A little while ago, some of my sharper-eyed viewers saw that my phone number was briefly displayed on screen. Since then, I've received calls from a few of you. And while I love meeting my fans... my mom is starting to worry because she can't get through to me on the phone anymore. So please-for my mom's sake-do me a favor and share your comments on my show page instead of calling? Thanks so much, guys!
Amazing project, one of my favorites! Some small European companies actually still make phones like that, for that exact purpose. Call it minimalism, call it social networking exile, don't know, but it's pretty cool nonetheless!
11:30 The reason you get an "extra" 13 (carriage return) is because that's what you typed and sent to the modem. AT followed by the enter key (which is 13 hex). So you get echoed back the AT, enter (13), followed by a carriage return (13) linefeed (10). Also if you are going to be ignoring all the echo's, you can just disable echo with AT E0 (enable with AT E1), the only real reason to have echo is to see what you typed if you're running a visual terminal console.
I was hoping for Part 2 this week, seen this one and I am not stupid or childish enough to take Ben's number and do anything with it. Part 2 please, and please be quick uploading it!!!
Hayes modem commands FTW. Btw, AT = "Attention" i.e. "I want you to do this instruction". Back in the BBS days you used to literally command your modem to talk to a BBS using nothing but a serial console and manually typed AT commands. ATD = Attention, Dial... ATA = attention, answer... ATH = attention, hang up... Etc... Cell modules still use the same commands decades later because it's a good standard. This is why the "Ring" looks like it does as it was designed for an actual human looking at a serial console on their Apple II
Zerkbern I sent him a text message on the number telling him he did not hide it >.< and before you ask no I will not share it. It's clear Ben wants to keep it private.
Late to the party, but I love this project. I own a smartphone only to have a mobile portfolio/small camera. It has no social media apps installed, and well, to be brutally honest, I have no friends, so texts are only from business numbers. The idea of a phone like is something that should come back, sure you can get a flip phone, but a basic BASIC phone is even better. The idea that modern phones detach people is frighteningly true, I see more people recording and taking photos instead of taking things in with what they were born with.
Beat you to it months ago, Ben ;) I built mine using a SIM9000 GSM, a mechanical keyboard (cherry keys) and a few other goodies. I wish I made a segment on it though... :( As always, AMAZING work Ben! Thank you for all that you do.
Nice project! Have you ever considered making one on the Banana Pi? I recently acquired one, but had some issues with things such as wifi, and was curious to see what you would do if you got one.
Thank you The Ben Heck Show for the information. I will try it because I've just lost my fulltime job and now only working 18 hours a week. Not enough to feed my 7 kids. So I will try you information while I'm looking for a full time job. Thank you again and all the best to you.
I remember more than a decade ago that I imagined that cell phones would end up being super small but in the end we went from the brick cell phone to the tile cell phone
Use a finite state machine to parse the AT commands. It's much easier than parsing it line by line. Specially if you want to handle timeouts. Even if you do it character by character you might end up with a long switch statement but it will be simpler code.
i love your show's thank you,, keep up the good work... what kind of schooling did you have ? am geting ready to go to college this fall i would love to do what you do,, thank you
Random question, Is the only way to control an arduino with a raspPi is using the raspPi usb port, or is there IO on the rasPi that can be used instead, I'd rather use my usb port for my battery then arduino.
Hey Ben! Would you mind making a tutorial on how you can send and receive data (ex. Internet, gps, messing, etc.) m using a GSM sim and raspberry pi 3? That would be awesome! Thanks
Here's an instructable for help: www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Convert-a-Laptop-LCD-into-an-External-Monit/ 15.6 makes me think it's newer style LVDS, and LED backlit. you're on your own there... but kits are sold to do just this.
Thanks, I have another question. So it needed something of the essence of an LCD converter or something. So I took apart an old LCD tv I own. It was too old for it to connect, but before I put it back together I wanted to go farther. So I took apart the LCD screen. There was those sheets and the black glass thing. At the very bottom there were these glass tubes. I, trying to disassemble it, broke a couple in the process. Can you tell me what these are?
Better than cellphone - i would like to see the "smart answering machine" for landline phone made by Ben. Debt collectors are really too much annoying with their calls, such device is more important for life.
Doing Office365/Azure support. We installed Android and WinCE (Windows Phone) in windows virtual machines. I used and iPod to replicate Apple iPhone problems.
Love the bloopers at the end, well, and the whole show. Yea, I'm a geek has been engineer too lol Love Allison. Show her number in part two lol just kidding .. maybe bwahahaha love you guys! Great team! And glad Felix is getting more screen time, oe, er, um more mentions at least
People if you've seen Ben's phone number in the last video, keep it to yourself, how would you like it if someone kept posting your number out after you tried to hide it?
I can't believe no one has taken a bunch of old phones taken out some parts and build their own tablets out of old cell phone and tablet parts I was thinking about building some sort of iPad out of a iPhone 6 soldering pieces into a old Android tablet with a nice screen resolution that would match and run iOS on it from the original processor and motherboard from the iPhone inside of the tablet chassis and see if I could basically just build a bigger iPhone 6 basically a iPad I can't believe no one has tried anything like this on UA-cam build a Frankenstein phone or tablet out of old phones
Honestly I would just change my phone number if I botched a video showing my number but I guess it's still good to pull the video and reedit the thing because phone numbers get re-used at some point.
I just found this link on Reddit and got so excited I had to make a comme I have a lot of your videos to watch, I am so excited to start. Subscribing now! I also just wanted to add that AT = Attention.
Apple smartphones sends 6MB of your data every day, and Android smartphones sends 12MB of your data every day. That's why your phone last 1day instead of 2 days on battery. Processing and sending data consumes battery, and your phone works hard to send everything you do or say near microphone.
I'm sure you know this but maybe a budding programmer or tinkerer is reading this. At 12:30 run it thru a split() function parsed on the commas. Zero based array index 1 will hold that battery percent value. MyArray[ ]=Split(mystring,",") iBatPerc = cInt(myarray[1])
Sorry Ben Heckendorm, Someones already done it with just a Rasperry Pi and a Screen and a SoundCard PiPhone - A Raspberry Pi based Smartphone From LMGN
Or... you could buy a Nokia 105... no camera, 70grams, 35 days of battery in stand by and for 20€. Way better option for a backup phone. This project is probably only good if you're interested in HOW cellphones work
+Alexcorpgaming the're quite known in The Netherlands... :-D, but the way, at the "Twilight Zone" time they are allready "Golden Earring" without the S... :-p
OMG please tell me that Nintendo shell on fire was an Adobe After effect :P #DontHurtNES
It was after effects,:) barnacules

