dial up? what are the local numbers? just wondering if there are a list of local dialup numbers...

Hi--I'm considering getting this for my mom and dad in Maui--Do you know if the toll free number is good here too?
856605
Perhaps a list of those areas without local service would be best. I am thinking of ordering it for family in a rural area that usually falls into the 'small percentage' category.

A list of coverage by area code + prefix combinations is the best way to know for sure -- but this list is exceedingly long, as you might imagine. During initial setup, the HP Printing Mailbox contacts Presto Service with a toll-free call and then receives a local dial-up number for daily calls into the service to receive new messages. Presto has local [no toll] service access for all but a very small percentage of the US phone network

I'm in Hawai'i and the customer service people at Presto set my Printing Mailbox up to use a toll-free dialup number.
856608
It is my understanding that this device receives calls from presto and does not do the calling. Therefore no charge to the user for phone calls. Very similar to sending a fax to someone.

There are no out going numbers needed, This is a system to receive emails, not send them! Any working phone line will suffice.

Actually, the Printing Mailbox dials out. And so far, anyone who has a problem with not having a local dial up number has been switched to a toll-free number.Hope this helps,Peter RadsliffPresto CEO

I can't get a straight answer out of the Presto people on this. This would be perfect for my dad, but he lives out in the middle of nowhere and almost anything is a toll call. (that's one of the main reasons he doesn't have a computer and a dial-up account) If the Presto calls an 800 number to pick up mail, no problem. But if he's looking at toll charges on top of the cost of the printer and the monthly fee, that's a problem.Anybody know for sure?

I did choose my local area code. I do not know whether it works or not if you do not input an area code. Thanks.

Would not recommend this USB modem, it has no instructions or clues as to how to use it other than it specifically acts as a dial-up modem for Internet access and for fax/data applications via a land telephone line (includes the telephone cord for connecting the same). You said you have a "modem wire" - suggesting you already have a modem and thus no need for an external modem. Maybe you need a USB connector, not a modem? Best to due more research for your specific need.

As well as Magic Jack, LocalPhone is another great option (just add .com to find them). I use it all the time to make calls.

No it does not, it's not a dial up modem. If u r looking for dial up modem then go for US Robotics modem, may be from 1995 era. U will never go wrong with those

Beats me. I used a smartphone. Ask the Withings guys. They have an online chat button.

This system does not have a dial up modem. It has wireless network adapter to connect to a wireless router and it has a gigabit ethernet adapter to connect to a router using a CAT 5 cable. If you need a dial up modem I would get an external USB modem since there is no space inside the computer for a modem card. I have used a USRobotics USB modem model 5637 with this computer and it worked very well.

Donna: My home landline service is thru the local cable company and the Guardian Alert works just fine. However, you (as did I) must make sure that your cable phone service provides *your* caller i.d. (your phone number, name, address) on your outgoing call(s). Most do these days, and you can verify it does simply by calling someone you know that has CID to see if your info comes up on their CID display. Sorry if this sounds condescending, but there's no point in buying Guardian Alert if you don't have an outgoing CID from your "cable phone connection." To be absolutely certain, call your local non-emergency (non-911) police number and explain that you want to verify your CID. They will be happy to accommodate your request because it ensures prompt and accurate response if you have a future 911 call. Btw, you can go to this web address and download a complete instruction manual (click on "Instructions V9.2 English) to read about its cable phone connections and everything else involving the Guardian Alert: http://www.logicmark.com/downloads/

You enter your numbers in a directory. To access them you just go to the number in the directory by clicking through the directory and hit phone and it dials the number for you.

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

Yes it can be used for dialup. I was using mine for that before we got Skyrunner

Depends on what Internet service provider you have. Some dial up providers systems are not compatible with windows 8.1. It will install and dial but may not establish a connection. It does work with windows 7.

No idea, I would call their tech support, there should be a way for you to search for them somehow.

there is no number. Just skip this step. It will not affect your modem's performance
