Do you need anyother equipment to operate other than Sype acct? Can you receive and call landlines ?

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.

I have not used this product to call other skype accounts or received any calls on this skype phone. This skype phone is used primarily to call family and friends on landlines to a specific foreign country. I was not able to make calls to cellphones to that country.

All you need is a high speed internet connection and a Skype Account (annual subscription). You can call landlines and cell phones and with a Skype assigned telephone number you can receive calls from landlines and cell phones.

No other equipment was needed. This phone is great because you can connect to Skype, but also plug a landline in at the same time so you can either Skype or make landline calls without having to do anything. I've had great luck with the reception and am quite happy with the phone.

Yes you can, but the base unit uses a landline, these are not cell phones. Hope this helps.

Your phone will ring with either incoming land or Skype calls. You can choose how to make outgoing calls in the setup. Be advised that, in my case at least, I lost call display on my incoming land line calls using this device. Support claimed it should work in my area (Canada using Bell as a provider). It didn't. They even replaced the unit but no luck.

It needs a landline for set up and operation. It can call out alarms to any other landline or cell phone. You can call in from any type phone.

No you need to have a VOIP service such as Ringcentral or Jive communications.

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 can use a cell phone adapter with your cell phone. So, you don't have to have a landline.

I don't believe it needs any special connection, just a land line. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, it's been awhile since I had this.

I have bought several of these and none have come pre-configured with a land line. They are very configurable for various VOIP services. We have our own Head end VOIP co-managed service through our local phone provider which makes it easier to get phone extensions since we have a designated block of numbers made available to us. I don't recall the name but there is a VIOP service provider that advertises on TV that appears to be using the same device.

Yes, you do need a landline so the alarm will dial your number in the event it goes off. It can call a cell phone but it needs the landline to do so since there is no internal wireless system set up to directly dial a cell phone.

I have been using the unit for about a year . You can access a VOIP OR Landline but I have not found a way to bridge the two calls together

If I am understanding your question you want to know if you can connect with a old landline. Yes, it works with just an ordinary phone line. The additional phone only needs an outlet and no phone line to work. It receives it's information from the main phone base. If you however mean that you have no landline and want to know if you can use them without phone service the answer is no, you must have service.

No this is a regular phone so you'll need a voicemail service or answering machine (if they still exist).

Connie, I think you do need a land line, unless you have a cell phone with a phone line input (I've never seen one) that you can dedicate to the Freeze Control and way to keep the phone charged.

do you mind me asking what system you bought that did NOT come with the answering system? i just hooked up to vonage, and i need something with lots(4) of handsets, but no answering machine. Any advice would be great! Thanks so Much!

If you want it to dial it you need a land line.but you can install it without the land line

Yes- all you have to do is get a line splitter where you may have another phone plugged in. No special equipment needed. If you contact their suport they will answer every question you have- they were the absolute best- and they don't quit until they are satisfied that you have enough info.
