Thank you. Your diligence is commendable. This topic is not relevant to my interests, but I applaud your thoughtfulness in posting the results of your search so others may benefit from your efforts. Again, thank you.

OK....I may have found my answer. Probably the 'telephony' referred to as not working with this modem would be if you have VOIP service through the cable provider. The cable provider gives you a different modem if you use their VOIP service....I do NOT use the cable VOIP service, I use VoicePulse so I think this modem will be fine as the VoicePulse module just connects to my router. Probably something like Vonage is similar.So, I am about to take the plunge and order this.

I use this modem with VOIP. You can not plug a telephone directly into the modem - you must have other equipment to do that. In my case, I have an Ooma Telo that plugs into my Internet connection, and the phones plug into it.

Looking to Nettalk web side it probably does. I have a voip service connected to my router and it works perfectly fine.

John, I love this phone, nothing fancy, it's just a phone and I use net10. This is possible because here in New England there are a number of "primary" phone services such as AT&T;, Verizon and Sprint from whom Net10 (a phone service reseller) contracts airtime for their customers. The "G" in the model number for the phone you want indicates this phone works on GSM networks (AT&T; in my area). Sounds like Net10 does not have an agreement with a primary phone service provider on a GSM network (vs CDMA) in your "home area".

This was copied from the Pro Call Blocker website. "3. Will your units work with my VOIP service? Yes. As long as you have active Caller ID service. Please contact us if you have a "Digital Voice" type of VoIP service, as there are a few known issues with a few of the setups that are brand new to the market. Comcast XFINITY setups typically do not send enough of the necessary electricity to power the unit, so until further notice Comcast XFINITY customers should not purchase our units. Please note that if you are a Comcast customer with one of their traditional landline plans or non-XFINITY phone setups, the Pro Call Blocker will work just fine."

Your question could be interpreted two different ways. 1) Will the service provided a through this modem allow for VOIP service - the modem doesn't restrict VOIP service, however your ISP might. and 2) does this modem have an RJ-11 modular phone jack on the back panel so you can hook your POTS phone into it... Mine does not, but there may be telephone-capable variants of the CG3000d that does have that feature.

NO.. Actually I sent this modem back. I did replace it, however, with a "TELEPHONY" modem that is just like the one I was renting from Comcast. I didn't realize my error in reviewing this item until after I hit ENTER. sorry

It answers for a FAX application. The Voice MODEM will work with a software telephone app.

This adapter let your home phone network to connect to the external telephone network via the broadband connection. So, if you already have regular phone (any type including cordless), then you can use those phones to make calls as you would normally do. If your home phone network is currently connected to a land-line phone network (such as AT&T;/Verizon/etc) then you will have to disconnect it first before connecting to this adapter. On the other hand, if you already have VOIP phone connection (such as the one provided by you cable company or Vonage and others) then you can replace them with google voice. Beware of the fact that google voice does not provide 911 support. This adapter let your home phone network to connect to the external telephone network via the broadband connection.

It didn't work for me. You have to have a modem with telephony capabilities.

May be too late for this but here goes anyway...I had this same problem, ATT landline, GV would NOT port it over, only if it was with cell phone service provider. I found and old cell phone in my drawer, went to MetroPCS (or any No-Contract) service provider, ported my ATT landline phone (yes I had to pay for 1 month service with cell phone svc provider!) Once my home phone was ported, I was able to immediately port it from MetroPCS to GoogleVoice. Absolutely worth it, as I've had my home tel nbr for years and the kids had it memorized etc.

I thought this was a fail over connection. If the VOIP service your are using fails or your internet connection goes down, you still have the analog line to make and receive phone calls. You would probably want to connect this to an uninterruptible power supply so if power goes out, you still have access through the OBI110 to the analog POTS line. If you were out of the country, you could use it to make local telephone calls over the analog POTS line. IN the foreign country, you would use the VOIP line to get to the OBI1110 in the US, for example. Then dial out therefrom using the analog line. Lastly, 911 calls would then be made locally.

If you want telephone service from cable provider, NO - This is a simple modem and will support internet only. Not a telephony gateway. You need Arris Touchstone TM822G DOCSIS 3.0 8x4 Ultra-High Speed Telephony ModemIf you are asking about VOIP like vonage, magic jack, ooma ,google voice- Yes those will work

I am not familiar with Comcast Voice, we use our Ameriphone Super Phone Ringer with our AT & T service, the phone line plugging in with a standard phone plug. We can hear the Super Phone Ringer anywhere on our 2 acres, loud and clear. I am not sure if I have answered your question, please let us know if you need any other information. bogie

No, this device does not support telephony. It provides access to cable Internet service.

I bought it and my phone and computer went out before I installed it. Comcast came out and told me it would support their internet service, but not their phone service - I have Comcast internet/phone/TV bundle. I don't know - but that's what the Comcast serviceman said - does not support Comcast phone.

This ip phone respond to a server, it could be remote (skype, etc.) or a local host (your voip server). I installed a vdex (not any more in the market). the server can have several fx0s that allow You to plugin any conventional or land line, through the server You can use Your phone as an extension to it, just use any ethernet port to connect Your phone.

I bought the same one on Comcast advice, and the next tech I worked with, once it came time to finish the setup for it, told me it was not compatible with their VoIP. So I had to purchase the higher Arris.