FLIP, I WAS GONNA CALL YOU!
Ben, I wanna see you build the ultimate, Frankenstein smart phone; a sort of mix between the best smart phones on the market. That would be amazing.
608 area code, So you're around Madison Wisconsin?
ElPhantasamo Yes, he said that he's around a college named MATC or something
There are MATC branches all over, One is 8 miles from my house.

Awesome ring tone Ben. I like Golden Earring too!

I really enjoy watching your videos... Can you please tell me what is this program you are using as a terminal? Thanks :-)
Can't wait to see part two a second time ;)
Repost to blur his phone number
whan did it occur? where is it blurred?
Yamahapsr200 8:23

Madrox42125 OK THX I got it ;)
I was going to say "What the f***?! I already watched this!!". Thank you for clearing that out. :)
Zerkbern I sent him a text message on the number telling him he did not hide it >.< and before you ask no I will not share it. It's clear Ben wants to keep it private.

Deja Vu?
What programming language would he use for this project?
What college course did you take to learn how to do this stuff?
Give this man an oscar
I remember more than a decade ago that I imagined that cell phones would end up being super small but in the end we went from the brick cell phone to the tile cell phone
Intro was freakin hilarious!
Nice lecture, not the solid dry dust. Just the much it needs to get hooked :-)
What programming language does he use ?

i love your show's thank you,, keep up the good work...
what kind of schooling did you have ? am geting ready to go to college this fall i would love to do what you do,, thank you
.Where do you get your supplies?
Good I am glad he got my message about his phone number
It isn't like his number isn't out there, but the youtube crowd does weird stuff
Antinull I'll say. Who uses a cell phone for talking these days? Mine has an unlimited data plan and about 30 minutes of voice a month ;)
Inb4chan, what are you doing outside of watchat?
DerPinguin44 uh.....
Random question, Is the only way to control an arduino with a raspPi is using the raspPi usb port, or is there IO on the rasPi that can be used instead, I'd rather use my usb port for my battery then arduino.
How dare you set a NES case on fire??? especially as white as that one!!!
What program did you use?
Why was this reposted?
I tried to build a phone like that and it sends every picture i take to the white house phone number ... i think that is a bug.
Your pre-video acting. :D Its still the only reason why I watch your videos.
Where can i find the code for the project
Wt software do you use?@13:00?
So then it is impossible to make an international call, since it is limited to 10 digits?
Sir just a few words : YOU ARE A REAL Mc GYVER.
What's that terminal app he was using?
I think it is this one hw-server.com/terminal-terminal-emulation-program-rs-232 - I downloaded and it looked about right
I am pretty sure it is Bray++: terminalbpp
DO u have a school this stuff is awesome
Ben still uses a Galaxy Nexus! Awesome!
Hello, thank you. Have a nice day!
Hey Ben! Would you mind making a tutorial on how you can send and receive data (ex. Internet, gps, messing, etc.) m using a GSM sim and raspberry pi 3? That would be awesome! Thanks
Why do you parse the echo? Just do AT E0 on startup!
Use one of those flashy bling antennas that flash, you know, back like in 2000 everyone wanted them.
Can anyone recommend a FONA module for the Verizon Network? We don't have any T-Mobile coverage out here.
Hey Ben, I have an old laptop screen, 15.6 inches. I want to turn it into a monitor for my desktop. Any suggestions?
Here's an instructable for help: www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Convert-a-Laptop-LCD-into-an-External-Monit/
15.6 makes me think it's newer style LVDS, and LED backlit. you're on your own there... but kits are sold to do just this.

