do you have to have a land line to keep fast excess?

You need a land line to have DSL because it needs the phone line connection to connect to the ISP.\n\nYou dont need a land line for Cable.

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.

It depends on the phone company and the service you have. I have an unlimited long distance service no calls show up . It is with Bell south. On most bills 800 &888 calls do not appear either . If you can't find out use a pay phone or a friends phone. Hope you get the help you are looking for.

It is possible to use this sevice without broadband, although the call quality is likely to be poor (you may experience the audio breaking up quite a bit). The faster your internet connection (ie: broadband), the better the call and audio quality.

what do u mean "without a phone line"?\nu can improve your reception by making sure there is is as less as possible between transmitter and receiver. u could buy a wifi booster like  http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48744&doy=21m11&C=SEO&U=strat15\n\nit will increase your reception of around 30% more....

I would assume a phone with a "redirect" on it. Where a caller calls your landline, if no one answers it gets redirected to your phone. This usually requires you to buy a new landline phone.\n\nIt won't be instant but will do what you want.

as long as the new phone line is homerunned (run back to the nid instead of daisy chained off another existing outlet) you shouldn't see any difference in speed.

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.

try DSL - it can be as fast as broadband cable and you only need an active phone line.  I'm currently on DSL and since we alreay use a phone here but don't have cable, it was the most practical thing to do.  In my apt, I have no landline but cable so THAT was the best thing for me to do :)  If you have Verizon phone, I would recommend their DSL.  Their support is good and they are actually very fair.  We ended up getting crappy DSL for a few months so we got 50% off.  My friend has ATT and his connection speed decreases after an hour.  Go with Verizon DSL if you can.

Unfortunately, yes. The FCC ruled in March that utilities commissions cannot force carriers to provide "naked DSL" (i.e. DSL without a voice landline.) What a crock ruling! The FCC botched this one badly.

You don't say why you don't have a phone line, probably doesn't matter, but I don't think you can use a regular fax machine without some kind of phone hookup through the wall.\n\nWith Vonage and some other companies, you can get phone service through your computer and also use your fax machine, but their device must also be hooked up to your computer and to phone jacks in the house/office wall.\n\nI hope you find a solution to this question.

If you are using a different land line...then your computer needs to have a dial up number for that line as well as the one you usually use..

Yes you can, vice versa.  So if you get a call at home but you are not there, it will get forward to your cellphone.\n\nLook in your manual that came with your phone for for instructions or call your phone company for directions. \n\nit's easy setup.

not unless u have a telephone network setup not via the standard telephone lines, so the simple answer would be No since u would need some good hardware to do what your suggesting.

IDT.  Call land lines, not cell phones.
