    Phone time checks seem like an anachronism today, our phones and computers are synched with highly accurate time servers. But many communities still have local time-and-temperature numbers, usually sponsored by a local business. The NIST supports a time check number at 303-499-7111, and the US Naval Observatory has one at 202-762-1401.

    2. Jot down the new number so you don’t forget it while you dial. 3. Dial the complete number — the first two letters and the numeral of the prefix, then the four other figures. For example, to call NAtional 2-3104, first dial N-A-2… then 3-1-0-4. Direct Distance Dialing starts for NAtional 2 customers with 1- or 2-party service.

    What I need from the forum is a crisp scan of a blank "Wait For Dial Tone" card with no number in the center and approximate size of 460 x 460 pixels (see picture below). If any member have this as well as say 2 or 3 other "standard" number cards they would like to see, I can start there, and we can all see where version 1.0 of this software goes.

  7. Can anyone still dial a code number to make your own phone ring

    Here in Southern California the ringback method has morphed over time. Long ago, when it was SxS in Pacific Tel, ringback for everybody was simply 1156. Later, when Crossbar and ESS were in vogue, ringback (in my area) was the unused prefix 251 plus the last 4 digits of my phone number.

    So, if one puts a printed number card in the punch upside down, one can adjust the paper in the punch to get a perfect punched out number card every time. Here's my punch used for WE number cards (still need to notch it for the number card holder being used).

    This is the second time in one week (other time was for 2554s) that it has been suggested that the ringer be connected across L1 and L2 without a capacitor. This is not correct for any common battery phone, whether dial or manual.. Looks like the WE is wired with a capacitor in the circuit for a two wire so it works.

    At the same time, I would see the same seller listing a complete number card holder assembly priced more than the phone, in some cases. 5 to 10 years ago, people were selling packages of 6 to 12 holders on eBay for a dollar or two each.

    Wrong firmware. Wrong phone number. Bad board. Bad keypad. This may or may not work on a VOIP line it just depends how the phone company has the line set up. Copper is the best land line. Good luck I will try and answer questions when I get time. I am busy running a phone company. Jim
