ringing.
device has answered the phone.
phone that it has been answered, because the voltage has gone down.
are the same. I have also used a rectifier that is a 2 amp 400v SIP 2KBP04M-1.
like to get this circuit working. Can anyone tell me why its not working.
There's a lot wrong with that circuit, but as an experiment add a small (10uf or less) electrolytic from the base of Q2 to ground, then ring your phone to see if it works.
Then, when you've got it working or not, remove it from the phone line and use the parts for something else. It is not "phone company friendly" nor are the parts properly V rated.
