do you need a land line

I only use land line. But the product instructions manual said that you can setup with mobile phone. I have never tried to use the mobile phone feature.

Yes, this is how your system is connected to the telephone system. Because of this, when you are using your landline to make a phone call, the machine will remind you that the machine cannot work while the line is busy.

You need a phone line. It can be a VOIP line like Nettalk Duo, which only costs about $40 per year.

No, I have a Comcast modem and it works fine, I don't know about cell phones, but yes to VOIP.. If you get a dial tone it shouldwork.
1744386
Yes, the device is connected between the phone and wall outlet. A voip line should also work.

You can use a cell phone adapter with your cell phone. So, you don't have to have a landline.

The base system is used with a landline, but the company web site says you may buy a Bluetooth adapter to work will a cell phone

Yes, you connect it to your landline and it does require an outlet for the base unit. This is a elegant cordless phone, not "crap" like another reviewer said. If you like the clean styling that Apple products have, you might really like it. However, its features may or may not suit everyone. I like it, although its range is not quite what I expected.

If you mean for the phone itself? No. Land line service doesn't automatically come with it though, but it doesn't have to be AT&T. The phone line you will have to pay for.

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

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

Nope. As long as you have an analog line you're good to go. You don't need a phone system or anything like that.

You need the landline connected for 911 calls only. For all other calls you can use Skype without a regular landline connection.

No, because it is a fax machine. I mean, a regular fax that needs a land line for the fax to work.

We have no land line, just cell phones. Overall we like the phones, the caller id works as well as pretty much all the features i can think of altho we have not set up or used the answering system as we just use our voicemail on our phones but the bluetooth has a lag; after answering the phone it takes about 10 seconds of saying hello until it actually connects to the cell phone for the called to hear me.

No you don't have to both. I don't have a land line, just a cellphone and this phone is working great for me. Note: I have found that I have to cycle my cellphone on and off about once a week so that they stay connected. But this maybe because the signal strength in my house can be weak sometimes. Also, if you are using a cellphone only, make sure that hit the "Cellphone" button when you make a call. If you use the "Home" button it won't work.

Hi Leslie, this product is for those who wish to use their cellphone as their land line - meaning you will be able to pick up your home phone and dial with it via your cellphone or receive calls. Say you left your cellphone downstairs and it's ringing - you will be able to pick up the call from the nearest phone in your home. I don't have any land line subscriptions and I have an unlimited talk and text packet on my cell so I use it for just that. I dont see the benefit of connecting it to Basic Talk as it a VOIP provider that replaces your Comcast.

You need a phone line, but it does not have to be a "land line". I am using AT&T;'s wireless home system and it works fine. Should also work with VOIP

Yes, you must have a land line, I think that you can use it with you mobil line connecting with bluetooth but Im no sure... I haven't tried!

You don't have to use the extensions, if you don't want to. Yes you can use it as your primary land line.

I dont have a land-line either, however I do have high speed internet. I purchased something that would allow me to make phone calls using my internet line (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LO098O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). Then I just plugged in the telephone cord to the alarm system. For that product you need a google voice account (free). It will call me when the alarm is triggered, however I have not tried any of the other remote-access features yet.

No. One phone line for the base unit is all you need. But read other questions I've answered about this phone. DON'T BUY IT.! IT'S JUNK. Go for a Panasonic instead.

No, you don't need a phone line unless you are going to use the remote calling feature.
