I talked to my local Bell guy and he said 5 watts would be allowed (my grandmother can't hear at all, along with other people i know and this would be handy) Please send it via mail, as i don't check this out to often. Thanks John Winters, from DA WELL This would only work if you were on the same mechanical exchange. If you had to go over any trunk, or had a new electronic exchange, it would be for naught. It would be fine to put the amplifier on your grandmothers phone, and you can rather cheaply buy amplified handsets, so you dont have to haywire things. (besides that would work when other people called her too.)
