Will the Fongo Home phone service work with the old rotary dial phones?

I got my system all hooked up today and indeed the old rotary phones do your......sort of.

When you pick it up, you'll get a dial tone, but when use use the dialer it wont dial the number. Looks like is doesn't support the old pulse technology.

The old rotary dial phones do however ring when a call is incoming and you can answer the call with them.

I think that would be the results that I would expect.

By the looks of it there is a few ATAs that will work with the old pulse dialing https://wiki.voip.ms/article/Pulse_dial

Only you can decide if it is worth investing in one or not. I would hope it's not your only phone for calling out otherwise you are only going to be getting half the service :)
