A basic analogue telephone is a simple, traditional landline phone that connects to a telephone network using an analogue signal. It is designed for voice communication and typically includes:

• A handset (with microphone)

• A dialing keypad (or rotary dial on older models)

• A ringer to alert incoming calls

• A base unit that connects to the telephone line

How It Works:

• When you dial a number, the phone sends electrical signals (analog pulses or DTMF tones) to the telephone exchange.

• The exchange routes the call to the recipient’s phone.

• The ringer activates when an incoming call arrives.

• The microphone converts voice into electrical signals, and the speaker converts received signals back into sound.

Features:

• Works with POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines

• No power required for basic operation (except for additional features like caller ID)

• Can be used with VoIP adapters for digital communication
