The GSM FWP - 14 Phone does not connect to conventional landline telephone systems, instead it communicates over GSM cellular networks. Users can operate the phone wherever there's an AC outlet and a network signal: In a dorm room, in a hotel room, in the office, in a community center, at home, in a resort, or in an RV/caravan.

The GSM FWP - 14 is a sound solution for communication over cellular networks in areas where traditional copper-wire landlines are not available, where signal range and voice quality cannot be delivered through handheld cellular phones, or where landline fees are more expensive than cellular telephony fees. Although GSM network provider plans vary from country to country, a number of consumers can benefit from a savings on international mobile-to-mobile calls as well as local mobile-to-mobile calls
