It connects to landline. You could use majic jack or similar product if you have wi fi available. Otherwise you're better off spending the extra to get a system that uses cellular dialer, althoigh then you get charged a monthly fee for service.

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.

You can use any smartphone features without a sim card. You just won't be able to call or text people.

Sorry but no. You have to be issued a Google voice number.FYI they don't mention you have to a smart phone or regular land line just to activate.

You can use any phone. Just plug the phone into the device, just like you would in any phone jack. I hope that helps.

No, the phone does not require a data plan. I have the phone and do not have a data plan.

No, you need the SIM (with an internet plan) only if you don't have WIFI access.

No, Your basic service will need to have the extras, this is more of a basic phone, I know it look like it would have, but it doesn't. God Bless!

You don't *need* to use the phone feature. It's optional. But it does need a landline. Cell phones will not work.

Yes, you can. You can bring your own phone with straight talk. Call them & verify this info.

I don't think that my husband had one so no, to be honest it wasn't the best phone though... just a heads up. His was pretty old so just keep that in mind. Have a great day.

Unfortunately, No. You have to dig into the menu. They just don't make good phones like they used to!

Yes, you need the phone with you and within a certain range of the Bluetooth device. I don't see in the directions where it says you need to answer the call on your phone. The purpose of a Bluetooth is so you don't have to do that! You click on the headset to answer the phone. Read the directions again carefully. It says "to answer a call press and release the [Call] button or press the answer key on your mobile phone. It says "OR".

No and you cannot use it as a phone. I ended up giving it to my nephew to use on wi-fi at home.
