I bought an Arris G34 to connect to Xfinity. Xfinity tells me that I can't get telephone voice service with it. Please advise.

So, my question is, can the G34 be connected to Xfinity voice?

They’re right. the G34 doesn’t have telephone service. 

options?

  1. return it and get one compatible with telephone service
  2. subscribe to a voip service so you can get a landline through your ethernet. (tends to be cheaper anyway)
  3. get rid of the land line. Most people have cell phones anyway.

Thanks for your response.  I bought the G34 for $50 on eBay.  It can’t be returned.  We both have cellphones, and I could care less about the telemarketers calling us on the landline.  Best wishes!

$50 on ebay is pretty darned cheap. Great score!

Plus you save money on not having a landline. Props all around
