Here is my retro phone to use with internet. It's really simple to make, and if you have a handset laing around, make one of this, it's like you're really taking on the phone, and i looks great.

Hope u like it, i'll answer any questions.

Which type of handset did you use?
djr6789 says: May 7, 2009. 3:07 AM
what different types of handsets are there?

If you are using a really old handset (mine is not old, it's just old looking), you would have to change the microphone and speaker to b able to use it. I have a couple of old phones and they don't sound loud at all.

Does the polarity matter?

You could connected anyway and It may work. But it better to take the polarity in consideration. 

PS: Sorry for late answer.
