No. The standard phone service thats been around since I guess the 1960's (wall jacks) is referred to as land line. As long as your internet service provider (which can be a cable tv company) offers VOIP service, with a VOIP modem & router your incoming & outgoing calls are madel thru your internet service. If your utilities go out, your internet & phone won't work. BEFORE you buy the motorola: Ask your internet service company if there Internet VOIP service works with this motorola. If not, they have one they will charge you monthy charges. So again, no you do not need land line (wall outlet) phone carrier service. Hope this helps.

I believe so. I have MediaCom now. I had Vonage. To use Mediacom's phone service, I had to have this modem with DOCSIS 3.0. If you only want VOIP, you can do that just from your computer over the internet. Examples include Skype and Google Voice. DOCSIS is for media provider that give you the local service connection like a landline does.

Yes, but the phone does not work if you are calling into most business phones where you need to respond w phone options

It will work with VOIP...but I don't think VOIP is mandatory. It should also work fine with a normal land line.

You need software or a service to make this IP phone work. Including an Internet connection where the phone is to be. For a single business you can use your own phones/cell phones with a service like evoice.com or ringcentral.com

No this is for delivering Dial Tone only... It need a internet modem to function and an VOIP provider.. If you need help call

Yes. I use both MagicJack and Nettalk (VoIP's) with no problem. Have no land line. Connect a phone line first to the unit, then from the unit's ext. phone slot to your phone. Set up the '340 priority mode as to Telephone, Fax, Both, etc.

Yes. You only need to hooked up the base unit to the phone line. It works well.

That's actually two different questions. The answer to the first is no. The answer to the second is yes, depending on your VOIP server and configuration capabilities.

Not exactly. You need to have a software and hardware able to handle and route Phone Calls Over IP (VoIP) via SIP Trunking. We do offer the Elastix NLX-Mini UCS which is an excellent tool you can plug to your network and have your phones ready to make and receive calls. We will be glad to help!

It is not connected over VOIP. This device is basically a cell phone in a box. It is possible that your cellular phone has poor reception or has reception problems. Or just that the home phone device has a better antenna.

Yes they do. Here's a list I found on the web of providers they work with: http://www.whichvoip.com/voip-phone/ip-phone-price.htm Usually just need to download a configuration script so they work with the provider.

I would think so, but I don't have telephone service. It works great for internet though.
598675
yes, unless you are going to use a computer or internet for making your calls, this does need to plug in to work.

I don't have vonage but I have Comcast voip, it does work. But remember when backup sump goes to work is when you house power is out, so most likely, router and vonage won't be working either, but when its up running the minder call out works great... I am sure LAN line has its limitations and may not work either.

Yes, a phone line is required in order for the system to dial out. My recommendations would be simple talk, vonage or Verizon's home phone connect.
