Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and DSL Phone Service
The Philips Medication Dispenser is compatible with a wide variety of phone services,
including VoIP services. However your medication dispenser will work better with some
telephone services than others. It is important that you understand how the dispenser
will work with your current service, or any other service you may later switch to. Be
sure to read the pamphlet we have included with your medication dispenser: Special
Telephone Service Considerations.
Philips Lifeline Medical Alert Service

Dispenser connection since it deals with potentially life-threatening emergencies.
