It probably will. ALL I can say is that we use it with our Internet phone (through that cable company) and it works.
147045
Yes, it will. My mother was in the same situation. I bought this for her and it worked great.

I'm not sure, but we use fios and it's compatible with our cordless phones.. so I imagine it would work.

I'm not sure but would think it would work with any phone we like ours but just have a reg phone co we have frontier maybe check with your cable co hope this will help you ANNA (CHECK THE OTHER REVIEWS SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL)

It should be fine. You have to plug the phone into the answering machine and if course connect phone to electric outlet. Great answering machine. Just as good and same features as others I've paid $75-100 for. I recommend this machine.

I have the main phone/answering machine. I have an additional handset in each of two different rooms. T paired them to the main unit (phone/answering machine) using the menu on the main system. My issue with the answering machine is that the message waiting beeps are very low for hearing impaired users.

I see no problem, what you would have to do is just plug the phone line into the answering machine then the answering machine to the phone jack.

NO, it is dependent on regular phone line jack which of course a cell phone does not have.

I purchased this answering machine for my parents. We are using with their cordless phone system and it works wonderfully.

I have this unit, and looked inside the jack. It is wired with 2 pins, so only one phone line.

No. This unit is not very good - lots of buzzing, hard to hear. I suggest you get a multi-handset cordless phone system that doubles as an intercom.

Probably not. It plugs into the phone's headphone socket so you'd technically be able to answer calls, but the cable is too short to allow you to talk into the phone while it's plugged in. You could of course just unplug the phone and use it normally!

I have several lines on my phone, so I would think that it does. It doesn't allow you to transfer calls to others from the headset though. You still have to go back to the base unit to do so.

You can connect any stand alone answering machine in line with this phone just as in any other land line phone.It does not contain an answering machine within the phone.

I also use a cable phone and it connects just like any other phone. I put a splitter on the line and attached both my cordless phone and the fax. Yes, you would have the same number. You need to set the fax so it doesn't pick up the phone before your answering service.

My mother, who uses the phone, wears two hearing aids. She has the corded phone and doesn't have any problem hearing conversation on it. I can't speak for the cordless one as I've not tried it. I did call the company for some help with the phone and their customer service is excellent, so I'm thinking that if you purchase one and don't like it, the return should be fairly easy. Hope this is helpful.

My advice would be to get a 3-5 phone cordless (AT&T;, Panasonic, etc) set with an answering system base. You can disable the answering function on the multi-unit and use Ooma's message function. You will be asked to choose an Ooma provided phone number from a list of numbers indigenous to your calling area.

My best guess is yes because if you do not have phone service then what would the unit transmit

I have cable phone service and caller ID works. I do not use the voicemail function however, so I don't know if it works well.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.
