Thats not EXACTLY correct either. Not trying to correct @RogersDarrell 🙂
Its just probably not technically 'supported' and if you needed to trouble shoot may have to plug a device into the unit direct.
Let me go back to you original questions:
1) You can technically use the jacks around the house. Generally in most scenarios, as long as the house was wired correct, should all be connected to a central demark. By taking the unit, and plugging a phone cord out of one of the output, and into one of the phone jacks.. it will then make it essentialy like an extension. You plug then a phone in any port in another room.. and it travels from the unit, to the demarc, and back out to the other phone.
Again, should work fine, may just not be 'supported' per say... its the way my wired rogers home phone is set up 🙂
2) I know SOME of the older wireless internet modems did have a phone included in them.. none of the newer ones do that i am aware. You would have to get them independantly.
3) That i could not tell you, not USING the service myself... but as much i would say as the general cellular service being down.

To answer question #2
I am going to assume your are referring to "Mobile Internet" which is provided via a Cellphone Tower. Visit our website here for our Mobile Internet options. Yes you can have a Wireless Home phone and Mobile Internet as long as we have cellphone coverage in your area and you are outside of the Rogers Cable footprint.
If you are referring to hard-wired internet, visit our website here and enter your postal code to check the availability.
Hope this helps

Hi @rting
Could you clarify what you mean by Rogers Home Service?
Our service is advertised as "Rogers Wireless Home Phone", keyword being Wireless. This product does not relate to other Home Services Rogers provides such as Internet, Mobile Internet, Cable TV, Wired Home phone. So you cannot get internet with 'Rogers Wireless Home Phone" or connect it to any modems/routers. It has an antenna which it receives the connection from a Cellphone Tower and is used only for voice calls.
It a completely separate product, which is intended for people for in an area where Rogers cannot provide 'Wired Home Phones"
Hopefully this clarifies things a bit

Wow, that's very interesting @Gdkitty . Great possible alternative! It has me quite curious now.
I understand the technical details about your post so I understand how you came to this, but I have never heard of anyone actually attempting this with the Wireless Home Phone. As mentioned, correct this is not "supported" or yet even confirmed by Rogers to be working on the Wireless Home Phone.
@rting Test it out, Let the community know if it worked!

@RogersAsif Well its really no different than the same setup, on the regular rogers home phone.. which is the same thing.. a phone outlet out of the back of the modem.
The few setups i know of with RHP, Even when the modem is at the elec box, etc.. usually the rogers rep put in a phone outlet box there, which is wired into the demarc. phone cable between the box and the modem. So you could plug in ANY wall outlet, is the exact same thing 🙂

Yeah, just to expand/break this down.
If you live in an area with CABLE service (can get cable TV, etc). You have 3 core services available.
TV, Cable Internet, and Rogers home phone (cable based).
Each service is indipendant, and each has their OWN modem (or well cable boxes for tv). Each service even on the back end is indepenandant.. so bar an overall signal problem to your house.. say TV can be down on the back end, but phone/net still work.
There is also rogers MOBILE ineternet.
This you can get.. wherever you want, regardless of if you can get cable or not. There are different ways.. it can be tied with your cellular data, on its own, etc.
Obviously is mobile.. could take to your cottage, etc.
BUT for regular home use.... UNELSS its your only option (that you DO NOT have cable service there).. its ALOT more expensive to run.. your cost / gb is much higher in the end.
(i beleive you can add your own router, etc to it.. not 100% sure on the newer devices)
Rogers Mobile home phone... is newer.
This is ONLY availible to people who are in an area which has NO cable services.
It should be able to be connected as described above.
you TECHNICALLY could move this wherever there is cellular service...
BUT, remember bout calling areas, etc. Because its in another local, its number will remain a its regular, etc.
You possibly could incur INCOMING long distance, etc (depending on what the plan is set on it)
