Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I got this for my mom (age 95) who recently moved into a retirement home and wanted to keep a landline. I was wary of how polarized the reviews are on this (love/hate, not much in the middle) but this ended up being the best option given the implosion of landline service from the local telephone company. The good side: we got it home and plugged in and it did work right away, for placing and receiving calls. She hasn't had any of the issues other reviewers report, of calls dropping randomly or bad sound quality. The bad side: the local "world of wireless" store, while an authorized Verizon dealer, had almost ZERO knowledge on how these work and they didn't keep any inventory so we had to order and wait almost 2 weeks to get it. After a couple weeks of use, we realized the unit was not showing when there are voicemail messages - there's supposed to be an icon with # of messages on the (tiny) screen. The retrieval method is really cumbersome (must use the phone to navigate menu and listen to robot voice prompts, like 1990's phone banking), the display does nothing to help with that. I found a diagram on your site showing the menu tree for all the features and it says 'personal options' has a toggle to turn the voicemail message notification on/off -- don't know why it wouldn't default to 'on' -- but when I followed the menu steps in, the prompts (and functions) don't match up to the menu diagram. So I called the place we bought this from and they said they have no more access to current docs or tech support than the average customer. In the end, I'm bypassing the clumsy voicemail in the LVP2 by setting a regular (1990's era) phone machine to pick up on 4 rings, intercepting the call before the LVP2 sends it to its voicemail. Some designer got happy with the look of this thing but it's like they did no usability testing, and there's just no excuse for changing the menu sequences without giving people access to updated documentation. I checked yes on "would you recommend to a friend" because the basic phone function works, but would also caution anyone to be aware of the shortcomings.
Great option from having to carry a cell phone around your house all day

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I absolutely love this option! It lets me use my trusty standard landline phone set, which is a Panasonic Link2cell 6-handset system. It’s so convenient to have a regular phone that doesn’t break the bank and rings throughout the house. I don’t have to worry about searching for my cell phone or carrying it with me all day. Plus, as a caregiver for my senior parents, this makes things so much simpler. They don’t want to deal with a smartphone, and this system lets them answer calls, make calls, save contacts, block spam calls, and hear the phone ring anywhere in the house.
I’ve been using it for over ten years now, and while the service had a few bumps at the start—like calls disconnecting unexpectedly or getting a recording asking me to activate service—none of those issues were too big to handle! The sound quality is fantastic, sometimes even better than my cellphone, especially since landline phones usually have better speakers and can connect to hearing devices that smartphones can’t.
Setting it up is super easy! It comes with an RJ45 cable and an AC adapter. You just plug in the power, connect the RJ45 cable to the wireless device, find an open wall jack, and link it up. Once you turn on the device, it connects to Verizon, and voilà—you have a dial tone! When I started, Verizon typically inserted the SIM card and transferred my landline number. I did need to change the SIM card once in all these years, but it was a breeze to do—just grab a screwdriver!
One of my favorite features is how portable it is! If you’re a snowbird with homes in different places, you can take this anywhere Verizon works. There’s no need to set up home service in both locations; your landline number travels with you, just like your cellphone!
This is the best and most user-friendly option for older adults, disabled individuals, or anyone who prefers a straightforward phone.
Plus, 911 service is available and works well. Just a tip: if you take it between different locations, you might need to register it at each place. As a caregiver, I’ve used 911 and had no issues getting connected to the right service.
I do wish it had a few extra features like video capabilities and the ability to save photos as a screensaver, but that might complicate the simplicity I love so much!

Very problematic! It cuts out and ends a call frequently after 2 min of conversation with a beep, beep, beep, sound and calls have to be remade. Not worth the money!

They had their home phone for more than 50 years but couldn’t move the number to their new home. This box made it possible! Worked perfectly in no time . Just plugged it in an it worked ever since. Got international calling and unlimited national calls for less than the land line cost. Would recommend.

