Some pulse to tone converters are standalone devices that can be connected
between the telephone and the telephone line. Others are integrated into
telephone adapters or even smartphone applications, enabling the use of rotary
dial phones with mobile networks.



It's worth noting that pulse to tone converters may not be compatible with all
telephone systems or networks, so it's important to ensure compatibility before
using one.

TONE DIALLING WITH ROTARY DIALS:

Tone dialling with rotary dials using the Tone dial adaptor 

 

A pulse to tone converter is a device or circuit that is used to convert rotary
dial pulses (also known as pulse dialing) into Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF)
tones. It is typically used in telecommunications equipment to interface with
modern tone-based systems that rely on DTMF signaling.

 

In traditional telephones, rotary dials were used to generate pulses
corresponding to the dialed number. Each digit had a specific number of pulses
associated with it. For example, dialing the digit "1" would generate a single
pulse, "2" would generate two pulses, and so on. These pulses were then
transmitted over the telephone line to the exchange.

 

However, with the introduction of digital systems and push-button telephones,
DTMF tones became the standard method for dialing numbers. DTMF tones are
combinations of two frequencies, one from a low-frequency group and one from a
high-frequency group. Each digit on a touch-tone keypad corresponds to a unique
pair of frequencies.

 

A pulse to tone converter is used to bridge the gap between the older pulse
dialing technology and the newer DTMF-based systems. It typically consists of a
circuit that detects the incoming pulses, counts them, and generates the
appropriate DTMF tone sequence based on the dialed number. This allows rotary
dial phones to be used with modern telephone networks that require tone dialing.




ANTIQUE AND RETRO PHONES FOR SALE:

Retro and Antique Rotary Phones.

Dial telephones can these still be used in New Zealand in 2023?

Yes, but in most areas you will need a Tone Dial converter from antique phones
NZ to enable the dial function. Analog phones use a rotary dial, most New
Zealand models are very similar with only minor differences, for example, the
printing of the numbers on the dial is slightly different for some models. On
their own, these telephones would not work with most modern telephone systems.

 

The ‘pulse dial’ that it produces is not compatible with modern telephone
equipment and VoIP adapters alike. Some areas may still accept pulse signaling
depending on the age of their equipment, but in 2023 only some Telecom NZ
exchanges support this.

Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling has been around for decades.

We have a small number of 60s and 70s telecom phones which were retrofitted with
button pads we have several some dial in tone the price will reflet that others
dial in pulse so will require a Tone Dial adaptor to enable the dial function
