With this HIRO setup, will my independent phone and answering system ring in if I am on my Netzero dialup internet connection?

first answered I dont know, but then i tried it and am sorry to say NO mine did not, it is however at least 50 % faster than the Willrose that I was using, it actually slowed the PC down, hope this helped!

It supports the modem-on-hold feature. This will pause your internet connection for an incoming call or fax.

Yes. I started with dial up using this unit. Now use DSL via the same phone line both work fine.

Does anyone know if this system's autodialer would work over a cellular phone connection instead of a traditional landline connection? I would like to use the system in conjunction with a Phone Labs Dock-N-Talk cellphone docking station as a stand alone connection and not have it tied in to my home telephone system. It would add another level of security in that a cut of the home telephone line outside the house would not affect the system at all.

Yes. If you have configured a VOIP provider (or several), the device will let you choose what line/account you want to use for outbound calls. Unless you specify a default. Overall a well-designed product. Just be aware that it can't do Wifi; I had to move my Internet router to someplace next to a phone outlet in order to connect the base station.

No internet connection needed, it will boost the lower frequency phone signal as well as a high frequency data signal. Which will allow you to use your data as well as voice.

The dialer does work with VoIP systems like ooma, but you do need to plug it into a standard phone jack for it to work.

It needs to finish connecting before you dial. I always hear it dial, if my Roadster 2 is connected. If it is still on stand by, then I may not hear the ringer.

I dont know what kind of phone options you have. I know i have a answering.machine and it didnt work for me so i just did not use that feature on the unit. Still have yet to see if the sensor will work. I hope i am not out of signal range or interference . I have one sensor in the basement and the phone dialer on the second floor.

Yes if you intend to keep the Phone firm ware up to date and browse internet. If you dont have a data plan do not turn on your phone's Mobile network data settings.

No... It is s stand alone unit. The base station connects directly to the Internet by Ethernet cable through your local router for skype calls. You can also connect it to your landline for local calls. We are using three handsets with one base station in our installation. The beauty of this system is that you don't need a computer to use it. All it needs is an Internet connection through your router.

I have a Panasonic 4 line wireless system and yes, all phones ring, just as if connected directly to the phone line. I had to get a standalone answering machine as the built-in answering machine on the wireless phone would not work as the answering machine connects to a separate jack on the Telebouncer. Once set however, it has been like a blessing from the almighty! I get one ring so I can capture callerid, then it stops unless the caller presses the number. Has brought much peace to the household!

I use the intercom when I am in one building and want to to talk DH in another building. Yes, we have 3 phones on this and you can direct call to each other phone as needed. It does ring differently. My system is hooked up to phone line and works as regular phone too, I have been very happy with this phone. :)

The answer is no if you expect to get a dial tone by just adding the adapter to an Ethernet cable from a switch. This adapter kit lets you use a single Ethernet cable like Cat5e to establish an Ethernet connection and phone line connection, but You need to have telephone service first.

No, it is not connected to the internet. It works like a regular land line phone.

hi, an update on my previous note...I used the locator/intercom feature with my husband. He answered his phone in the basement and it came through the intercom. Thanks for making me aware of this feature!

No, it is just a telephone. It was connected to my landline at first. Now it is connected to my FIOS service.

Not if they are using the same line (unless you are using a Voip phone possibly where the phone data gets mixed with other data - have not tried that myself). In general, no either the phone or the internet, but not both using the same line.
