Modempak BT 2-Wire Phone Ringing Adaptor 259100030

Pretty sure JA Russell stock modempak so would be able to order for you. You can muck around with all sorts of old jacks to dodgy something up. This is a pulg and play solution. You would simply plug in to the 'phone' side of the DSL filter and your old phone will ring.

sbiddle: A rotary dial won't work on a 2 wire circuit.

Yes it will.   The problem is  calling out may be a problem unless you are connected to a Spark NEAX central office. Forget any VOIP circuit  or fiber phone.  Incoming may require a   old 3 wire BT jack or an RJ45 to BT converter

This was my point - it won't ring on a 2 wire circuit which is exactly the problem the OP was having.

The best solution is a master filter and then a standalone master jack for the rotary phone or a RJ45 socket with RJ45 to BT master adapter.

True.  I can't think of any reason why the OP would ever want to use an old rotary dial phone  for incoming calls die to their low REN value and low impedance ringer.

I think solely because they're retro. I still love my Pert phone at home and use it frequently despite having 7 other VoIP phones on my desk!

You're a glutton for punishment.  Those phones  had the worst sidetone levels  of any phone I ever used..

It was either them or one of the other 80's telecom phones that gave the other end the worst echo ever as well.

The only old phones I have are shaped like cars or r2d2 or alf.
