Can this be used without a landline, i.e. just by plugging it into the modem?

Yes! That's why I got it. I love it! You will need to get a Skype phone number though so that others can call you from their landlines or cell phones. You can call gheir customer service. They are very helpful or just sign up through Skype website. I pay $65/year for the subscription. That's my phone bill!

As long as you have a valid IP address, it should work fine. I am not sure about your particular modem, and if it uses DHCP or not.

Yes, I do not use the landline feature, just Skype. It works perfectly fine for me.

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 use this modem with VOIP. You can not plug a telephone directly into the modem - you must have other equipment to do that. In my case, I have an Ooma Telo that plugs into my Internet connection, and the phones plug into it.

It only hooks up to a landline. So I do t see how it can do it over there internet.

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.

Thanks, I have Internet via AT & T, I would think it will work, I do not have a land line phone?

Hi , it is to be used with a wireless router not a modem. . Also , it screws onto the antenna port of a router so without one, it will not work... The answer to your question is no..

Yes you can plug in that unit directly into your modem. Output from modem phone line to input on answering device, then output from answering device into phone input. That should work for you.

It works via bluetooth so unless your landline has bluetooth it will not work.

I'm currently not using it for a Landline phone. However the ARRIS Gateway modem performs great for my internet usage.

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

ACTUALLY, NO! You could use VoIP instead of a landline. Get an OBI box, compatible with Google Voice (create an account and get a phone number in your area code) and connect to your phone and then to your router. Turns a landline phone into a VoIP phone and uses your ethernet router to place calls. No landline required.

It is like a regular cordless phone and nothing else... You can connect it directly to the land line... The base unit will need power outlet.

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.

You can try it because it won't break anything if it doesn't work. You have to have a landline in order to do this.

You would need to connect the modem to a telephone line. So telephone service would be necessary.

You can hook this directly to the modem. However, if you still do not get the signal strength needed, you may need an amplifier. The antenna itself is not powered.

It connects by telephone cord to the wall, yes. It is not a landline, it is a wireless DECT phone, a cordless phone. It has dangerous levels of radio frequency radiation transmitting from it. I bought one and measured it.
