mp3sattack asked:


There are constant blackouts in my zone (i have UPS for my comp), but i’d like to know some recommendations about cordless phones with battery backup so if there is a blackout i still can use the phone normally. Thanks for your help.

I just got a cordless phone with a battery backup pack and the only place I can find to keep it on is my fridge. So, I wanted to know if there will be any problem to my phone or the batteries if I permanently place it over there.

Kindly let me know the company and also model no. Some are suggesting Panasonic and Beetel. Your opinion please.

Verizon FIOS just replaced my outside NID box as well as inside battery backup box. Now my phone jacks do not work. I have Vonage, so Verizon will not come fix their mistake, even though my phone jacks worked just fine before they replaced the NID. The phone does not work at the NID outside, which I’ve tested. It’s a newer style NID box, with 4 phone connections each having a T (Green) & R (Red) (There are no phone like plugs connected in these 4 connections, nor are there any wires connected in the T & R). There are wires twisted together being Blue & White, Green & White, Orange and White that are not connected to the NID but look like they’re coming from the inside of the house, and then twisted within the NID box. Any suggestions as to which color should go where, or what I need to do to make the phone jacks work?

Thanks!!

backup.The ones with such a back up, continue to function for two to
four hours with out AC power till its in-built battery which is
normally housed within the power adaptor,lasts.But,the real problem

I’m building a small electric vehicle and it needs power. The way I figure it all phone lines should have a battery backup system in case of a power outage. And if so they would most likely be 12V gel cell type. The kind I need. Which also means they would most likely replace them on a regular bases.

Since I’m trying to build this EV with as much recycled material as possible I’d like to get my hands on some of them batteries.

So if you are a Line Technician or know how I could contact one please leave your information in the form of an Answer. Phone number would be great.

If you have access to a database or something find people in ZIP 46371

Thanks a ton if anyone reads this!!!!!!!!

They’re coming to install soon. They offered us the battery back up for $40. I understand that if the electricity goes out the batter will cover from 5-8 hours of phone usage. We definately need it, cause the electric goes out alot.

But my question is this…what if the cable goes out? Sometimes it goes out all by itself. Other times, when the electric goes out, the cable goes with it. Will this battery backup work even if the cable goes out?

THANKS
I usually use a corded phone when the power goes out. And in my area, it happens alot. The cable doesn’t go out as often, but the last two times the power went out, the cable did too.
I tried explaining this question to the guy on the phone, but i dont think he quite understood.

Mitch asked:


Almost every time I make a call people tell me they can barely hear me, my voice is loud and I get frutrated because I start yelling into the phone. Does anyone else have this problem with Comcast Digital Voice Plan? I know for sure it’s not my phone, I have tried more than one phone and the same thing happens.

I think this digital phone service has other issues too….
Like when the electric goes out the battery backup works fine for the cale/phone modem but the service WILL NOT WORK! Comcast told me the 8 hour back up battery will allow me to make phone calls when electric is out.

Overall, I’m very upset with Comcast service as a whole. They are even showing text/graphic ads on their tv guide screen which they never did before. I feel like I’m their guinea pig for testing ways to make them money, cause they sure as heck did not lower my bill when they started pumping ads on screen.

I digress, does anyone have the same problems with the phone service? Did Comcast give a fix

IsaLangAko asked:


My backup is my wireless phone but what if the duration of the power outage is longer (over 24hours), which means battery has not been charged on my cellphone. What then? All my home telephone are wireless handset where the homebase is plugged into the electrical outlet and the phone jack. Why wouldn’t these wireless handset work when there’s a power
outage when it’s always charging when not in use ???

Don P asked:


I’m considering changing my regular home phone service (phone co.) to Cable Telephone (Comcast) or possibly a VoiP service like Skype or Sunrocket.

Comcast says a big advantage of their service is the battery backup which keeps the service available for 8 hours if power goes out. Otherwise I think it’s just the same as having the regular phone service - no special phones, all extentions work, etc.

Skype & Sunrocket are a LOT cheaper, but are they better? Worse? Some questions about VOIP services before I take the plunge:

With VoiP will I totally lose phone service if my power or my internet connection goes out?

Even though we have cable internet, sometimes it is really, really slow. How would that affect a VoiP phone service like Skype?

I’m sure you’d lose service if power fails, or if your computer or modem craps out. Has this been a problem for you?

Do all your existing extentions work? Is sound quality great?

Other advantges or disadvantages?

THANKS!!
