Weather you had Comcast or Embarq, the line would be connected outside in a phone box someplace on the side of the home or in a box in the back corner of the lot. They must be disconnected for the OOMA to utilize the in home wiring phone system. I have OOMA at two homes and found the best option to be the wireless phone handsets. Panasonic, Uniden, and several others make these sets that have a base station and 3 or 4 additional handsets. Using these the in home wiring system is not used. Plug the base station into the OOMA and place the handsets with the charger base plugged into an outlet and your good to go. Works very well. My voice quality is very good at both homes. These are available at Sam's Club, Costco, Walmart, Best Buy for under $100. I got my last one at Costco with 5 handsets for $49 with a coupon.
