HOW IT WORKS

The Wireless Home Phone Base uses Consumer Cellular 
service to provide phone service to your cordless or corded 
home phone(s). Place it anywhere in your house where you 
have a wireless signal. It does not require the use of a home 
phone wall jack like traditional home phone service. 

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your device works exclusively with Consumer Cellular service 
and does not use home phone wall jacks.

Your device should be located:

• 

Where you have a strong cellular signal, typically near a 
window or outside wall. Signal strength may vary in different 
parts of your home

• 

Near an electrical wall outlet 

Select which phone you will use with the  
Wireless Home Phone Base:

• 

A cordless phone system with multiple handsets should be 
used to place phones throughout your home

• 

If using a single, corded phone, unplug it from the wall jack
