Make sure you have adequate power supply. I did not receive one so I had to go to Radio Shack. Need cable from DSL/Broadboard green jack in modem to phone jack in wall. My "wall" is connection to AT&T DSL only (no telephone). Need ethernet cable from one of yellow jacks on modem to ethernet jack on computer (desktop for me). To effectively get it to work you'll have to call AT&T to get connected. They will talk you through it. It will take awhile. Maybe 30-45 minutes to do total set up.

Yes you do: if you have a house phone you will need an adapter (and filter)that has two entries, one for your home phone and one labeled DSL

You can run a line from a phone jack. I mounted the phone on the wall and ran the cable. I have phone service through my cable company. Works great. They give about a 6 foot phone cable with the phone.

Did you put the batteries in? Are you sure the phone jack works? Do you have another phone you can use to test the jack?

forget it. This portable phone jack does not work under any circumstances. I need a phone jack to use for my fax machine. Can not get to work at all, and being a computer scientist, I should be able to figure this out. Tried to return it, but it is not returnable.

No, it does not plug into my phone base. It plugs into the handset. My phone being cordless, has a port (hole) in the side of the phone (handset) that I plug into. In this way, I can plug the headset into the the portable phone, make a call, toss the phone in my pocket, and my hands are free to do housework, sewing etc without holding the phone.

I did not have to connect my phone to the device or the device to a jack. Purely a bluetooth unit. Hope that helps. Full disclosure though, per my review, I was not happy with the item.

The headphone jack is securely mounted. I did not have any problems with phone connection

Hi Judy, no it plugs into your normal phone jack. You can use it with internet phone services but you will need the interface box like Ooma, etc etc. Regards

I do not know if the headset needs to be plug in to the phone jack. I do not use one. Have you tried the directions?

Yes, It works very well. It is good for up to 12 to 15. It has a standard phone jack.

Hi. I don't use this on a regular basis, having bought it only as a back-up in case our electricity goes down and we cannot use our wireless router. However, I believe that what I did was plug the USB part into my laptop, one end of the phone cord into the adapter, and the other end of the phone cord into our telephone wall jack. It came with a relatively short cord; I replaced that with a longer one so that it could reach the wall.

You absolutely do NOT need to plug this phone into an electrical outlet in addition to the phone jack. These folks who are saying that you do are wrong. I own 2 of these.

Yes, you just unplug the headset on the phone and then plug this one to the jack. Notice that it is a cheap make (made in China); the one I ordered plugged to the phone, I could hear people on the other side of the line, but they could not hear me. At the end I had to have a refund. It is worth a try, because the company are very good at solving the issues (they sent me a replacement, and when it did not work either, I had a full refund)

Hello Kelly, I bought this item (and returned it) because I thought it was a telephone. It is not a phone, it is a handset...you may have realized this, I did not. If I recall, it was a very simple piece of equipment and would probably not have had a jack...
