I do not think Obihai should spend time on this.
if you are right and the collector field is so hot, design and build converts from VOIP to rotory and make millions.
I think the main reason we stopped using the old Bell style phones is all of the people clocked over the head and killed. I saw lots of that on tv. You can't bludgeon someone with a modern phone. Most don't even have a phone cord to strangle someone with(the Obi1032 and 1062 have good strangling cords) and since your kid probably stole your charging cable your out of luck there too. You can still burn someone real good with a lithium ion battery if you can get them to hold still long enough.
:D ;D :D ;D :D
I needed that laugh!
I should weigh my WE 302. It's probably several pounds of steel, brass, Tenite and Bakelite, and it has two nice strong cloth-covered and reinforced cords. Not only could you smash somebody over the head with it or strangle them, you could probably hang them, too. If that phone were sold today, it would be required to have a label on it: "This phone is not a toy. Strangulation risk. Keep away from small children and pets." Listen to it ring -- file attached.

Do not forget the Prop 65 warning: "WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."

It is a wonder there is not a parallel to carpel tunnel syndrome for rotary dial phone dialing.
It was reported that in 2006 only 14% of the telephones were rotary and that they were "probably" elderly in rural areas. I don't know if that is the case, but I would guess that most non-collectors who have rotary phones are not technically or financially motivated to buy an Obi and use VOIP. Try dialing a star code with rotary (yes the phone companies support 11xx) but how many other services that accept touchtones like a bank?

15,739 reads in the year since I posted the original feature request. The jokes are entertaining but never the less there is a real interest in this feature. There are still a lot of devices out there other than antique phones that need pulse support. If Grandstream can do it Obihai can as well...