My wife and have had Verizon home phone for several years. Recently our unit malfunctioned an I hade to buy a new unit. After hyooking it up I received an error message and was directed to contact customer service. I made an appointment for the next day. I received a call from the service rep Ali within 2 minutes of the appointment. She worked with me and we had the unit operating properly within 30 minutes. Ali was very professional and pleasant t. She was a joy to work with. Should I ever have issues with any of my Verizon phones, I hope that I can speak with her.
Very disappointed! Avoid!

Avoid this device! This is the second one I thought maybe it was just specifically the device I had but the second one is doing exactly the same thing I received four bars and the connection! But it sounds that I’ve been told by many people I’m talking in a tin can and it is multiple times disconnected on me Both devices so it must be the model! I previously had the T 2000 had some issues with that a few years ago at the beginning, but it sounded great. This thing supposedly is an upgrade I thought upgrades were supposed to be an improvement and they want $99 for this? And when I’ve taken it back they’re saying there might be a $50 fee? Why should I pay for something that is defective? I didn’t design this disappointed Verizon. Very disappointed!

Top of the line home phone service and you can even travel with it. Take your home phone with you wherever you go. Just plug it in and good to go.
Great Idea, Not Reliable

I've been using this device for about 2 weeks and so far I'm not that impressed. When it works, it works well, with clear voices and good connection. However, half the time I go to use the phone, I have an instant busy signal....even before I dial a number. I have found if I turn off the device and turn it back on it seems to clear the problem. Using chat tech support is useless. It take those people so long to respond. It is at least a 5 minute wait between when you ask or answer a question and when they respond. I plan to eliminate my land line in the next couple months. I'll just deal wth the problem until such time that I dump the whole unit.

Purchased a Verizon lvl-2 wireless home connector because the one I had for two years had to have software update several time a year and caused loss of service so we purchased a new one and I needed to be on the phone performing tests removing battery and help the Verizon technicians who except for the last one were reading me instructions on how to update their brand new product . From around 10:00 AM on and off till around 8 :00 PM then a follow up phone call the next day
I couldn’t understand them and they were not knowledgeable enough to perform an update on their own device. They honestly spent at least a 1/2 hour thru the day being polite and asking how my day was and that was the most irritating part of the day . I kept asking to get to the point and get done but I’m sure their higher ups have the idea they will be so polite the customer won’t care that the Verizon tech didn’t know much and wasted the customer’s time . It the only service available otherwise we would get someone else !!!

My mother in law recently moved to assisted living and we had to figure out a new phone for her. She is 80 and has dementia and cell phones are too much for her to learn. With Verizon’s home phone option, we could plug in her familiar handset from her apartment. It works great!

Answer from Verizon Customer Support6 days
The Verizon Wireless Home Phone LVP2 uses a 2800 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) rechargeable battery. It serves as a backup power source in case of power outages to keep your landline phone active. For more questions, contact Verizon Customer Service at 800-922-0204. -Ross

How to update wifi connection
Answer from Verizon Customer Support20 days
To update the device's software over-the-air, ensure it is plugged into AC power. Press the Menu button twice to access the "About" section. When the screen displays the software version and IMEI number, double-press the Menu button again to initiate the update and follow the prompts. The Verizon Wireless Home Phone (LVP2) relies on the 4G LTE cellular network to provide a dial tone rather than a standard Wi-Fi router network. However, if you are experiencing connection issues or need to update software, you can do so directly on the device. Verizon Steps to Manually Update the Device Connect to Power: Make sure your device is connected to a working electrical outlet using its AC/DC power adapter. Access the Menu: While on the Home screen, press the Menu button (located below the digital display). Locate the About Page: Press the Menu button again to access the second page of the 'About' section. Trigger the Update: Once the screen shows your software version and IMEI number, quickly double-press the Menu button in succession. Follow Prompts: Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the over-the-air software installation. For more questions, contact Verizon Customer Service at 800-922-0204? -Ross
