Got recommended github.com/funkeleinhorn/sc14c and after looking more into the SC14CVMDECT module, it's actually really quite useful, being entirely controlled via serial, only needing 3.3 volts and a few resistors and capacitors to support a audio jack

Since I'm gonna have to make my own custom PCB, I decided to actually try and make a DECTspansion module of the Tildagon (EMF Camp badge)

I've thrown together an initial board
github.com/jasonalexander-ja/d

kicanvas.org/?github=https%3A%

Just a small module, with the DECT module controlled via serial by the client application on the Tildagon and a audio jack where a novelty phone handset can be connected, I've also broken out the serial to a header so that I can control the DECT module from an RPi and that also makes exploring the DECT module interface easier from a PC, just need to get this fabbed and see what happens

“Red Telephone Box”
A red telephone box/booth, likely a K6 kiosk, located near the harbor in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland, still stands a little weathered and worn.
From what I understood, it is the last one still standing in Ballycastle.

I figured it out!!!! CentryLink!
Apparently, most of their employees don’t know that you can get a landline without internet service.

But the website chat had someone who could help.

So happy right now!

Time to lower my internet bill to accommodate it 😂

So preparations for #emfcamp

My fursuit has a rotary telephone inside, and I'd be stupid if I didn't get it working on DECT, I already have a Pi Zero in there with a GSM module, but finding something similar for DECT is proving a little more allusive

The best I could find is this module codico.com/en/homea-dhx913-ext

Which actually has a RPi GPIO header, the issues are 1. expensive and 2. is DECT ULE even gonna be compatible?

If anyone can weigh in who knows the setup at EMF or perhaps knows of another approach that can be used I'd be very grateful

#emf#emf2026#dect

Does anyone in Portland know who still does POTS lines?

I thought it was CentryLink but they won’t transfer me to the right person in their company…

My building is wired & I know it has service but my landlord doesn’t know who set it up cause it’s so old! 😂

Interactive art installation of vintage-inspired telephones in Edmonton nominated for global award

"The "Play it by Ear" art installation is in Edmonton's Butler Memorial Park. Each pair of telephones is connected by looping landlines. Park visitors can pick up any telephone, and a matching phone will ring elsewhere in the park."

"Your mailbox is full" said two people to me this week. (on the Grandma... err.. landline)

Oh look, this is why... NO ONE CALLING THAT PHONE NUMBER IS A REAL PERSON (except maybe 2 calls in 200).

(fortunately, not paying anything, running it through Free OOMA VOIP)