At the very bottom there were these glass tubes. I, trying to disassemble it, broke a couple in the process. Can you tell me what these are?
Sorta guessed it. I broke all of them.
Can you build a touch screen phone and a I pod touch please
Better than cellphone - i would like to see the "smart answering machine" for landline phone made by Ben. Debt collectors are really too much annoying with their calls, such device is more important for life.
I love the Nintendo Burning in the Background x3
You know you usually can turn of echo with an AT command right? ATE0 if i remember correctly..
Doing Office365/Azure support. We installed Android and WinCE (Windows Phone) in windows virtual machines. I used and iPod to replicate Apple iPhone problems.
Should try making a cell like a flagship one into an retro computer with some way of GPu expansion and unknown
Is it strange that for people whose numbers I know, I actually dial their number because it's easier than finding the contact?
Wait does Ben reside in the 608? La Crosse Area represent!
Madison, if its any different, lol.
where can i buy the parts for this ?
www.element14.com
+The Ben Heck Show like always
With this wouldn't you have to pay a payment for using the phone o board
does anybody know how can i mod a 90's motorola microTAC to use it again? i really want to use one of those bricks these days
Does any one know where to find the source code and circuit diagram??
Thank You
Anyone capable to make the schematics for this as a single compact pcb?
It would be way cooler (a better memory of the good old phones) if you have left that antenna! :)
next time please go into the actual programming.....i would love to see that
Why was there a box on fire
But can it call cursed numbers?
Love the bloopers at the end, well, and the whole show. Yea, I'm a geek has been engineer too lol Love Allison. Show her number in part two lol just kidding .. maybe bwahahaha love you guys! Great team! And glad Felix is getting more screen time, oe, er, um more mentions at least
why can we not use clip on batteries for our smartphones
It's about time you upgrade that Galaxy Nexus :)
RADAR LOVE ? ring tone ? Ben ? form the golden earings ? nice
Ah, good old fashion Hayes commands!
THE FIRE WAS NOT CG?!?!?!??!
If you go through the trouble to build your own cell phone, it HAS to have a pull out antenna!
I would like to kmow how to make a remote starter
People if you've seen Ben's phone number in the last video, keep it to yourself, how would you like it if someone kept posting your number out after you tried to hide it?
would u b paying monthly for that sim card.
It is so underpowered and incapable... Yet so innovative.
Little did he know that the galaxy note was a commercially available bomb
Alyson was awesome.
A-am I... a time traveller, s-senpai?!
I can't believe no one has taken a bunch of old phones taken out some parts and build their own tablets out of old cell phone and tablet parts I was thinking about building some sort of iPad out of a iPhone 6 soldering pieces into a old Android tablet with a nice screen resolution that would match and run iOS on it from the original processor and motherboard from the iPhone inside of the tablet chassis and see if I could basically just build a bigger iPhone 6 basically a iPad I can't believe no one has tried anything like this on UA-cam build a Frankenstein phone or tablet out of old phones

Caption is "reuse bluetooth from cell phone" but I didn't find any such info..
Again this upload i already have seen this.
I bet the command to answer the call coming in is ath1 to pick up the line and ath0 to hang up
You burned a nintendo D:
only the case
rokinskis11 still, cant remakes those. also if you look closely theres something burning behind the case, neat effect ^-^
***** Maybe he 3D printed it
no it would be to expensive to burn it i think
next time burn a sega genesis, nintendo will become a huge company and its products will take over the world, ha ha ha -Brain
Ben, your eyes freaked out at about 4:44
I just found this link on Reddit and got so excited I had to make a comme I have a lot of your videos to watch, I am so excited to start. Subscribing now!
I also just wanted to add that AT = Attention.

iBatPerc = cInt(myarray[1])
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
I love your show :D but unfortunately I can not always follow you because my english is very bad :/
Did anyone actually save his number?
Yup i did
Ave666 What is it?
i dont want to get banned jut pm me
ben could ban me from his channel for sharing his phone number dumbass
Ave666 Wait, really?
When the... LADY SMILES!!! Love the dutch classics ;P
We need a cell that does not require cell provider
Don't feel bad ben I have all my computer passwords taped to the screen.
Help I'm slipping into the twilight zone! Great ringtone!
So... No 911 calls???
Sorry Ben Heckendorm,
Someones already done it with just a Rasperry Pi and a Screen and a SoundCard PiPhone - A Raspberry Pi based Smartphone
From
LMGN
Communicate using cereal :D
Or... you could buy a Nokia 105... no camera, 70grams, 35 days of battery in stand by and for 20€. Way better option for a backup phone. This project is probably only good if you're interested in HOW cellphones work
dude its called diy for a reason
Doing a DIY is much more interesting than buying a professionaly made phone....
Ngl dude, no shit. I see you guys on z80 computer videos too, yeah it's not good, but it's diy for a reason, like shit.
make cell phone jammer
Hahahaha Twilight Zone by Golden Earnings XD Glad someone aside me knows them!
+Alexcorpgaming the're quite known in The Netherlands... :-D, but the way, at the "Twilight Zone" time they are allready "Golden Earring" without the S... :-p
Alexcorpgaming Yes, one of the best thing coming from my little country :)
