I don't have a landline at all -- will this still work?

No, I am afraid not. I had to get a land line. I have not heard of any fax machines that you can use with a cell phone. For what it's worth, this is a good little fax machine. If you have internet and cable with the same company, you can usually a phone for about $9.00 extra per month. Good luck.

I am not sure, but I think you can use it without the landline service. I would call Panasonic and ask. They are very helpful. I have it hooked up to a service, just so you know.

Yes. A land Line is not required for the device to work with your cordless handset.

of course, it should be landline to use this phone. It is stationary phone.

Yes, it will work without a telephone line. However, it has no way of messaging you via wireless or cellular. It would be like a car alarm that will alert you.

Hello,You only need a land line or internet line if you want the system to call you. The system can call any number the phone service it is connected to can call.Thanks!www.FortressSecurityStore.com

You shouldn't have to pay for your landline any longer. Just use OOMA and your internet connection. That's the whole point.

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.

Connie, I think you do need a land line, unless you have a cell phone with a phone line input (I've never seen one) that you can dedicate to the Freeze Control and way to keep the phone charged.

You need an Internet connection as it can be connected directly to a USB port on a laptop or desktop computer. Irregardless of your land-line phone service provider you will not lose your service unless you cancel it yourself.

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

We have not had an outage since I have owned this, but since it is a land-line phone I assume the phone will work on the old type phone lines, but maybe not the answering unit. (This is why some keep a landline phone for another kind of security.) I am definitely not a techie so double check this.

You need a smarter phone. I am sure that Amazon should have a product for your landline phone.

Only works if the power is on for voip/vonage type phone service. Traditional land line phone service is powered through the phone company and would still work during a power outage.

As far as I can tell, this system has no provision to connect to a land line, however, the manufacturer makes land-line systems. Just look for a non-GSM (cell phone) system.

You do not need a landline. All that is required is an (high speed) internet connection. Skype does not use hardly much bandwidth at all, you will not notice a difference in your download speeds. What is better, you can access Skype on many mobile devices with a wifi connection (such as Ipod, and even a PSP); you just need a wifi connection and earbuds with a microphone. Even better, when you travel (or use a computer at the hotel) you get your full Skype account just like you were home, all your contacts and calling costs you no more than at home. I go for the all-you-can-dial plan for about $25-30 per year. You will purchase the calling plan and the phone number seperately (total about $60)--but that is your entire phone bill for the year. It is even better--I am curently in Japan (military duty) and I call coast to coast, all year for only $60. And averyone calls me just like I was in Texas (got a Texas number). Tell me how you beat that? --Karlo J

I have to dial area code for local calls, they started that here maybe 2 years ago, you get used to it fast. And yes it's a landline phone service.
