Re-create a piece of history for your home with the Payphone Conversion Kit Designed to fit most GTE/Quadrum Style Payphones, the G-Tel PP-Kit is used to convert your payphone to a coin-less analog telephone for home use. Payphones represent a less complicated and slower-paced lifestyle of a bygone era. Sadly, today’s children will never know the joy of finding a quarter in the coin return of a payphone but they can experience the novelty of having a payphone in their home.

Hi, I am getting a dialtone, and i'm able to dial out without a problem. However, when I call the phone number there is no RING coming from the speaker. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?
Jul 1, 2024, 09:55 AMsounds like it could be a bad handset.

What do the dip switches do on the unit? I’m guessing handset volume and ringer volume? Which is which?
Jun 19, 2024, 10:02 AMBoth are for the Volume of the handset. Top switches for the speaker and Bottom for the microphone.

- Nicholas JevneFeb 13, 2023, 11:00 AMI had a phone that had all of it's internal parts removed except the handset. This "payphone conversion kit" got this phone working again. Now it's a great conversation piece and anyone can make a call on it now. Thanks for having such a variety of items to get these old phones working again.G-Tel EnterprisesDec 6, 2025, 11:46 AM**Thanks Nicholas we love hearing from our customers and thanks for taking the time to post such a great review for our G-Tel Family***
- Wiley WestAug 12, 2021, 11:00 AMThe key pad was easy to install and worked great. I did take a bell ringer out of an desk phone and it works with the conversion kit too. **Thank you for the awesome review. We are glad that this install was not complicated and great idea on the bell ringer*****
