Can i use my ipad2/iphone or touch to interface with a home phone landline?

My house phone has broken and i was wondering if there is a docking device that can be interfaced with one of my apple products to make it utilise my landline.

If you have an iPad, you're more than welcome to get a VoIP client (Google Voice, anyone?) which will let you make calls...and as we all know, iPhones can make calls.
Home phones are getting cheaper and cheaper, so I don't see why you couldn't just fix the home phone for ~$20.
Now, if you wanted to ditch your landline and make your iPhone act like a landline, I'd check this dock out: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/desk-phone-dock-review/

  • Can I use my China iPhone 4S (MD242CH) in Canada with a Canada MicroSIM card

    I live in China and have a China iPhone 4S Model MD242CH currently subscribed to China Mobile. I will be going on vacation in Canada and I want to be able to take my iPhine 4S with me and change out my China Mobile MicroSIM card for a Canadian carriers MicroSIM card (Rogers Wireless, Fido Solutions, Bell Mobility, Telus Mobility, ???). It would also be nice if the 3G (or 2.5G GPRS/EDGE) works. What about my iPhone 4S WiFi ???
    Advise from anyone who HAS DONE THIS would be best but I will take subjective advise as well.
    Brian

    If your phone is officialy unlocked, it will work just fine using any of those official iPhone carriers in Canada. WiFi is WiFi, doesn't have anything to do with what carrier you use.

    I am going overseas to Singapore how can I use my ipad2 and my iPhone without it costing me a fortune. I am in Australia

    iPhone - Locating wireless carriers
    The above will provide carriers in Singapore that you can use. You would get the SIM card from the carrier. Of course if you are somewhere that has WiFi service then you won't need the cellular connection.

  • Can I use unlocked(simfree) iPhone 5 of Hong Kong's one in India?

    can I use unlocked(simfree) iPhone 5 of Hong Kong's one in India?

    Because iPhone warranty/support has always been limited to country of original purchase(except for the EU). This has been true since the original iPhone was released in 2007. I can guarantee you that you will not receive any warranty or support for any iPhone, in India, that was not purchased from an official source in India. Even if you want to pay, they won't touch the phone. All they'll do is laugh & hand it back to you.
    Don't believe me? Try & see for yourself, but don't come back here complaining.

  • I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

    I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

    If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
    However, you may be able to get some photos by:

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

  • If I can always use a passcode instead of Touch ID, how does Touch ID add security?

    Am I missing something?  Even if I have Touch ID enabled, I can always use my passcode instead of Touch ID.  So, how does Touch ID *ADD* security?
    I can understand always requiring passcode IN ADDITION to Touch ID at particularly sensitive moments (e.g. changing security), but by allwoing passcode to bypass Touch ID, it seems to me that Touch ID adds convenience but not security.
    What am I missing?

    Does anyone know if Apple (or any of the iPhone vendors, such as Verizon, whom I have used) has claimed that Touch ID ADDS security? If so, can someone explain to me why this is not mis-represenation?  I don't mean to be inflammatory, but the dictionary definition of misrepresentation is "the action or offence of giving a false or misleading account of the nature of something" (from Google).
    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Answering questions about what companies have or have not said and the legality of those statements is way outside the purview of this forum. Additionally, speculating on Apple's policies is specifically a violation of the Terms of Use of this forum.
    However, I think the first paragraph of this overview from Apple gives a good idea of way "convenience" is nothing to belittle. If it encourages people to use passwords who would not otherwise do so, those people's phones are certainly more secure.

    If you mean connect the iPod to the iPhone via Wifi hotspot, then yes. Just go the "settings", then "Wifi" and select you iPhone and enter the passcode and your in.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • Can we use 1 computer w/1 Apple ID, but with 2 different iPhones?

    My husband is getting his first iPhone for Christmas, and I'm wondering if we can both use the same computer and same iTunes account for our syncing?  Right now, he has an iPod, and we're sharing the same iTunes Apple ID, and it's working okay for us.  We just pick what apps and music, etc we want on our respective devices. What I'm most curious about are the contacts.  He doesn't need/want my contacts and I don't need/want his.  How can we use the same iTunes account and ID, yet essentially have two different phones and all that entails? (Contacts, calendar, etc?)  Is it possible?  Or should I set him up with his own entirelly on a different computer?

    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like with one computer.
    Each will only sync what you select.
