Now here is a phone for you…

Okay, so for a long time now I’ve wanted to put together an actual telephone and connect it with the ATA I bought when SDF rolled out its’ telephony VOIP service.

Has anyone here done this with a WE 302, specifically? It’s the model I’d love to have on my desk (I’d settle for a WE 500 if I had to…) The sets can be found on eBay (maybe questionable quality) fairly inexpensively right now and I have a bit of time to do something like this.

For those who have done a project like this: is there anything to watch out for? Will this model work with existing the VOIP service? (My ATA will work with rotary phones supposedly)

    I picked up an rotary phone at garage sale and got it hooked up to an ATA but my ATAs don’t understand pulse dialing, otherwise it worked fine.

    I few trial and error to get the phone wired up. The phone came from the era of the phone being own by the teleco

    One of my get-around-to-it-someday-maybe projects is to stuff an RPiZero or something into a classic phone and have it do VoIP over wifi. Like a VoIP version of Sparkfun’s port-o-rotary from … dear god, almost 20 years ago.
