Medtronics carelink

Cardio Dr has prescribed a carelink for home monitoring my pace. A friend who uses one asked if I did not use Cableone phone service. I do. He advises the monitor will not work except on the standard traditional landline. Is this correct? The Medtronic tech said nothing about this, nor did Dr, nor did Cableone. Any comment would be appreciated.

Your info is correct, carelink will not work on cable phone. I was considering cable phone, so called medtronic and they said it would not work

This is true

you need a landline for it to work.

I have a cable phone from Time-Warner and it works just fine.
The only way you will find out for sure if it works is when you call in the reading.
I assure you that a cell phone will not work, but my cable phone does.

I was going to change from Verizon landline to Comcast Tripleplay but Comcast said that it would not work because it is digital. I know you can't use cell phone. I am going to a defibrillator/pacemaker seminar given by Medronics and the other pacemakers companies the the Brigham and Women's Shapiro Cardiovascular Center in Boston, MA. It is from 8:00AM-12:PM. They service breakfast. There are numerous individual seminars as well a a guest speaker.. The seminar will be about whst to do when you dedibrillator hits etc., all kinds of questions can be asked of the Nurse Pratitioners ect. Does anyone have a question I can ask then get back to you with the answer?
