Do you need a land line? Will an internet phone line work?

You need a phone line, but it does not have to be a "land line". I am using AT&T;'s wireless home system and it works fine. Should also work with VOIP

I initially had a land line. Last week I set up a Ooma phone (VOIP), and it did call out the alarm to the three designated numbers. I was able to cancel the call out during that call. So far, the only thing that is a little less reliable is if you call into the alarm during an alarm situation. It took several times to get that to work. I am satisfied with its functionality on the Ooma phone. I did install a power back up system for the phone set, router and Ooma station. So it should work during an outage for long enough to send out the call--unless cable is down too.

The phone line has to work during a power outage. Most internet phones will not.

the device has an analog phone connector. If you had something that would convert that to an IP phone then it probably would work.

Don't really know. It dials out like a standard telephone, so if a standard phone works on your line, this device will, too.

Not sure if a internet phone line will work, but keep in mind that you have to have a phone jack within about 12' of where you plan to have your sensor and keypad to plug into. The best people to ask is Control Products Inc out of Chanhassen, Minnesota (Phone# 952-448-2217 Daytime hours). They sold me mine!JLG

Hi Beccalee. If you can plug and use a standard phone into your internet phone system, then this should work. By "standard phone", I mean a phone that you would buy at any retailer that is made to install into a phone company RJ-11 jack.

The landline use will only require high speed internet connection. If Verizon provides you with your internet service; then the answer is yes! However, if you are talking of Verizon as in your telephone voice service provider- the answer is no! You DO NOT need any other phone service for you to use the device as your landline service.. Remember this is a VOIP device.. thus Voice Over Internet Protocol .. you will be having your phone service through the internet... I hope this helps!

The phones will work without a landline as long as they are connected by Bluetooth to a cell phone. I've been happy with mine so far.

You have to have a land line. They said they are working on the unit to be able to call cell phone. The system works well other than that

Yes it will work with a land line but you will need a noise adapter that you can buy a Walmart. Hope this helps

ACTUALLY, NO! You could use VoIP instead of a landline. Get an OBI box, compatible with Google Voice (create an account and get a phone number in your area code) and connect to your phone and then to your router. Turns a landline phone into a VoIP phone and uses your ethernet router to place calls. No landline required.

You do not need a landline, just a cell tower signal. Read the info on this DB Pro...it says it works with most cell services I think. My service is Verizon.

You only need to plug it to a source of Internet (RJ45 plug) and to a land line (RJ11 or RJ12 plug) and yes of course you can call and receive calls to the land line on this phone. Great product trust me.

No, you do not need a landline for this phone. It works via your computer and WIFI router. If you wanted a second line for your home this would also work. This is a Skype phone. We also have Skype on our IPAD so we are able to have visual calls with our grandson. The cost per month is $10.00 regardless of how many domestic or International Calls you place. The sound is very clear.

It does need a dedicated phone line. The way around it is to use one of those little splitters. Plug it into your phone jack, then use one for the phone line, another one for the faxes. Or you can install an extra phone jack next to the existing one (if you know how).

You don't *need* to use the phone feature. It's optional. But it does need a landline. Cell phones will not work.

You do NOT need a land line to use this system. We don't have a land line. You will see a message on the handsets (on the bottom of the display) that reads "Check tel line." Just ignore that. You can connect 2 blue-tooth cell phones.

No. This device connects to your internet router, creating a circuit for your regular land line telephone to plug into. Skype has it's own application and/or browser plug-in, and doesn't need this device. I use Callcentric as the virtual telephone company. Pay as you go and much cheaper than other offerings.

The base unit requires a phone jack connection to a land line. Therefore use must have a land line for this unit to work.
