    Will the phone work with an Xlink BT device or does it need an actual landline?

    We have not tested with Xlink in-house but we have heard of other customers use with their phones with success.

    Is there a diagram available for the 8-pin setup on the keypad? Trying to figure out which pins are ROWS and COLUMNS.

    Unfortunately, we don't have that information for the keypad.

    When ordering, can we get a specific version of a phone (IE: Chrome coin bank door with the coin return on the left)?

    Administrator
    Jul 23, 2024, 09:34 AM

    These model phones normally have the coin return on the left. Vault doors are scarce nowadays so we usually keep the door it comes with which would be either black or chrome.

    Is it possible to adjust the ringer volume? I plan on using this phone indoors in my restaurant. Thank you!

    Can this be used like a normal landline home phone?

    Administrator
    Jun 18, 2024, 09:39 AM

    Yes, The phone can be used as a normal phone but the new standard phone lines are limited to VOIP which can cause issues working with the older technology of the payphone.

    Purchased the payphone for home use as a present for my boyfriend's 40th Birthday. He was STOKED to say the least! It works and we use it as our home land line now in the pool room. It was clean, new phone handle and you can still add change to it as a piggy bank as we are doing currently. Arrived well packaged and very quickly. Highly recommend the back plate. Made it very easy to put up. Worth every cent!

    I love the phone and it looks great. I paid for the extra but very disappointed that the piece where you hang up the phone doesn't pop back up when you pick up the phone handled and I paid to have it reburshed and able to use. For that reason I would be cautious and concerned that it was not tested properly before sent to me. If that worked it would be a 5 star and would probably buy additional products.

    Hello John, We're sorry the phone did not work out the box but we can definitely get it working for you it sounds like the keypad is the issue and we can gladly get you a replacement keypad since your are still in the warranty period. Please give us a call at 1-800-884-4835

    This payphone is the real deal. It weighs almost 50lbs. Just plug it in to your existing phone line and it starts working. I would highly reccomend this payphone to someone that wants the real thing.
