I figure breaking open a $2 phone is a waste of time if you can make a circuit with 6 parts to do the job. plus... when you get sick of that $2 phone, you can plug in a new one, instead of taking another sunday afternon with you soldering iron to modify your new treasure.<BR/><BR/>have you used skype yet? i'm interested to see what the quality is. if you get it up and running, either on the ol pc with mic and speaker or your hack-mo-job yard sale phone, give me a call (on my cell) so I can hear it.k2hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171968118329398960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328362.post-1147843591558042872006-05-16T22:26:00.000-07:002006-05-16T22:26:00.000-07:00DUDE, i just bookmarked that schematic! after rea...DUDE, i just bookmarked that schematic! after reading about skype opening up comp to phone in USA for free, it's had me thinking.<BR/><BR/>i've been wondering how to hack up my old 900mhz phones (I had one, and then bought another for 2$ at a yard sale for the battery - as it turns out the guts of both phones are the same Uniden insides, with the moterola transmitter chip.... anyways)<BR/><BR/>check out <A HREF="http://www.grynx.com/index.php/projects/siemens-skype/2/#So,_how_did_I_do_it_" REL="nofollow">this</A> and <A HREF="http://www.grynx.com/projects/build-your-own-chat-cord/2/" REL="nofollow">this</A> to go along with the article - which he just tapped into the speaker phone portion of - my phones have no speaker phone part.... so i guess i'll start fishing.forkevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612851807551897769noreply@blogger.com
