What kind of phone do need for the comcast version of vonnage?

Question

I can't get dialtone and it's driving me insane. I need to make some calls. I got a uniden 2.4 gigahertz with two handsets, plugged it in, and nothing, no dialtone. it's charged, et al. Plugged into the modem, power, etc. What's going on?

Answer 1

Call comcast, and also, try hitting the factory reset button in the back of the modem.  Its a hole, really, you have to find a safety pin to get to it.

And BTW, its NOTHING like Vonage.  Its just telephone through the cable wire. Vonage actually uses your internet connection.

Answer 2

I would call Comcast to trouble shoot your connection, but It should of worked at least when it was initially set up. If your modem is properly connected to the wall, and the phone is plugged into the telephone slot of the modem you should have a dial tone. Make sure all connections are good and tight. You might also wanna try to reset your modem by totally unplugging it for at least 2 minutes and then plugging it back in. p.s. It is in a way a lot like Vonage as they are both VOIP, it is presented as a service as good and reliable as Regular Telephone. Once you got it going you will be thrilled !
