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.
AMAZING I am delighted to see the oldest telephone landline!! Love that rotary telephone once again in my life where its already a digital era of smart phones.
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 miss those. One thing you can do with those old phones, that you can't with cell-phones, is slam the handset down hard to hang up. And that big chunk of heavy hardware raises your Desk-Fu to Boss level.
thanks actually been looking for something like this just to use with an old cell phone and make use of a landline phone i like a lot, hopefully can get this working
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.
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.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to figure out what i needed to do this. I'm used to seeing you with guitars. I kind of did a double take.
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.
I always wished I could have a landline for the convenience of having it in my bedroom all the time (and they're often really pretty too), but I couldn't afford the monthly payments. Thank you for your video, I now know what I'm saying up for next!
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.
Sorry I know you were asking the guy News channel this is but I wanted answer that question yes there's a bunch of different reviews over the years on this device the cell 2 Jack and in many of the reviews you can hear the people dial a number and the rotary phone or touch tone phone rings back at them.
Thank you SCORPION! While you are here, I explain the meaning of my question to you. I work in a restaurant and sometimes, I am assigned to answer the phone to take take-out or delivery orders. The restaurant has only one landline phone and I am looking for a way of being able to take the calls from my cell. Or just know that the landline phone rings. Have a nice day.

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.
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.
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🤔
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 Just tried a 2nd Cell2Jack hooked into a non-antique Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone system. Still extremely tinny quality, so not a lemon. Swapped that out for "Xtreme Technologies XLink BT HD". Chalk and cheese. Cell2Jack is going back to AMZ, X-Link is staying. It should be able to handle cellphone audio with equivalent fidelity, not downgrade it to tin can and string.

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
This is amazing 👏🏻. Saved me paying for a landline in the UK 🇬🇧.. soo cool

Great video on this oddity that I’m looking into. Now I’m a subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello, could you mention what type of adapter? does the 5v section need?
It's just a USB plug. So you can run it off a usb power bank, or any powered usb port.
@HeavyMetalHorizons What kind of usb plug?
Does it work with fax machines?
❤👏👏👏👏 Great I am from India🇮🇳 Bharat, realy appreciate, from many time i am searching that type of idea for my land line phone thsnk you 🙏 bhayya
Get this man 1 million subs... Now.
I have three landline phones in my house on the same line, will this device connect to all three at once?
Sound quality?
Is it possible to use it with a fax device?
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.

does the landline ring if someone calls the mobile number?
Yes
Will the cell phone ring at the same time as the added phone?
The cell phone will light up, and you'll see the number calling, but only the landline phone hooked up will actual ring.
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.

I ordered one. I like using my answering machine to screen calls. It is loud and tells me the name of the person.
Handy if you have a collectible phone like your lindberg that you just want to enjoy.
That is very cool!
Does it connect automatically when you come home?
If you leave it plugged in and powered on, then yes.
How to get that RJ11 adaptor
Does "clicking over" to daily another number and "clicking back over" work using bypass on the landline phone?
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean.
Ok, maybe I fast forward too fast, but will the rotary ring? When you get an incoming call.
Yes it will ring!
would this enable me to make calls through my internet dongle attached to my laptop (i dont have a cell phone)
I don't think so.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
set this up with a Google Voice phone number and have fun.
Where I can buy that adapter? I can't find him anywhere.
I have updated the link the video description. If you search for "cell2jack" you should find it.
@@HeavyMetalHorizons No, I mean that adapter from phone cord on RJ.
Very cool. I have an old brick walkie talkie type cell phone. I would love to have it work somehow. Its off topic, but you might have an idea.
What generates the dial tone?
The little white box generates the dial tone.
does it ring???
oh it does kkkkkkkk
Fun! I miss rotary dial.
can you receive calls with it?
Yes. The calls come through to the older style phone as if it were hooked up to a land line.
Can I use 2 rotary’s?
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.
You familiar with SDR radio?
I know there is tons of videos about SDR but would be nice to see your take on it
Pretty cool!
Wait. You have a 2nd channel Max?!? How did I not know this?
Hey there! Thanks for coming over!
Can you use the rotary phone to call your cell phone so it rings in case you can't find it?
No, that would be like dialing your own number with your phone. I suppose it might go to your voicemail?
Will this work on old car phones😅
Great question! I think car phones don't typically use that standard landline jack.... but maybe there's a way to adapt it. That would be super cool!

Can you play music from your cell phone to the old phone using this?
No, I don't think so.

I am really curious how the makers could make a device of 40 dollars doing this. Will it last beyond a few rings?
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.
There's a bigger one you can get I forget the name of the brand it starts with an x but it cost $60-80 or more is the Cell 2 Jack is only 40.
So basically you need to be at home for your landline to ring?
Well you don't but your cell phone does.
So cool! Does it work if someone calls you on Whatsapp?
Rotary dial phone calls, sure. But have you tried to send a text with a rotary dial?
Can you give a link for the adapter?
The link is in the video description.
Max seriously why do you still have a rotary phone? Im going to use this to convince my wife I'm not the packrat she thinks I am
Very TINNY audio quality?
You're just hearing it through the camera mic, at a distance. It's perfectly normal phone audio in person.

RJ-11 "silver satin"
A 4 prong cord? I've never seen that. Why do you even have a phone that old?!? 😂
cool stuff
