Dialing a number from an iphone through an analog phone

Projects General Guidance

Hi every one

I am thinking about a school project, but i am not sure if it is fesable at all, any suggestions are wolcome.
What i am trying to do, is to connect my iphone to an old rotary phone, and trying to dial a number from the rotary phone. The call is of cours going through my mobile phone.

I know that it is possible to convert pulses from the rotary phone, and read them from an arduino. i know also that you can control an arduino with an iphone, by a cable or by bluetouth.

But is it possible to call a number from a rotary phone, and make the iphone recognisiing it ? .. any ideas / suggestions ?

Split your project into two parts.

The part you seem not to know is whether, when you connect an Arduino to your IPhone the Arduino can cause the IPhone to dial a number provided by the Arduino.

I can't afford an IPhone but I'm pretty sure you can do that with an Android phone so it is likely to be possible with an IPhone. However, how you do that is beyond the scope of the Arduino Forum.

If you can figure out how to do the IPhone stuff we can probably help with the other stuff.

and make the iphone recognisiing it

You need to explain that in a little more depth. A rotary phone can make a phone call thru a telephone system to an iphone and establish an audio connection. What are you desiring to accomplish over this connection?

look for event based dialing apps for the iphone and methods of making a bluetooth connection between the arduino and the iphone.
