I was wondering if anyone has attempted this before. I have looked online and found surprisingly little. We wanted to make a phone prop that would be attached to an Arduino and WAV board. It's a push-button phone, and it seems to have 8 leads for the keypad, which is a 3x4. The receiver has 4 leads, 2 for mic and 2 for voice. I believe there is a magneto assembly which "rings" the phone when it receives a call. Thinking maybe to attach a battery to operate everything, and program various numbers which would then play a message through the receiver. Was also thinking of adding a remote button, that when pressed it would make the phone ring to play a specific message(s) as well. Anyone have any experience on the wiring side of doing such a thing?
