do I have to keep landline

yes, unless you are going to use a computer or internet for making your calls, this does need to plug in to work.

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

No I actually now have Basic Talk phone service which run off of you high speed Internet connection.

The phone connect to the cell phones through Bluetooth, so there should be no need to keep a land line. When any of the two cell phone rings, it shows cell on the this phone and you click that button rather than the usual on button which is used for land line.

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.

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

Apparently not. I, too, have noticed that no matter what number I dial, I need to add the area code although I find it a minor inconvience when I am getting phone service for the whole year for what I had been paying monthly. I guess it's one of the trade-offs to be made. I hardly ever use my land-line anyway.

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.

I don't have a landline either. Go tohttp://alarmsim.com. No monthly fees, just prepay for minutes. & it does not expire. Worked great for me.

Yes. A land line is not necessary for this product to work, but the sub-stations must be properly wired for complete use.

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

you need a landline for the house number but it will dial a cell phone number. But not a cell phone number for the house number.

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.

I don't know, I have a landline. If you find out though let me know since I also have a cell phone

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.

Yes, by purchasing this phone, this indicates you have landline service. You have the same features with this phone as the one you are replacing. I absolutely love this phone. I have recommended it to friends who have had to replace their remote phone, I receive many thanks!

I'm currently not using it for a Landline phone. However the ARRIS Gateway modem performs great for my internet usage.

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

You can try it because it won't break anything if it doesn't work. You have to have a landline in order to do this.
