I had this conversion done a couple of months or so back and I can confirm that my vintage bell phones still ring and receive incoming calls without problems. What they will no longer do is dial out, on trying to do so you just get the female voice saying "oops etc."

Good to hear the OP has now solved their problem

As the OP has now resolved this issue, I'm closing this thread.
