I'm moving to a garage apartment that doesn't have a phone jack. As of now, I have AT&T coming to put one in for a whopping $150. Does anyone know of a smaller company or even an individual who would charge less and still do a fine job??? Also another question: I'm going to have one phone jack. I have a home telephone and DSL. I have a DSL/telephone splitter. Thats fine and dandy. Problem is, I also have DISH network and they require it to always be hooked up to a phone jack 24/7, if not, there is a $7 fee per month. So could I plug a telephone/telephone splitter into the TELEPHONE input of the DSL/telephone splitter. So I will have: Dish network/phone plugged into a 2way telephone splitter. Then that splitter plugged into a DSL splitter, and that plugged into the jack. Im just trying to avoid getting 2 of those jacks.
Latter one--that sounds like it would work without a problem. Another solution would be to have a 2-line jack installed into the wall when you get it done...and just have the same line (your only line) wired to each of the 2 jacks.
lol wow.... sounds almost too good to be true. I move at the end of this month, I should go buy it tomorrow and test it at my current residence to see if it'll work.
hmmm.... how the hell can the phone compnay connect your phone # to a wireless phone jack like that? Seems impossible to me but I don't know nothing.
That's what I wasn't sure about. One of my friends didn't have a phone jack in his room so used this. But of course, there was a phone connection to the house and it shared the same line. If you buy it now it will definitely work because you currently have a phone line. I imagine this garage apartment doesn't have an existing connection. There's no harm in trying it out. Just buy it before you move in, and if it doesn't work you can always return it.
It won't. You have to have a phone line first before you can use an extension. Trust me....I went through it because I needed a phone line for my DISH network. The remote jacks work pretty good but you need to reset them periodically...but you have to have a phone line first to extend off of it.
