Does this device work without voice service; just as a normal cable modem? May add voice down the road but not now.

The modem has phone capability buty cable company, cox, said the modem was not compatible with their service so they wouldn't activate the modem.

No. It takes uses your Internet provider (comcast) to connect to a voip service

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.

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.

It is not connected over VOIP. This device is basically a cell phone in a box. It is possible that your cellular phone has poor reception or has reception problems. Or just that the home phone device has a better antenna.

This device only works with a corded phone. It connects to a phone base at one end and handset at the other. If you don't have a traditional landline phone with your TV/Internet/Phone Cable Service, you won't be able to use the device.

Hi, I have a Netgear router and this was working fine with the existing VOIP phone. I am currently trying to connect to the Uniden phone to the router and the linksys gizmo. Do u think this will work? I am currently not hearing any dial-tone on the handset.

no, it only works with a computer USB port. I suggest you call Vonage to see if they have any deals to get their VoIP box for free. I have had one for about 2 years and it works great.

Technically, yes, you can use this device without a modem. This device will not, however, provide access to the internet. If you have several devices that you want to all talk to _each other_ then this would do that. I suspect you mean, "Can I use this device to connect to the internet without a modem" then then answer is no..It's a subtle and somewhat technical difference, but it might help someone in the future...

If you have VoIP you must have high speed internet. This is the wrong device to use. You need an Ethernet adapter. They are also available on amazon.

No this is for delivering Dial Tone only... It need a internet modem to function and an VOIP provider.. If you need help call

The Router/Gateway itself does not have a (RJ11) phone jack so it won't be able to provide VoIP services. If you have a service like Vonage or BasicTalk or other provider with a seperate modem that can connect to your local network to provide VoIP service for you than that would work but so does every other router. If you are receiving phone/VoIP service for TWC for example than this router will not work. Don't quote me on this but i believe that TWC also has a device/modem that can be used independently on any local network port in case you do have a modem/router/gateway that does not provide VoIP service like this Netgear CG3000D.

Hi Kristine this modem has only x1 Ethernet WAN port, x1 power port, and x1 CATV (coaxial cable input). It does not have any telephony ports, so it is not a telephony modem. This modem will however support Vonage, MagicJack and Skype, and all other ethernet/internet based Voice Over IP applications, like someone else already mentioned. However you cannot plug in a RJ-11 phone cable into this modem and use it; in other words: you cannot use this modem if you have phone service with your Cable company. In that respect, you will need a telephony modem. Hope this helps!

I have cable phone service and it works with my phone no problem. Just plug and go.

I assume your referring to the land line. No I did not experience this problem, but only had my land line connected for a short time before cutting the cord on comcast digital voice service.

I have bought several of these and none have come pre-configured with a land line. They are very configurable for various VOIP services. We have our own Head end VOIP co-managed service through our local phone provider which makes it easier to get phone extensions since we have a designated block of numbers made available to us. I don't recall the name but there is a VIOP service provider that advertises on TV that appears to be using the same device.
