Will this work with VOIP telephone services too? Phone base needs to be connected to modem. So line from modem to jack then jack to phone base?

I don't know. I had hoped to use it for my fax machine and be able to move it to another room but it did not work for that. The fax would connect but the signal wasn't strong enough to actually receive it before the sending machine disconnected.

The base unit has to have an ethernet connection into a modem or router. The base unit then communicates wireleslly to the handsets. However, you will want to check with your VOIP provider regarding which modems will work with the phones. For example, the business class modem/router units Comcast provides will NOT work. I had to get a stand-alone modem, connect it with a router, and plug the base unit into the router.

If you want telephone service from cable provider, NO - This is a simple modem and will support internet only. Not a telephony gateway. You need Arris Touchstone TM822G DOCSIS 3.0 8x4 Ultra-High Speed Telephony ModemIf you are asking about VOIP like vonage, magic jack, ooma ,google voice- Yes those will work

No it will not work on VOIP. I returned mine it only worked for a week and the died.

It is unlikely that the unit will work over a VOIP type of phone. Typically a VOIP phone has its own program and/or chipset to that takes care of all calls. (thats why most VOIP phones are fairly large and look like a modem/router) The alarm module isn't that sophisticated... it is similar to a 56K modem that just dials out on a standard (not IP) phone line.

you have to have the internet on any of the voip devices be it Vonage ooma magic jack or nettalk. I no longer have nettalk

It didn't work for me. You have to have a modem with telephony capabilities.

No phone jack. Just the cable/BNC and network jack. This is not a combo voice and network modem. I had the voice port too when I used Comcast's voice bundle. Switching to this modem means ending the Comcast voice plan. You might need to switch to Vonage or another VoIP provider for that.

Yes, this and every Panasonic telephone will work with VoIP applications, with an Analog-Telephone-Adapter, connected to it.

It will only work on an analog phone, which means it does not work on something that uses the Internet VOIP, such as Vonage, or Comcast Digital Voice. It you have a traditional land line with a phone company it is probably fine. You can use it attached to the base station of a cordless land line phone, but not an extension handset. It needs to be wired to a phone jack.

No it will not work that way. The device expects to have a SIP server with which to connect. It is not a simple line device. It understands dialing plans and converts telephone events into SIP signaling.

Sorry, I do not have voip so I am unsure. I can say that it does work great with regular phone service.

I think you're asking whether the unit will work with a digital VOIP phone connected through, for example, a cable modem. I don't know. I haven't tried it. There's no distinction made in the manual between a regular POTS land line and a digital line. I've seen one review saying it did not work with a digital line, but you can't go by one review. Digital lines vary -- for example, some will work with a regular fax machine and others won't. You probably have to test it on your particular system.

If you subscribe to a telephone service with your DSL (VoIP telephone or normal telephone), it will work with the telephone service (you would simply plug it into your telephone outlet). It will not work with DSL alone (which is what your computer uses to access the Internet).

I have Vonage and plugged my skype dual phone into the Vonage adapter and it works fine. You just need to use a telephone wire splitter for the phone wire on the Vonage unit. I am absolutely sold on Skype and will most likely be dropping Vonage altogether. I'm giving it a little more time to be sure (it's been about 2 months). I almost didn't attempt to use Skype because of the MagicJack horror that I tried first.

I use it with VOIP, but not AT&T. However, I would think it should work fine.

Hi Judy, no it plugs into your normal phone jack. You can use it with internet phone services but you will need the interface box like Ooma, etc etc. Regards
