Tony Matthews..thank you for all the helpful info. We wanted to discontinue home service with AT&T, will this phone work without landline?

Yes you can. You can download the Instruction Manual and page 21 tells you how to use with cell phone only.

greetingsi live in calgary alberta canadamy service is with telusi disconnected my lan line and used my wifes cell phone to call my cell which was connected via blutoothmy iphone rang via the panasonic and it worked !!hope this helps

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.

Edward,It sounds like you purchased an adequate piece of equipment, but I'd like to know what kind of Internet phone you have - is it a home/landline phone designed to work with VoIP? Those phones would most likely be able to connect directly into a modem/router via Ethernet (RJ45) cable, rather than a standard phone cable.Get back to me with some more details, and I'll try to help you out.EDIT: just saw where Alberto answered this already. If you use a landline a good bit, I would keep it and just search for another router.

Yes, it works independent of any other phones. Just remember that you will need the Panasonic to dial out. Once you get ringing, then open the line with the AT&T; and hang up the Panasonic. Or you can purchase the keypad as an option.

Let me know if you need to connect a landline phone to work. Or if you can use a GSM Chip. Is that we only want to make noise, but if given other functions better.

@J. Qui, it does work without data plan. I have T-Mobile, so can't speak for ATT:Go under settings -> phone -> app. settings -> positioning -> positioning methods and turn off all but 'Integrated GPS'. That way there is no worry it will ever use a network.

My understanding is that Tmobile no loner offers the @home service. It is voice over IP using your internet connection and when it was offered it was a separate item that has nothing to do with your cell service.

Yes- it will work just fine on a landline. Your handset/cordless phone just needs to have a headphone jack.

This phone will not work with a power outage with your cable company or if you had an AT&T landline connection, either. The base transmits to the phone using electricity, so if there is no electricity, it can not transmit. The only phone that might work with a power outage is an old-style cord phone - such as what we had years ago.

I have SimpliSafe for our security. Don't need a land line or an internet connection to have the security system operate as it uses a dedicated cell line for any emergency. The Ooma works excellent as a phone carrier - just need the internet for that phone service. ATT or any local carrier isn't really needed.

I would highly recommend the AT&T; corded phone. Large buttons, easily adjustable volume control, speaker phone function and best of all if the power goes out you can always use this land line phone. Great phone for us seniors!

You need a smarter phone. I am sure that Amazon should have a product for your landline phone.

I have AT&T.; Every other phone, including LG, I have used with my service has worked everywhere I go. This phone did not. This leads me to believe there is a problem with this particular model of phone. I would stay away from it.

You do not need a landline, just a cell tower signal. Read the info on this DB Pro...it says it works with most cell services I think. My service is Verizon.

It will not work with a cell phone. It will not work with the handeset of a cordless phone connected to a landline. It will work when it is plugged into a phone jack on the wall and then into a corded phone or the base of a cordless landline phone. It must also be an "analog" phone, which means that Internet services (VOIP) like Vonage and Comcast Digital Voice will not work. If you have basically the kind of phone service you had it 1980, it will work fine. I also note that when you are programming it, even with the base of a cordless phone, the phone must be "off the hook" while programming. So if you have a cordless phone you need to hear the dial tone while you program the numbers. Finally, note that if you unplug the unit from the phone line, it will lose all the numbers and they will need to be re-entered. It has no battery backup of any sort. But how often does you phone line go dead? Not often for me, so it seems to be an acceptable limitation for me.

It is a GSM phone, so it is currently operating off the AT&T; network. If you look up AT&T;'s service area, you'll know if it will work in your area.

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

I ended up taking mine into a AT&T; store and the guy took about two seconds and had it working. I had a cord plugged into the wrong outlet and was still trying to use the 'house line'...listening for a dial tone. You don't get a dial tone with the cell phone....dumb on my part!
