Want to create your own retro phone system? Start here: ntck.co/3cxPhoneSystems
I’m setting up a retro phone system throughout my house to solve a simple problem: my family never answers my calls. Using 3CX, I’ll connect vintage phones in every room, making communication a little more fun and a lot harder to ignore. Plus, I’m integrating an AI voice assistant that we can interact with through the system. In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process and explore how practical (and cool) this setup can be.

🖥️ Raspberry Pi options:
Raspberry Pi 4: geni.us/mzJF55
Raspberry Pi 5: geni.us/z0BVIc
Here are the phones that I purchased and can verify work pretty well:
📱New phones:
Snom D735: geni.us/IZmO ($85) – A very solid option.
Fanvil X3SG: geni.us/oA1i ($69) – Very solid as well.
Yealink T54W: geni.us/GhUAAy ($150) – More expensive because it’s pretty and is a router phone.
Fanvil H2U: geni.us/WBGTg ($63) – compact and weird. Hotel-like, if you wanna go for that aesthetic.
☎️Old phones (requiring an ATA):
Sangyn Vintage Phone: geni.us/AxmFI4 ($35) – gorgeous. Probably my favorite. Feels solid.
TelPal Corded Wall Phone: geni.us/JZazPcI ($32) – INCREDIBLE. Put this sucker on a wall and you are in the 1970s. Feels very solid. My second favorite, comes in a variety of colors.
🔧 You’ll need an ATA (analog telephone adapter) for these old phones. I recommend this one:
Grandstream HT801: geni.us/TaZ7p
