A piece of junk
Didn't work and caused static in the existing phone line. I bought this to get my dish network box connected to a phone line. Needless to say; I am still paying the monthly service fee and now have a useless piece of junk in my closet.

It works pretty good.
The setup was pretty easy. I plugged everything in and it worked - or so I thought. I use this with my Dish Network reveiver. It shows that the phone line is connected but will not dial out to order pay-per-view. That dissapoints me a little. I guess it is possible that it is user error, but I can't find any other instructions on how to corrrect the problem.

Wireless Phone Jack
Got it for my computer, didn't work, wouldn't connect. Got dial tone, ring and then static and message that model could not connect. May be good for other uses.

RCA Wireless Phone Jacks
At first I was hesitant to order this particular phone jack due to some of the negative reviews. I spent quite a bit of time looking in other websites; however, Amazon offered the best deal (as usual) and free shipping. I came to the conclusion that other sites offering other brands also had some negative reviews, so I might as well take a chance with the Amazon link and save the shipping while I was at it. ;)
Other reviews warned to read the instructions closely and to follow them, which I did. I needed the phone jack in order to hook up a telephone line to the back of my DVR Dish Network receiver. This would save me $5 per month on my bill if they could access the DVR via a phone line. I plugged it in per the instructions; I put the main unit in the bedroom wall where I already had a phone jack. Then I placed the other part in the living room where the DVR resides. Amazingly, the signal went thru several walls and furniture. I called Dish Network on my cell phone so they could check the phone line on the DVR and it worked perfectly.
Needless to say, I'm very happy with the quality of the RCA phone jack, it was very easy to install, just like they claimed and my husband was glad to not have dealt with the installation, since I did it. Another great buy from Amazon. :)

Phone over powerline
Nowhere in the product description does it say that this device will only work over the same phase of power lines. If the same phase is not available in both locations that you wish to connect, forget it.
