[GreenKeys] O/T - 24v to 48v POTS Telco converter for added ring?

[E.]

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the info!  My phone company still supports pulse dialing since it was once an independent bell and is still POTS ;p (still have callback also ^^ !).  I can see where this will help with the pulse going though the call blocker, but what about the bells?  That’s the thing I’m hurting the most about, since it’s what wakes up the whole house when there’s a phone call ;p .  Form what I have gathered - the lower voltage caused by the call blocker (it’s down stepping for whatever reason) is not enough to ring the bell.  I’m assuming that since this is designed to work with VoIP, that it will also ring the bell on it as well(???)?

> Hey all you Telco guys - need some help!  So I’ve just bought a call blocker for my POTS.  Normally at my deck, I have an Automatic Electric model 80 (rotary) here and it has always worked great on my phone line.  Hooked it up today to the phone blocker and welp, the bell won’t ring and it won’t really dial out.  Measured voltage on the phone side of the call blocker and it measures 24v, unlike the 48v going in :/ .  Question… would the unit in the link below be the cure-all to this low voltage blues?:
