do u need to already have phone service for this to work

My best guess is yes because if you do not have phone service then what would the unit transmit

Yes you need phone service. This jack hooks into a room that is wired for phone service and allows you to plug into a different room that only has power. Then the second room will have phone service.

Yes it works with plain old telephone service. The system has an integrated auto attendant option.

Yes. It's an empty phone with no plan now. you can use for family plan or add pre paid service. However I'm very unhappy with it, I dropped it after 3 days.

No this phone does not require a telephone system or internet. You plug it into a standard phone line just like you would any other land phone.

The landline use will only require high speed internet connection. If Verizon provides you with your internet service; then the answer is yes! However, if you are talking of Verizon as in your telephone voice service provider- the answer is no! You DO NOT need any other phone service for you to use the device as your landline service.. Remember this is a VOIP device.. thus Voice Over Internet Protocol .. you will be having your phone service through the internet... I hope this helps!

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

Yes. But like Bob Spencer mentioned, it has to be activated by the phone provider. Or if you already have one (like i did from my previous phone) you can use that one.

Just popping in a phone sim card in it will make it work like a phone.But to have mobile internet you will have to let the technicians at your mobile phone/internet company configure it.In my case i purchased a new sim card just for it.They needed to activate the service for me. If you are a little worried then check with them first before making your purchase. Mine works perfect and i have no regrets.

yes, unless you are going to use a computer or internet for making your calls, this does need to plug in to work.

No, all you need to do is set up the account with H20 service provider. Just make sure you have service coverage in your area.

If you are asking if you need a dedicated phone line, the answer is no. I only used the fax feature one time, but it did work well.

As I recall, yes. You must sign up with carrier for extra services. I returned this phone due to continuous dropped calls.Google reviews before buying. Great phone. Poor mechanics.

As long as you have Wi-Fi you do not need service mine connects to Wi-Fi at home or any free Wi-Fi If it is through a company with no Wi-Fi then you will need service

no I am told it has to be a pre pay phone only if the prior owner says was then yes. There are some like that but need to know

No. It works without the landline. You can link the line with 2 cell phones. Works just like having a landline. Great sound quality. Definitely happy with my purchase.

The phone will work as a telephone. The caller ID and answering functions need the power cord. Also the ring without the external power is different. I just tested the phone with and without the power cord to check this answer.

Yes--the phone has the function but it needs to be established with your phone service.
