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.

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.

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

Interesting. My land line was with ATT then I switched it over to Optimum. I do not remember what Optimum did to convert it to VOIP, I am presuming that ATT land line was not VOIP it was copper wire.

If I am on VOIP then how to I connect my land line through T-Mobile internet gateway. If I get a RJ45 to RJ11 jack converter and plug my land line into the internet gateway, will it work.

T-Mobile technical support team member said that my phone needs to support IPv6 for it to work with T-Mobile internet gateway. How can I confirm whether my phone supports IPv6.

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.

No, there is no phone jack on the TMO internet gateway. If you want to keep your current home "land line", you will need to buy a VOIP device like Ooma or Magic Jack along with their monthly fees.

Of course you could just cancel your home land line altogether and save a few bucks a month.

Hola Cali,

Thanks for the clarification. My current land line is connected directly to the Optimum cable modem and it works fine. T-Mobile internet gateway has a RJ45 jack, I can buy a RJ45 male to RJ11 female (phone line jack) adapter/converter and them plug my land line into T-Mobile internet gateway. I believe it should work.

No it will not work, there is no voice service on TMO home internet. It is data only. Yes, it does have a SIM with a phone number but that is only because the data is via cell service which must have a phone number. The RJ45 jacks are only for wired ethernet connections. You have to use a VOIP device like I suggested above.

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.
