Does this phone work with Vonage so that you use that as your voicemail source rather than the built-in answering machine?

I use my external email setup through Frontier with no problems so I would think you would be able to via another carrier. I think you just extend the number of rings so your external picks up before the built in answer machine.

No, I use the same phone line and with my answering machine. Hope this helps.

I have that answering machine/phone combo and I bought that phone that you questioned and they work great together. It was several years ago, but should still work.

I found that answer on the Internet from others who purchased the phone. I never have needed to set up the voicemail. It's a good little phone with horrid instructions on how to use.

I agree! I also use voicemail & wont be using the answerg machine on phn. I want a speakerphone on handset & base unit. Can additional handsets be purchased to expand the unit?

I do not have Vonage but it works with another Cable Phone Modem. It should work with Vonage.

This is not listed as a 'certified' compatible vonage device. Has anyone actually tried it? I understand the BS nature of the 'certified' device, but I'm look for at least one confirmed success.

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!

The PAP2T-NA will not work with Vonage. The PAP2T-NA supports open protocols such as RTP and SIP where as Vonage uses a proprietary protocol. As for unlocked, this means the PAP2T-NA was never locked in to a particular customer or the adapter was unlocked for the secondary market. I use several with my asterisk server and have never had any issues. Sometimes the boxes do get warm so they need lots of ventilation. larry@databases4you.com

This is a great phone; however, it is not compatible, to my knowledge, with verizon voicemail.

No, because it doesn't have an answering machine. I am not satisfied with this phone.

I'm actually working this phone over a Vonage line. I have a direct line connected to this phone and it has worked fine, so far. This model does not have the option for extended microphones, but for my purposes -desktop- works perfectly well. Lots of clarity and excellent sound.

This phone doesn't directly connect to a VoIP service, it is a standard 2-line analog phone. However, I have used this phone with OOMA for nearly a year and it has worked nicely. You need a device that will bridge from the VoIP service to analog telephone service. The caller ID features are dependent on the provider (VoIP or regular) not on the phone.

It,s a little unclear what you are askng but maybe this will hyelp...I use vonage. I have the panasonic VM on and if i am NOT on phone and do not pick upo, it goes to the panasonic VM. If I have it turned off, and do not pick up, it goes to my Vonage VM. If I am on the phone, regardless of whet6her it is on or off, it goes to vonage and the message is left there. And I DO gave call waiting. Call waiting gives you the opportunity to pick up if you want. If I dont, it goes to Vonage

Sorry. I don't use the machine answering system. I have a voice mail account and I use that. If you buy the phone, I am sure that the instruction manual will explain all you need to know. It's a cool set-up. I recommend it.

I really don't know. In my house of the 26 years, I did respond to voice mails, if they happened to go to the phone rather than my AT&T; coverage. However, I am having a problem with my phone system in my rental space and I have to call AT&T; regarding retrieving the messages. My service is really messed up and AT&T; has tried to fix it, but I think it needs jands on tech support instead of turning off my internet also for periods of time. Sorry, that I am no help. I try not to buy an answering machine, but there was no choice with this phone.

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.
