I would recommend it to others wanting to use a dial telephone on a VoIP system-with one caveat-use it on one phone at a time. Overall, I am pleased with the Dialgizmo. Dialgizmo was not advertised for use on more than one telephone at a time, so it does actually function properly as advertised. That got a little tiresome, so I am just using it on one telephone instrument. I was able to correct this by unplugging the Dialgizmo from the modem output port and immediately plugging it back in. I got my Dialgizmo to work that way, but once a day at least, it caused my phone line to give off a 'busy' or 'engaged' signal.

Your old phone may not ring as loudly as you recall. What I mean is that when you dial a digit, you need to wait a second-the Dialgizmo converts the dial tones to a beep, like a touch tone.
When using the device to dial, timing is important.

Just make sure that you have an AT&T jack that is actually set up for a phone! These days everyone uses a cell phone so the household phone jacks might not be connected, as I found out. The unit is very small and doesn't get in the way at all.
No problem to install-just plug the cable from the phone into the device, and plug the device into the jack. Looking for easy connectivity with little downtime to get right to your. If you want to watch digital broadcasts on an analog television, then a digital-analog converter box may be just what you need. I was able to use this to dial with my old Western Electric 500 from the 1950s and my old Princess probably from the 1960s. RCA Digital TV Converter Box Remote Control.
