I know someone who put a private GSM cellular base station in their attic just so that their collection of retro phones would work. I suppose that's an option.

I suppose that's an option. I think the FCC lets you do it without a license below a certain wattage.
- acjohnson55 2y agoThat's pretty sweet. What kind of hardware is necessary for this?
- LeoPanthera 2y agoI have no idea. I wonder if you could do it with some kind of SDR radio, these days.
- ranger_danger 2y agofor 2G GSM you could
- wkat4242 2y agoLook up Osmocom, that project is the software side but their site has a lot of details on hardware too.
- userbinator 2y agoI think that's technically illegal but more of a "if you transmit on licensed spectrum but no one can hear it but you, does it still count?" situation.
- wkat4242 2y agoHere in Europe the DECT guard band is often used for this and i think it's not illegal. About the US no idea but they have the 915 band right?
