analog? Does this mean if you have digital phone such as Vonage, this system will not work with it?

Correct. Not compatible with Vonage, VoIP, Internet, Cable or Digital telephone services. Only compatible with Analog telephone line service.

No, This is an analog to digital conversion not the digital to analog that it sounds like you require.

Some models that were sent supposedly have the ability mine doesnt, if yours does it would be under settings >time where it allows you to change from digital to analog.

My mom's system worked great with her Vonage internet phone. I believe it is designed to work with any land phone line. It won't work with cellular service.

Yes. The phone signal and the equipment are digital. It is then "converted" to an analog signal that your regular phone can handle.

do you mind me asking what system you bought that did NOT come with the answering system? i just hooked up to vonage, and i need something with lots(4) of handsets, but no answering machine. Any advice would be great! Thanks so Much!

Honestly, I do not know if it will work with Vonage or not. I have digital phone service through my provider, and the Telezapper did NOT work at all, so it was a waste of money for me.

If your system can feature out POT's (Analog) line it will work just fine. I have a Mitel switch and I can set up digital and analog lines. This phone requires an Analog line.

I don't use Vonage or any similar service but my phone service is through my cable company. The cable modem has a connection for my computer and a separate connection for my phone. So, my phone calls are going through a server somewhere. For this reason I think that the phone would work fine through a computer. Also, the owner's manual does not have any restrictions listed for use with a computer.

the manual says its a digital answering machine and a plain paper fax. if youre asking if its compatible with a digital phone line, i do not know as i only have an analog line.

I personally have never heard of an analog phone. The readout is digital and the buttons and audio sound is digital. Sorry I could not help you better. This phone has a problem with the message key and will not always replay your messages. To fix this problem hold down the delete button, unplug the power, wait a few seconds, plug the power back in, wait another 5 seconds or so and release the delete button. The message key should now work. Enjoy your day.

That would depend on the quality of the analog audio AND the quality of the digitally-encoded audio. Think "garbage-in~garbage-out".

I have spent the better part of three days researching lines that will work with this. Very few phone vendors know what "analog" is. None guarantee it will work. Rumor has it that the Vonage Box VoIP Phone adaptor will work. I am willing to try it because it is the cheapest and fastest device to set up requiring an internet router, a Vonage box and a TTY, some phone cord. IP text relay is being eliminated by the FCC as of November 14, 2014. Those of us who do not hear or sign in ASL must get an alternative method of communication.

It's a regular hard-wired analog phone with RJ11 connectors. It's connected to our Comcast modem to a Google phone account, so it is working over IP. I can't recall if Vonage has a modem that converts IP to analog, but if it does, this should work. I hope this helps.

It will take digital or analog input. These require "training" as seperate as any human voice, even it is your own...

no....this system works with smart phones etc....unless there is some weird adapter..RCA is analog...this is digital....

Yes, it works nicely with VOIP. That's what I use it for. You still need to have a Analog Telephone Adapter between the phone base and the network you are attached to.
