You would need one if you wanted to use the Internet, email, etc. The phone would probably be very slow though.

I returned this product because there were several problems I encountered with installation. So I don't remember. But I do think you had to have phone service.

Yes just the answering machine/main base has to be hooked up to the phone line. All 3 base units each have an AC plug that has to be plugged into an outlet.

It does need a dedicated phone line. The way around it is to use one of those little splitters. Plug it into your phone jack, then use one for the phone line, another one for the faxes.Or you can install an extra phone jack next to the existing one (if you know how).

According to the instructions, it should be installed between the phone line (wall-jack) and the telephone system, but many users connect it with a splitter in parallel with their existing phone(s). Regards,

You would need to connect the modem to a telephone line. So telephone service would be necessary.

You will need a "landline." Since you have only internet and Ethernet running to the area you could use a Ooma or MagicJack Plus device to generate a "landline" at the unit.

Yes, a regular analogue phone line plugs into the back of the control box of this system. You must use their phones with the system. I use mine with my cable phone add I would Amy phone.

Yes you need a phone line to set it up. You don't need a computer to hook it up as it has an inbuilt wireless router.
