We have changed our landline to Spectrum fiber. What do I need to get my old rotary phones to operate?       Much Thanks, Dave

First thing is to check with your provider asking if they support pulse dialing.

Spectrum is VOIP so you'll need an adapter or a Panasonic easa-phone system.

There are a number of ATAs that support pulse dialing, Grandstream makes some of the more popular ones. However, your provider must allow you to bring your own device, and even if they support pulse dialing, many ATAs can be very picky about dial speed. If it isn't bang-on, it may still not work.
