Do I need a land line to call out or will a certain cell station Work?

I think you do. The unit needs a connection to phone service since the unit itself dials the number you set with its internal dialer. I do not know how you would connect a cell phone to the unit by standard modular plug & the cell phone would have to supply a dial tone without external command.

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.

Yes, a phone line is required in order for the system to dial out. My recommendations would be simple talk, vonage or Verizon's home phone connect.

I have two cell phones (different numbers) as well as my original land-line connected to this system. When the Bluetooth signal is within range (+/- 75 feet of the base) all calls, to all numbers, ring the handsets. Therefore you can pick up any incoming call for any number, from any phone, including your cell phones (assuming the call was for one of the cell phone numbers. Land-line calls are obviously not routed through your cellular device). As for outgoing calls, once again, you can either call from your land-line or call from either of the two cell phones with no special requirements. Just pick up your phone and dial. No "unpairing" required whatsoever. Oh, and any incoming text message for your cell phones causes the system to ring (a different ring versus the "regular" ring) and announce "text message". Handy but i assume you can turn off that feature if you don't want to hear it. Hope that answers your question.

You do NOT need a land line to use this system. We don't have a land line. You will see a message on the handsets (on the bottom of the display) that reads "Check tel line." Just ignore that. You can connect 2 blue-tooth cell phones.

I think you are asking if the phone system will work without a landline? The phone system will work with a land line in combination with a cell phone or two cell phones. You do not need a land line at all for the system to work.

U would need to call straight talk directly. I live in Idaho and it worked good in town -but not in the country due to some licensing problem where straight talk couldnt use other provider's cell towers-the service out of town was bad.

Not sure if it will dial out. I don't have mine connected to a land line. Mine is set up using wifi.

You will have to have internet coverage, and not from satellite. If you have that, cable or DSL you will not need a land line (unless it is required to procure the DSL in which case get the cheapest service possible as you will never use it. That is what I had to do in Northern Michigan. Good luck.

No. If you connect your cell phone through Bluetooth, you can use your cellular plan to talk. No need for a landline.

The dialer requires a land line to dial out of. Once the connection is made the host can then call any number that you program to the host. Including cell phones.

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.

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

This and the base unit are single line phones - the product description on Amazon clearly states this works with single line phones. If you meant to ask whether you can use the land line as well as one or two additional cell phone numbers with it, yes.

The system will not call out without a landline. The rest of the system will still function, but it won't call you (or anyone else).

You need a landline, so it can call you, not meant for a cell phone. As far as the function light going on, that should be from the battery, as far as I know.

If you have landline it will work ,but if it goes through internet wireless service it will not work

You need to be able to plug the base unit into a power outlet and a phone jack (land line). Once you've done that the unit can call cell phones or land lines in case of emergency. We have ours set to call 1 land line and 3 cell phones with no problems so far.
