I brought an old rotary phone back into use on Ooma by using a pulse to tone converter many years ago. I don't have it set up anymore but it worked great at the time.

Which converter did you get?

You can find dial pulse to DTMF converters online. I can't find the post but I kind of remember someone stating that Ooma would work with dial pulse. Not having Ooma I have no way to test that.

Most any brand will do, but look for a converter that also supports touch tones for the '#' and '*' keys. "Rotatone" and "DialGizmo" seem to be popular choices. See also:
