Can I set an option to use the cell phone as the default outbound line instead of the land line?

Lee - With your cell phone paired and connected to the TL96271 base, you can choose to make an outbound call by pressing the Cellular or Home (landline) button. You do not have to even connect to a landline at all if you so choose. However there is no default option to one 'line' or the other.

Likely, just move the SIM over. Maybe adjust data settings for your carrier, but that should be it.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can set a soft-switch in the menu so that if you're on a call to an outside line other handsets can't pick up on that call. I hope this helps! Bob

That's up to your phone provider not the phones themselves. If its Verizon AT&T; whoever just tell them to set your lines to rollover.

It works perfectly as a landline only....but you have that optional cell phone feature should you ever have the need for it

I can't recall. I don't believe so. But connecting the phone line is very easy to do.

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

Not unless you plan on connecting a landline phone to make outgoing calls using that port. But when you hook it up to a phone line, you already can call in to it (you would have to set the number of rings before it answers on initial setup) also, the phone line from the wall connects to the "out line". If connecting a telephone or answering machine using the same outlet, you connect that to the "phone" port. (That messed me up when I was setting mine up, but that was the only problem I had)

Obviously porting would work, but you can also check available area codes on the Ooma site. [http://www.ooma.com/products/choose-number] Note the site has a place to check the portability of your current number as well as check for a given area code.

You are correct. Plug in the USB port, then plug into line in, and add the telephone, if you want to. I do not use it. I just use the line in for dialing services and my phone is accessing the line from another port.

You have the option of silencing just the base, or just the handset, or both. You can select on your own

Yes you can. I had the same situation. You can actually call Verizon to change phones.

you mean "From cell phone"? what ever it is, I believe this model need a land line to work.

Yes and no. An active land line is needed to be plugged into the console that will dial the number. The number(s) you choose to have be dialed could be your cell phone number.

It should be able to be activated anywhere DEPENDING on the carrier (net 10, tracfone, verizon, etc) that you are going to use,

You can use two versions of this phone on the same line. One is a base unit, the outrigger is a satellite phone. Does that help?

It works without a land line if you want to use it only for cell linking through bluetooth.
