Does it work if you get your phone service through a cable company? Anything special need to be done?

I have cable phone service and it works with my phone no problem. Just plug and go.

You need some source for it to work, either cable, an antenna or dish, for this to work

Yes. It works with cable company phone adapters because they're analog. The back of the phone adapter has a plug that the phone plugs into. When you pick up the phone, you get dial tone and can make calls. When calls come into the number, the phone rings. VOIP is the same situation. If you have a VOIP adaptor (Vonage, Basictalk, NetTalk), the adaptor plugs into an internet port on your router and converts it to a plug that this phone can make and take calls from.

Just try it. I tried it and it works. The only problem I got was that the signal of the cable is so strong that I can only get around 5 digital channels.

It depends on the type of cable box your local cable company has, I would call them. I am currently using mine and a cable box but had to use some modified jumper cables to make it work.

Digital cable will not work. If your cable provider offers analog cable (that does not require a box), this should work fine. Just make sure that in the settings you tell it to look for "Cable" not "Air". Many cable companies no longer offer this service.

I have a cable modem but google it or get the online instructions, they should let you know.

Yep! Just be sure to ask for a multi-stream CableCard. It's easier to have them set it up, I think...

I can't vouch for Cox Cable System but if it's a VOIP phone service, it should. I'm using it on Verizon FIOS phone which is VOIP.

A lot of misinformation below. This DOES work with cable (in my case FIOS) assuming the digital stations are not encrypted by your provider. Almost all stations are encrypted outside of local networks like ABC, NBC, PBS, etc. So don't purchase this thinking you can bypass your providers set top box for things like HGTV, USA, TBS, ESPN, etc even if they are part of your plan. If all you need is local stations (like me) and stream everything else with Netflix and the like, this should work great (just clarify with your provider that your local stations are QAM-compatible and unencrypted).

I purchased the unit to replace an identical Time Warner Cable unit that I was leasing for internet and telephone. It does have a telephone jack, but TWC would not download the code to use for the telephone. I was able to remove the lease fee (for internet, there was no lease fee for telephone, but I now have 2 identical units on my desk, each partially employed. There should be a search on the Comcast site that would indicate if this will work with their hardware.

I never tried it, but I use mine with Cablevision telephone service which is basically the same. Product plugs in where any standard telephone does.

We have our phone service thru Comcast (VoIP) and it works fine. Handsets are available but you have check with sellers.

I am using it with my Verison FIOS service, so yes, at least for one cable service. Keep in mind, though, unlike an old-fashioned land line, if you lose electricity, the cable phone won't work.
