Will a Rotary Phone Work With Comcast
Comcast provides phone jacks on their devices that provide a POTS (analog Plain Old Telephone Service) nterface to the telephone (s) n your home. Your analog phone should work for incoming calls, but if it uses rotary (pulse) ialing you probably will not be able to use it to make calls without a pulse-to-tone converter.
Pulse-to-tone converters allow you to convert the pulses from the rotary dial to the tones that the telephone needs in order to make a call. They are typically small electronic devices that you plug into the phone line near the phone and that converts the pulses into tones that the telephone can understand.
If you want to use your rotary phone with Comcast, you will need to purchase a pulse-to-tone converter. These converters can be purchased at most electronics stores and can cost between $10 and $40. Once you have purchased the converter, you will need to plug it into the wall near the rotary phone and into the Comcast phone jack.
Once you have plugged in the converter and set it up, you will be able to use your rotary phone to make calls just like any other phone in your home.
