Do you have to put your phone in the device? I need something for my home that all can use but that's reasonable.

Yes, your phone does have to be in the device for it to work. This unit works great in our vehicle and actually pulls in 4G where we are not supposed to get it. Some have mentioned the units burning out. We use ours six days a week on our mail route at about 5 hours a day. We have had it almost six months. Glad we bought the Wilson.

Yes, this is a cradle design, it works very well for me... I live far out in the country and have 4g singal with this unit, wheither you use your phone as a hotspot or teather to your computer it should work well... I would suggest to unplug all connectons when not in use because is keeps the base hot and will burn out like my first one did with only the antenna connected when not in use... but Wilson's warranty replaced it very quickly so AAA+++ to Wilson. I hope that this helped...

There is a Wilson model that uses a wireless antenna where anyone within range can use it with their cell phone. With this model, yes you do have to have the phone in the cradle for it to work.

Yes. You can use your phone as usual - everything is accessible including the camera.

Yes you do: if you have a house phone you will need an adapter (and filter)that has two entries, one for your home phone and one labeled DSL

No, all you need is a phone cable, type you hook a phone up with to the wall.

No. We got well over that and it works fine. It also offers an app for your phone.

I don't think a phone is needed for life alert. They provide everything you need. You may need to have a phone line where the system can be plugged in though. I would ask Life Alert.

No you cant,I couldn't find any use for it, to get anything out of it you have to tether it, which cost a lot of money on your phone carrier

It requires the app on the phone.. the device doesn't tell you anything unfortunately.

Yes, you need Tmobile's @home service which costs $10 monthly but I don't believe they offer that anymore, you should check since this item is worthless without it.

Not all of them. For example, playing music, pedometer, videos, pictures, exercising, and sleeping features, just to give you some examples, all of them are not dependent of the phone so you can use them while not having the phone close to you. Only apps that need live data, like notifications, are the ones that need the phone in order to operate.

Yes, you can connect one or more, or a house full, of "home phones". See answers to other questions and read the manual.What else would you connect to this other than a "home phone"?

For our use, the phone has to be in the cradle at all times. We have to also have the unit plugged into a charger and another connection to use. Therefore, we are pressing the phone, cradle and two cables to our heads when we speak to the outside world. Wilson does have whole home units but they are several hundred dollars. I got the Sleek so we could decide whether we wanted to invest in a whole home unit. So far, the answer is no. Our reception is still poor most of the time.

It's not necessary for use with the case. I don't have one but I don't feel the need because I don't use my phone that often. If you are hard on phones then you probably need one.

No, it is a wall phone with all connection behind the phone. No room for any other connections.

Yes you can also use this device with your cell phone, although I never tried it.

No you don't need your phone with you at all times. Just when you want to sync your information.

Yes I just took mine in and they transferred everything over for free. Pretty decent dumb phone. I refuse to get a smart phone so this is perfect!
