Unfortunately, you could only do this if you used an internal numbering system such as extensions. You would still need a live phone line offered by either a standard phone company or a VoIP system to obtain an incoming phone line that people could dial into. However, once you have that, you could assign a different extension to each phone in the house, assuming you have phones that can differentiate between the extensions and accept calls accordingly.

You cant. You need a landline to get DSL since its connected through the phone lines. You need to get Cable instead which is basically the same price and its so much faster. Try going to http://www.comcast.com or http://www.charter.com and see if they have service in your area. If you get cable, you dont need to have a phone line and you can get VOIP service instead...which is SO much cheaper than a regular phone service.

You will not need to get phone service, but you will need to get either cable, DSL or satelitte high speed access. Whichever service you select the provider will either let you use a modem for free or charge a small amount each month. You will also need a wireless router and wireless cards for each pc you want to connect.....or you can hope that one of your new neighbors has an unsecured wireless connection and then all you would need is a wireless card :P

It really depends what you want from your cell phone service.  To tell you my personal experience, I live on hills in a Los Angeles sub-urban neighborhood and I've used Sprint, Cingular, T-Mobile, and Verizon.  Cingular and T-mobile had the worst reception. Calls get disconnected on average once every 20 minutes.  Sprint has weak reception in my neighborhood but has clear calls and few disconnects.  Sprint also have very good customer service.  Verizon Wireless is the most expensive but by far the best in quality, connection, and reliability.\n\nFor students who want fad phones and low priced plans, I would recommend Cingular or T-Mobile.  They also offer the best and trendest phones. Note that the trade-off is connection quality.  I would recommend Verizon for older adults and business people who prefer the reliability.  Hope it helps.  Good luck and have a nice day!

No.  But if you ditch the land line, then the DSL vendor may charge you extra.  I use Speakeasy.net for DSL service and I DO NOT have a landline phone - Speakeasy charges me an extra $6/month for what they call "onelink" service.

Whether you can get DSL depends on which switch your phone winds up connected. \n\nYour neighbors could have DSL -- even if they are in the same building, next door down -- and you could not, because your phone is connected to a switch that can't handle DSL, while theirs is.\n\nIt's difficult to believe that Verizon could have switches so old that they can't handle DSL still in service in Manhattan, but it's apparently true.\n\nYou may find that if other people in your building can have DSL service, that asking Verizon to install a brand-new line would work. Of course, that will prove expensive. Or, if you are really, really lucky, simply asking them to give you a new number may move you to a DSL-capable switch.\n\nMy brother uses TW Cable service in NYC and is very happy with it, as an alternative.

Skype charges for calls to a regular phone number.  I don't think anyone else has risen to challenge Skype in terms of free service, but the field of VOIP is wide open if someone wanted to be the low cost provider!

I've downloaded skype, and no, it cannot call a landline for free. For that, you have to purchase skype credits. But it does allow you to use a mic with a chatting program, but alot of IM programs, including MSN messanger, already do that.\n\nI'm not so sure you can call a landline for free over the internet.

Payphone I don't know about, for sure.  But a home phone yes.  My sister called a few times here a while back about a problem she was having and asking to talk to certain officers because we know some cops and she didnt want talk to just anyone but they sent someone over anyway and she didnt tell them where she was caling from.

The most common one is of course Vonage.  I have Earthlink TrueVoice service along with Earthlink Highspeed Internet, and I absolutely love it!\n\nIt uses your existing phone, but it gets configured to work through your cable internet connection, so you have to have broadband internet for it to work.\n\nThe service I have costs me $25 for unlimited local and long distance calling to anywhere in the US.  I also have the option of paying $15 for 500 local and long distance minutes.  Not bad considering my other phone company was going to charge me $55 for unlimited local and long distance.  \n\nSo, if you like broadband internet, it's worth it, and you should still have enough money left over with the savings to be able to afford a cell phone, if you want it.
