    Hi. I have an old rotary phone that I want to connect up. Is it possible? Can anyone recommend someone who does it? Any advice appreciated. Thanks

    Old phones use pulse dialling rather than tone dialling and they have a high Ring Equivalent Number so some internet boxes may not power them like a real phone line could.

    You'll need to buy a pulse to DTMF adaptor or you could use a second phone to dial the number.
