How can you use phone at same time as pc?

Question

one phone line need to work both at same time

Answer 1

If you have a cell phone, you can forward your calls to that while you are on the Internet. (Dial Up.) You would have to order 'Call Forwarding' from your phone company. Works great. You can use the phone to call out, and use the computer, and incoming calls go to the cell phone. Turn it off when you are through.

Answer 2

Hi Dew,

With DSL service you can be on line and the phone works just like normal.

If you are using dial up you can't use the phone while the computer is on line.

Answer 3

If youre using dial up, you need to get another line or get another form of ISP such as DSL, cable or satillite. If you have high speed internet, you can use it "VOICE OVER IP" (VOIP) by such companies such as SKYPE and use it for a phone. If you have DSL, it uses the same phone line, but at a much higher frequency and you can use the same line for both. Overall either strategy COULD save you some money.
