FAQ

Why doesn't my telephone dial out?

Your service provider likely doesn't support pulse or rotary dialing telephones. Please contact your provider to ensure that is the issue. If so, you will require a pulse to tone converter in order to dial out.

Will the pulse to tone converter make my phone functional?

Short answer, No. Your telephone needs to be in working order, with the exception of not being able to dial out. Please ensure you have dial tone, speaker and microphone work and the phone rings.
