Wireless Home Phone T2000 is designed to operate anywhere within our coverage area and should provide coverage at your location that's consistent with your current Verizon Wireless device experience.

While the Verizon Wireless coverage map indicates expected coverage, you'll need to assess whether the actual coverage at your location is acceptable to you.

The coverage areas shown don't guarantee service availability and may include locations with limited or no coverage. Even within a coverage area, many factors, including your equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather, may impact service. Some coverage areas include networks run by other carriers. The coverage depicted for these areas is based on the carriers' information and public sources, so we can't ensure its accuracy.

For instructions on adjusting the ring settings for your home answering machine, refer to the User Guide provided by the manufacturer.
