Exactly how is this device used. Does it replace your landline? How do you place calls to others with regular landlines and vice versa?

It can be used to replace a landline if you subscribe to a service that allows calls to other landlines or cell phones. One connects the device to a router and a phone to it. One configures a service through the Web browser and makes calls like a regular phone. There are lots of SIP providers that are compatible with this device.

You can make voice commands to call people and answer calls. The led display lights up with who's calling. There are also Android apps that create even more versatility for such things. Works great in every aspect I've needed it for. Battery life is superb as well.

Yes! it's meant to be used outside your pbx system on a regular landline!! Still in use after more than a year,:)Lawson ( in the previous post) points out the simplicity of installation and basic tips for operation. Thanks Lawson!

First, this device will only work when you receive a call. It will not work when you place calls -- it is a design flaw of the device. If you are listening to the line in, and a phone call comes in, it will switch over to the phone.

we use it as our primary landline. It has Bluetooth so you can use your cell for phonebook or cell calls. You do not have to blue tooth if you don't want to.

You need the landline connected for 911 calls only. For all other calls you can use Skype without a regular landline connection.

Does anyone know if this system's autodialer would work over a cellular phone connection instead of a traditional landline connection? I would like to use the system in conjunction with a Phone Labs Dock-N-Talk cellphone docking station as a stand alone connection and not have it tied in to my home telephone system. It would add another level of security in that a cut of the home telephone line outside the house would not affect the system at all.

A piece of cake. Once call has been connected on both ends, anyone else up to number of phones connected to the base station can hit either talk or speakerphone and all can hear and speak as if in the same room. Caveat Emptor: Phones using speakerphones need to be separated physically by at least 20 feet to prevent howl feedback! Works fine and I often use all my phones at once especially with family calls to family. Everyone gets to join in

This device allows use of a regular analog phone (none VoIP phone). You would NOT need a VoIP phone with this device. That is the point of this device. I hope this helps.

No. This device connects to your internet router, creating a circuit for your regular land line telephone to plug into. Skype has it's own application and/or browser plug-in, and doesn't need this device. I use Callcentric as the virtual telephone company. Pay as you go and much cheaper than other offerings.

You had to have Caller ID with your service provider and costs will vary. Other than that there isn't a charge to use it, just plug it into the phone line and let it do it's thing. Everything works as advertised.

If you select another unit and call it, it becomes voice-activated so that the callee can answer from across the room. This mes and the system reverts to the default (not voice activated) in a minute or so.

I have not used this product to call other skype accounts or received any calls on this skype phone. This skype phone is used primarily to call family and friends on landlines to a specific foreign country. I was not able to make calls to cellphones to that country.

No land line is used at all. This product brings in the cellular signal outside and replicates it inside and vice versa.

Your question was answered below, now I use one of my bases in a house that does not have a landline and have connected it directly to a Magic Jack Plus that is connected to the internet and to the phone located close to my router, I'm calling everyone for free in US and Canada and only pay the Magic Jack service, I all have my BB and I-Phone connected through blue tooth and have 2 additional extensions plug in the Kitchen and Bed room and can also answer calls placed to my cell phones with any of these 3 extensions I can get too while my cells are charging in another room, works great for me and love the phone(s).

Yes, the phones automatically conference and multiple people in your household can talk to an outside caller at the same time. We do this often when family calls from out of town. You just push the talk button and you've joined the call too!

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.
