and home office

to two landlines

(or one landline and Skype

™

)

Tel-Lynx

provides you the

freedom to handle all your calls and text messages

throughout your home.

When

Tel-Lynx

laptops, PCs, and tablets,

you'll have even

more flexibility with calls and texts.

You can quickly and easily start making and receiving phone calls with

Tel-Lynx

Then take your time to learn about its many features, and to decide which ones
you’ll use in your home or home office.

telephone into. Connection to a second landline requires

TLC Plus

Guardian Plus
