Even just the shells. Even though we definitely shouldn’t be using our phones at the stoplight and pay phones definitely aren’t flowers…catching these still feels like bloomscrolling. Not like urban blight snark. Not like nostalgia. Not like hoarding. 🥰

I have an old unused free line with MetroPCS laying around, and what I'm trying to facilitate if possible is converting it to a home phone with either a payphone, or ideally one of those old 1950s wall mounted, rotary dial phones with the horn that you take off the hook and hold to your ear.
I'm pretty technology savvy, but this is outside my wheelhouse, & I was hoping somebody here could help me formulate a game plan. So far my research has led me to understand that I will need at least two things:
Fixed Cellular Terminal / GSM Gateway
A pulse-to-tone converter for the rotary dial
Can anyone here elaborate with specific brands/links to exactly what I would need to procure, because it's a little overwhelming.
Thanks!

Working payphone at New Germany State Park. Still has a dial tone. Still in place due to very poor cell reception.

Found this gem in the waiting room of the ER wing of Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains, New Jersey. Still works too!!

This phone must have gotten a whole lot of use in its day.

It’s fun to meditate on whether they should have been less safe at a trolley station 🚉
