Can I use my laptop by plugging into my house phone line?

Answer by  kimber18 (514)

Only if you have a dial up modem with your laptop. I believe you can buy one if needed, but you are really in the stone ages, so to speak, if you are using dial up. Most new laptops have a wireless modem, that you can use with a router from your provider, or buying one.

If your laptop has a 56k modem and you have a dial-up ISP, yes you may. You cannot, however, use the phone line to power your laptop.

It depends on what you mean by use your laptop. If it has a dial up modem then it can use a phone line to connect to the internet with a dial up provider. Just don't confuse a dial up modem port with an ethernet port.
