Are there Mobile Rotary phones?

[rtp129495]

Those ones of the past are interesting, but this device (Verizon FT2260VW), which I currently own and use allows the use of a 12 volt battery inside of it that charges when plugged in. It also allows an external 12VDC power plug in. This could be used in a car to hook it to a cigar lighter adapter to power it and charge it that way. While its intended as a "backup", one could hook a rotary phone to it with a Dial gizmo or similar device and have a "mobile" rotary phone that actually makes calls!!!! and have a conversation. At my parents this device is hooked to a dialess 500 and works and rings when people call the number. its pretty awesome! im glad newer tech allows these phones to be used. I know that dial Gizmo works with this device as i have tried.

Heres the e-bay listing as an example!

Here is a photo of my phone I bought off eBay for $50.

That's a good price- have you got it working?

Interesting article.

It was done with that sparkfun kit, that sadly has been discontinued.
