It turns out people like using the phone in their pocket more than the one used by strangers, tagged, with none of their numbers and a ripped up phone book attacked to a hard plastic case, that always makes your hands smell like metal after you dial.
yeah, but Im over here trying to figure out how to connect an old Nortel Millennium so that the display works for caller ID… (I want to put one of these in the garden)
You’ve got a payphone you’re trying to setup? That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.
Currently I got hold of an old 1950’s wall-mounted rotary phone and it’s hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.
Havn’t bought one yet. Just eyeing my next project (realistically 2 projects from now). I narrowed down the Millennium cause I think I could get the most utility out of it. If I were to really do it how I would like Id need a pbx and thats a project Im definitely not willing to take on for some time.
Well, and the whole ‘unlimited nationwide calling for $20 a month’ (at least in the states) replacing ‘$2 a minute with a $19.99 line fee per month’ making cell phones a lot more financially feasible playing a tiny role in this, too…
