Old 'brick' phone question

[Dave H]

I fancy something a bit retro....

Can an old mobile phone (the brick type) be adapted to work as a cordless from a landline?

 

[Rich..]

I doubt it, but certain models take a modern sim card.

You could bloo tac a phone to an actual brick

It can be done... we have one here that has been modded up to do that... il take a picture of it in a bit so you can see

Class idea

Surely you can just take the old internals from the brick and replace (Some how) with the internals from your cordless phone?

Precisely.. I forgot to take a photo of the one at work.

Its a "proper" old brick phone.. basically this..

We have it aptly wired up to our service "Hotline" (check the name!)
