I only know a little about the UK phone system, i think the on hook voltage is around 48vDC, the ring voltage is about 100v AC @ 20hz, the off hook voltage is 10-15v. I wanted to try the circuit below to see if it would answer the phone but just wanted to check thats its okay. The opto-isolator is tripped with the ring signal into temporarily loading the line with the 330 ohm resistor making the telephone company think its been picked up. Once the ring stops the resistor is unloaded and the line goes dead... at least thats what i think would happen?
Thanks in advance for any info.
