Hi Radu, are you shure that the level of the Siemens in input is TTL? I suppose that should be CMOS level, and probably you need a level converter. I think that the two diode and the resistor is not sufficient, but if you say sometimes work... Do you have the same ground for the PIC and the telephone?
