Internet gateway

Will the internet gateway support my current land line. At present the land line works fine through Optimum cable modem, will it work through T-Mobile internet gateway.

    Again, thanks for further details and clarification. In that case i rather port my land line number to Google Voice and buy a one time device Obihai OBi200 1-Port VoIP Adapter with Google Voice.

    Before you do, I would check with here or TMO support to make sure it’s compatible with TMO home internet. The routers are not configurable beyond basic wifi settings. TMO promotes Ooma for $9.95 per month so pretty sure Ooma works.

    If you have your phone plugged into your Optimum cable modem, you are using VOIP. 

  • I am not using any VOIP solution or product (Magic Jack etc.). My land line is connected to Optimum cable modem, and it works fine. I want to know how my land line will work with T-Mobile internet gateway.

    What VOIP solution are you using? I have read on this forum of at least one person who was having trouble with Magic Jack.

    In theory, it shouldn't be a problem. The good news is that if this is a new installation, you have two weeks to try it out before you have to commit to your first month’s charges.
