Cell network or land line?

I have not installed my G5 HSW yet. However, sine it works with a Sim card it got to be a cell network. I have never seen a land line provider using sim cards.

Thanks, I have Internet via AT & T, I would think it will work, I do not have a land line phone?

Yes, that is exactly what I've done. Verizon is our cell service, so I transferred my land line number to the Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect device. It's a little black box with antenna that's actually a cell phone. A regular phone cord connects it to one of our phone wall plugs and the signal runs through the existing house wiring. The Panasonic KX-TG155SK system is plugged into another wall plug. Callers to our former land line don't even know they are talking over a cell service. Instead of paying AT&T about $40/month, we now pay Verizon $9.95 for the extra cell line on our family share plan.

Land line and paired cell phones can all receive calls iwithout impairing. In the case of my iPhone, incoming mobile calls ring on the Panasonic with the cell phone's ring tone.

We sent it back because Cable One would not hook it up. They wanted to sell us one of their brand new units. So we scrapped the whole idea and dropped our landline. We now use only our individual cell phones. Hope this helps!

Apparently not. I, too, have noticed that no matter what number I dial, I need to add the area code although I find it a minor inconvience when I am getting phone service for the whole year for what I had been paying monthly. I guess it's one of the trade-offs to be made. I hardly ever use my land-line anyway.

it has a port on side where you connect phone line like on a traditional phone.so you probably have to have a landline

You have to have a micro sim card installed and then you will have all the functions of your cell phone on the road. I believe there is even a way to make calls with a number of downloads. Google voice and Rebtel are two.

The phone connect to the cell phones through Bluetooth, so there should be no need to keep a land line. When any of the two cell phone rings, it shows cell on the this phone and you click that button rather than the usual on button which is used for land line.

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

Nope. They are built in and you are stuck. I know its a big choice. I went with sprint. We don't have a lot of cell coverage in our area but it works well.

No. If you connect your cell phone through Bluetooth, you can use your cellular plan to talk. No need for a landline.

nOT SURE WHAT UR ASKING but I can tell u I have my cell phone paired to my landline but I also pay for data use on my cell phone! But if ur asking if u can make calls from a cell phone by just pairing them I would want to say no. U have to also have landline service. Hope this helps.

I'm not exactly sure I understand the question, but this unit will take over your land line whenever you are making an emergency call, otherwise your land line will operate normally. It is an excellent unit and my dad ended up using it one day when he broke his leg. He was able to call me and talk to me when he couldn't reach the phone. Highly recommend.

Hi Joe...as far as I can see, this is the only service that I could find. I'm mostly satisfied with this service, but sometimes the connection is spotty. (In fairness, I should say that where I'm located isn't the most convenient for cell reception.) Thanks.

Me too. I have five cell phones in my house and two of them are mine. One for personal and the other for work. I was able to pair up my personal phone and set my business cell to forward to my personal phone so I in effect now have three (including the hubbies) setup on this system. I guess the kids will have to manage on their own. We don't have a land line. I'm surprised there are not more of these device. I hate it when my cell is downstairs and I'm upstairs. If I hear the phone, I make the mad dash.

You do not need a land line. I dont have one and it works fine. I can even fax by scanning my document and subscribing to a digital fax service.
