I wouldn’t bring up rotary dial, they will look to see if your horse and buggy are tied to the hitching post out front. Might as well mention it doesn’t support party line.
Anyone trying to use a non-DTMF capable phone will have trouble using voicemail and IVR anyway. If you really need to connect your antique phone: http://www.dialgizmo.com/ From: Chuck McCown Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2015 6:08 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] voip inadequacies I am compiling a list of sip/voip issues I have run into over the years. I am going to get beaten up by some bureaucrats tomorrow morning and I want to have a list to defuse them before the oral part of the proceedings start. I am going to say that ATA/SIP/VOIP is not suitable for the following: Fax Machines (don’t even get me started on this, tried to do a doctor’s office and pharmacy once....) TDD The teminal that deaf people use. Does anyone know if a TDD will work on a garden variety ATA? I don’t have one I can test with. Dial up modems.... Fire Alarm control panels (the monitoring companies refuse to even hook it up if you tell them it is VOIP). Burglar Alarms .... ditto I wonder about heart monitors that you wear and have the results phoned in. Dial phones. I have never tried to use a pulse dial phone on an ATA/SIP unit. I wonder if it would work. Any others?
