is it possible to use this unit without a landline phone company service, as a home option for extending cell phone use throughout the home?

& what would you do in an emgy when cellphone lines are jammed? Our cable telephone will still work even if power is out as it has an 8-10 hour backup battery. And even safest is a regular landline & manual phone for emgys.

The phone has bluetooth capabilities, which may or may not apply to your situation.The phone does allow for connectivity for cell phones through your home phone service, but whether or not you can use the phone for a cell phone signal booster, I couldn't say

Absolutely! I have a dead spot for cell service where my office is. I leave my cell phone by the window and use the remote Panasonic phone at my desk. I do have landline service, but I disconnected it to test your question. You can also download your cell phone address book into the Panasonic phone which I find very useful.In a power outage, the panasonic will not work as it does use electric power, but your cell phone will still work by itself provided cell service is still up.

It needs a land line phone, but it does not require land line phone service. It just needs the physical wiring.

It cannot be connected to a landline telephone. You must use the SIM card as far as we were able to figure out from customer service.

It will work without a home line but it doesnt have the ability to work over a cell line.

No, you don't need to have a landline for the alarm to work but without one you won't be notified of an alarm condition if you're away from home.

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

Yes! it's meant to be used outside your pbx system on a regular landline!! Still in use after more than a year,:)Lawson ( in the previous post) points out the simplicity of installation and basic tips for operation. Thanks Lawson!

If the land line has blue tooth capability then I believe so. I can't at my house. You can have two blue tooth devices connected to it. So my husband and I both have our cell phones connected.

Yes, you can use this with two different cell phones and no landline. However, the cell phones connect to the base unit via Bluetooth and so you must keep the cell phones within Bluetooth range of the base unit (10-20 ft).

IT's not prepaid you will need to make a deposit on the service, you are not get a landline but more of a cell phone that stays home, but you can take it with you and plug it in anymore and use the phone so long as you have service. the service part i dont know anything about, after calling finding out it was prepaid, and then on top i need to give them a deposit to have a phone i didnt sign up for. sorry if i wasnt any help. :D

No land line is used at all. This product brings in the cellular signal outside and replicates it inside and vice versa.

Yes. You plug this phone into a landline outlet and use it like you would any other landline phone.

Yes of course it's works without land line, but you won't receive calls to your land line on this device in this case

You can try but they have discontinued the at home service for over 3 years now so you may no longer be able to add this service

I am just using it as a house phone. As I understand it, it can also somehow be linked to a cell phone.

yes you can. I did it with my phone but I first called consumer cellular and told them what I was doing. the phone needs to be set up by them.
