Antique rotary phones. Real dial tone. San Diego County.
I bring vintage and analog phones back to life on modern VoIP — real pulse dialing, discreet equipment, and house wiring when you need it.
Sound familiar?
The cable modem upgrade killed dial tone on phones that still work fine.
A mid-century set looks perfect on the desk but can’t place a call.
You tried a DIY adapter and the bells won’t ring, or only one phone works.
You want a real house phone again — without a big monthly “home phone” package.
That’s a wiring and VoIP setup problem. It’s fixable.
Turnkey rotary → VoIP
Pulse dialing that works — Grandstream HT80x-class ATA set up for real rotary dials
Your phones or mine — use the antiques you already love, or I can source a restored set
One phone or a whole house — single jack up through multi-extension systems
Clear handoff — inexpensive SIP setup, plus a walkthrough so 911 has your correct address
Local — San Diego County installs and assessments
Typical projects start around $350–$600 for a basic “make my phone work” install. Multi-phone house systems and design-curated phones run higher. You’ll get a clear quote after the free assessment — no surprise add-ons.
Three steps
Assessment (free, 15 min) — Tell me what phones you have, your ISP situation, and how many jacks matter.
Quote — Flat price for hardware + setup + on-site work. VoIP monthly stays with the provider (often a few dollars to about $20/mo).
Install — ATA placed discreetly, phones tested for dial-out and ring, extensions checked if you have them.
Where I work
San Diego County — including Clairemont, Point Loma, Encinitas, Leucadia, North Park, La Mesa, and nearby neighborhoods.If you’re just outside the County, ask anyway; some jobs are still a fit.

Install and setup service — not a telephone company. Monthly calling is billed by your VoIP provider. VoIP 911 needs power, internet, and a registered service address. Rotary dials usually can’t send * or # menu codes.
