Somebody in a review said your cell can only be linked to this phone if you don't have a landline phone. Is this true?? Thanks

Hi J. Clegg,That certainly wasn't true in my case. I DO have an active Landline phone and linked my iPhone to the Panasonic. The only thing I noticed is that you cannot be on a call using the the cell phone and have a handset CLOSE BY and "on" and trying to also use that handset (like a 3-way call) because you get a loud speaker "feedback" noise. The two devices just need to be apart from each other....(more than 10 feet in my experience).

Hi, no that's not true. I have a land line, and once your cell is paired with the phone system, you have the option to use either. There's a light on the base that turns green when your cell is in range.

I have a landline and I linked my Panasonic phone to two different mobile phones. I set the Panasonic phone to have a different ring for each of them. I also could dial out on either mobile phone through the Panasonic phone, and I could transfer a call from either mobile phone to the Panasonic phone and back again w/o dropping the call. The only thing I could not do was to transfer a landline call to one of the mobile phones. The only major quirk is that when answering a mobile call there is a short delay before you can talk. The delay is about 2 seconds.

No and that review doesn't even make sense. You would purchase this phone because you have a land line. I love it because my cell phone gets very limited reception at my house. So I leave my cell in an area where it gets reception and link it with the blue tooth to this phone and then my 'cell phone' rings on every receiver so I never miss a call because I don't have my cell on me or I am in an area where my cell doesn't get reception. I love this phone.

No, your cell phone is the only thing that rings. I would suggest buying a cordless phone that pairs with your cell phone from Best Buy or other store. They are about $40 for a double handset. You can connect up to three cell phones and a land line if you wish. I have one and it works great, shows missed calls from my cell phone, keeps my contacts once loaded and paired. This phone is in the box in my closet!

Yes, you can use this with two different cell phones and no landline. However, the cell phones connect to the base unit via Bluetooth and so you must keep the cell phones within Bluetooth range of the base unit (10-20 ft).

I actually haven't done this, but I don't know any reason why it wouldn't work. I had landline telephone service (POTS-Plain Old Telephone Service) from the local telephone company (Verizon in my case). I brought a new cell phone and went through the process of rolling over the my landline telephone number to the new cell phone, a process that can take a few days. Once the new cell phone became active with my old number, the landline connection, naturally, went dead because there was no longer a phone number associated with that connection. I then went outside to the telephone network connection box on the side of the house and disconnected my home telephone wiring from the telephone network (an important step!), depending on your home's wiring you may also need to connect wires coming from the house to keep all the RJ-11 ports connected. I then connected the Xlink to the home telephone wiring (just plugged it into one of the RJ-11 ports in the house) and the Xlink now "charges" all the RJ-11 ports around the house (only 3 in my case). With the cell phone connected to the Xlink via Bluetooth any phone (and every phone) that would of worked with my landline service will ring when the cell phone receives an incoming call and can pick up the call. I have noticed that the phones do not start ringing until after the second ring (that is, the caller will hear a ring before your phones actually start ringing), but everything otherwise works just like I was still connected to POTS. It's just a lot less expensive in my case (I'm using prepaid cell phone service for this). Where I believe some people have problems with this is in their home telephone wiring and I would suggest you get someone to help you figure out your wiring if you don't understand basic telephone wiring.

Yes of course it's works without land line, but you won't receive calls to your land line on this device in this case

You don't *need* to use the phone feature. It's optional. But it does need a landline. Cell phones will not work.

Absolutely - you don't need a landline to use this phone - but the answering system and missed call indicator only work with landline - so if you connect it to your cell phone via bluetooth - you'll have to check the cell phone itself for voice mail.

The phone connect to the cell phones through Bluetooth, so there should be no need to keep a land line. When any of the two cell phone rings, it shows cell on the this phone and you click that button rather than the usual on button which is used for land line.

It works with a landline, but mine is connected to a cell phone. Make sure you buy the cell unit...it allows you to connect directly to a cell tower. This unit is a smart device. You don't need a landline to use it.

You do NOT need a land line to use this system. We don't have a land line. You will see a message on the handsets (on the bottom of the display) that reads "Check tel line." Just ignore that. You can connect 2 blue-tooth cell phones.

I have an Red Link and I didn't know you could use it with a land line. I don't have a land line, but again the Red Link is an Internet device that controls the thermostat from a smart phone. You would not need a land line to control the thermostat, but you would need to have a wireless device up and running while you were gone. I travel a lot and have found it extremely reliable. There is also a very comprehensive vacation mode on the thermostat, that takes care of almost all of my concerns without using the smart phone.

You need an Internet connection as it can be connected directly to a USB port on a laptop or desktop computer. Irregardless of your land-line phone service provider you will not lose your service unless you cancel it yourself.

No, a landline is not required. You can use an internet connection....either wired or wireless with a wireless adapter connected.

Yes, you can use the system with cell phones only, and the instructions show how to program it to indicate there is no land line i.e. "cell only". Just don't place the base unit near a cable outlet, I did and there was a lot of static. I moved it away from the cable outlet and the static went away.

yes it can. It has a regular phone jack and is Bluetooth compatible. You can have all your landline and 2 cell phone numbers hooked up to this. Note: you need the base model one since this link is only for an extra add-on unit.

Hi, thanks for asking a question about the AT&T; handset... For the handset you should be able to link it to the main base but not main base to main base... If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask...

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