Does the landline phone used need to have a connection to say Verizon? Will I be able to cancel my Verizon service?

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.

The landline use will only require high speed internet connection. If Verizon provides you with your internet service; then the answer is yes! However, if you are talking of Verizon as in your telephone voice service provider- the answer is no! You DO NOT need any other phone service for you to use the device as your landline service.. Remember this is a VOIP device.. thus Voice Over Internet Protocol .. you will be having your phone service through the internet... I hope this helps!

No this does not connect to verizon. This is the magic jack voip service. All you need for this to work is an internet connection. It is in no way related to verizon. I got this to have a landline when I switched carriers however. Works great easy to setup.

No, you don't need to have a connection to verizon. All you need to do is hook the magicjack to your computer. Hope this answers your question.

You would be able cancel your Verizon phone service. All you need is reliable Internet access since majic jack is a VOIP service essentially

You do not need a land line. I dont have one and it works fine. I can even fax by scanning my document and subscribing to a digital fax service.

Yes, this is how your system is connected to the telephone system. Because of this, when you are using your landline to make a phone call, the machine will remind you that the machine cannot work while the line is busy.

I can't even tell you because my system is not set up because I don't have a landline phone. I didn't realize that I needed a landline in order for it to work Sorry

The Renny requires a blue tooth connection. So it would not work with a landline phone.

No. You have to make sure that you call Verizon when you activate your phone and tell them you do not want a DATA plan on it. Be sure to be very specific and tell them more than once.

Thats correct. You can not use the device with a landline to make an outgoing call.

The phones will work without a landline as long as they are connected by Bluetooth to a cell phone. I've been happy with mine so far.

Hi! You can hook up the BASE of this phone to a regular land line (with normal telephone jack), and then the VOIP841 handset can be used to make normal landline calls. You can switch between land line and Skype Internet calling.If you are asking if you can use another cordless phone with this product instead of the supplied cordless phone, the answer is NO.If you are already subscribing to caller ID on your landline service, then YES this phone will show you the caller ID. But not if you are not subscribing to caller ID.

Excellent question. Like you, I hope to get rid of my landline and still use the Panasonic with my cell(s). I tested it out, just to make sure it would work. I disconnected the base unit from the phone jack and was still able to make and receive calls through the bluetoothed cells. One step closer to getting rid of the landline.

I don't know if this answers the question but we don't have a land line any more, we switched to OOMA several months ago and this system is working fine with that service.

IT's not prepaid you will need to make a deposit on the service, you are not get a landline but more of a cell phone that stays home, but you can take it with you and plug it in anymore and use the phone so long as you have service. the service part i dont know anything about, after calling finding out it was prepaid, and then on top i need to give them a deposit to have a phone i didnt sign up for. sorry if i wasnt any help. :D

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.

No, you do not need a landline for this phone. It works via your computer and WIFI router. If you wanted a second line for your home this would also work. This is a Skype phone. We also have Skype on our IPAD so we are able to have visual calls with our grandson. The cost per month is $10.00 regardless of how many domestic or International Calls you place. The sound is very clear.

Yes, a phone line is required in order for the system to dial out. My recommendations would be simple talk, vonage or Verizon's home phone connect.

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

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.
