pole, and makes it incompatible with the phone connector nowadays. But with some modifications it should be perfectly fine.

hey thanks for the video dude sad that the old phone doesnt ring when you get a call in I wonder if there is a way to make it ring when you get a call in

I'm damn lucky, my local CO does both pulse and touch tone!

This is cool I need to get this for my mother could call 911 lot faster than fumbling with a smart phone could be left in another room keep a land line next to your bed. Of course, get a touch tone phone. It just blue tooth calls on a cell phone anywhere in your home.

I would use this if I could hide all the wires and cell to jack. Men don't seem to care but women don't like a bunch of wires.

wonder if it will work with the viatv videophones .. back in 90s u would call the other person normal call and then u would hit # button when they awnsered.. the took few seconds then would see them on the screen .. .. but was wondering the videophones back then that worked on the phone line at the time would it work on the digital phone lines these days ? or will we need a ?

That’s one cool phone I just ordered one off eBay from the 1940s

So I have a yellow phone exactly like your yellow phone, no landline and a Bluetooth compatible cellphone. Only internet is on my cell. Will this work with that? If not can you recommend something that will? I tried cell2 jack, with a newer phone, but it sounded tinny, garbled and far away for sender and receiver. Thanks

thank you for irreversible damage my eardrums with your 15 minute intro

i got one of these celljack boxes....thing is nothing happens when im finished dialing on the rotary dial despite its all connected to my cell phone via bt. On a push button phone i can dial then i have to press # for my cell phone to initiate the call...so far im out of luck trying to dial out on the rotary dial.

I have had this thing for 5 years and it never worked with any of my rotary phones for dialing out.

My great great Grandma used to have that kinda of telephone before cellphone and my mom used to have telephone before and I'm thinking about to buy me telephone just in case if my cellphone is stop working or for emergency and at least I'll have a house phone

Does this work with a fax machine?

Mine was staying outside for 3-4 years I wonder if it works

Mine works fine on Verizon land line in New England, call in and out no devices needed.

@@dilhangurbuzergamingchanel7306 I wonder why this is a misconception. Companies still install landlines, just nobody asks for them anymore and they still service them. My phone line in my 60's house has been there since the house was built although AT&T hooked it to our fiber in 2021.

Could you just play the DTMF tone into the microphone for #?

This guy has tik tok lol😂

I thank G-d for You.

With the upgraded firmware you can increase the ringing voltage. It could fix the ringing unless the bell broke.

No way to get the ringer to work?

I just bought it but ordering from Uk to europe costs alot. I paid more than 140€ in total for the phone only, not the Cell2Jack that costs even more 😢

Can you get incoming calls thank you so much for your time I'd like to hear the phone ring

What was the ringtone?

Just set it up with a dtmf phone and then plug the rotary phone in instead

How did you pair the cell phone with the cell2jack? I saw in the instructions that you have to press #*# on the home phone, but old rotary phones don't have these symbols available.

The Cell2Jack work very well for its price. You can also add a splitter from the out port that goes to the phone cord and it will allow you to run two phone on it, like an extension. You may be able to run even more, but I have only tried running two. The X Links can be tapped into your home phone wiring (after being disconnected from the telco wiring coming into your house) and is powerful enough to power phones all over your house. I have four in my house and they work great connected with my iPhone. I don’t know how well the C2J could handle that, though. The X Link can be paired to two different cell phone but the C2J can only be paired to one. Also, I have found that the bluetooth range is greater on the X Link than the C2J and the connection time (time between when you finish dialing and your call gets connected and starts ringing) is slightly faster with the X Link; however, both are slower than a telco landline connections. Both are compatible with more modern “tone” (beeping sounds as you dial) as well as the old “pulse” (clicking sounds when you dial) dialing that a rotary dial phone requires, so you will not need to buy any other equipment to use older or antique phones. Both boxes will allow the phones to ring when a call comes through your cell; however, older phones (from the early 1980s and prior) may have had the wiring inside the phone altered or the ringer wiring altered or disconnected by the telco for use on “party lines” (you used to share your phone line with your neighbors but phones were wired so each household had it’s own ring). I believe that is why the phone in the video wouldn’t ring. On the X Link, my phones also ring when I get a FaceTime calls on my Apple iPhone. I can’t recall if that is true with C2J. The C2J was a great starter, but I later moved up to the X Link because I wanted to better be able to connect and use all of my antique phone collection around the house. Either way, I think you’ll be pleased overall.
