I'm not very tech savvy, but I'm hoping someone is willing to help me here:
is there such a thing as a device for hooking your mobile phone up to any old regular 'old fashioned' land line phone set so you can pretend you have a regular old land line when you're at home? is there just no demand/plausibility for this device?
I have particularly little hope because my dream is to hook my mobile phone up to a rotary phone. tell me I can put this fantasy to sleep. or alternatly: dazzle me the inane possibilities of our modern science fiction wonder land!

It's not happening. Cellular and land-line phones work on different signal types.
yeah that makes sense. ok thanks.

True . . . but anything is possible. It would certainly require taking both apart and rewiring everything. But what you would have was a cell phone that reside din a rotary phone casing. Not sure if that's worth the work unless you wanted to do it as some sort of project.
Wiring up the rotary phone to work with Skype may be an even better bet.

I assume that would take some serious doing, especially if you wanted the rotary dial to enter a compatible signal into the cellphone, seems like it would be a project that might call for a patent at the end... and I'm the kind of guy who's technical skill with electronics ends with a few well placed slaps to the sides of the tv when it acts up... the much more simple solution I guess is to just pay for a landline.

I found something last year for sim cards:
Do you mean something like this but where you connect the rotary phone to the cell phone?
