I would love to have this in my home! Adam Ben-Dror took a classic candlestick-style phone and made it cordless. It's completely functional, thanks to parts that he acquired from a company that specializes in restoring old phones and converting them into modern ones.

Actually candlestick phones DID have a ringer, but it was usually contained on a separate box that the phone would be plugged into. Otherwise the phones would have been useless since no one would be able to call you.

Kealani, how would you know if someone is trying to call?

I've got an original plugged into my living room. It works fine. Of course, like all candlesticks of it's age it wasn't manufactured with a bell to ring. This is my favorite feature because it never pesters me. I say if it's not broken don't fix it.

Cool. I am assumming that the ring sounds like a modern cordless phone. It would be nice if it sounded like the old fsshion phones.
