Are you using a transformer to step up the ring voltage? If so, connect
the secondary winding "on top" of the 12V rail so that you have 12Vdc
with the ring voltage riding on top of it. The phone hangs between the
free end of the tx sec and a 1K resistor that goes back to 0V. The
junction of the phone/1K goes via a 10K to a 10u bipolar capacitor
which feeds the base of an NPN transistor via a signal diode...
Oh crud, this is too hard to explain... Here's a quick drawing !  :-)
Regards...
