 Easy Jack2 August 30, 2009
Kelly K (Cleveland, Ohio)
I bought this for my dishnetwork receiver because I don't have a phone jack near my tv. It worked great UNTIL we had a power outage. The return of the power caused a surge that fried the base. It interrupted my phone service because my phones were all indicating that an extension was in use. I couldn't get a dial tone, just a couple of radio stations. If you are buying this, you will need the surge protector on the base and the extension.
Make Sure There Are No Transformers Plugged In May 7, 2009

There shouldn't be any AC/DC transformers(wall worts) between the receiver and transmitter. Once I corrected that, it worked for my Dish Network HDTV DVR so caller ID works.
 Doesn't always work February 4, 2009
Wayne Maden (Bluffdale , UT United States)
Dish Network sent this Easy Jack 2 system to me when I complained to them about a charge for not having a phone line connected to the receiver after I had moved into a new home, told them to either stop the charges or I would stop using their service. So they sent me this free of charge (I have been with them for quite a few years and get their top package)
At first it seemed to work great, even though I did plug the remote one into a big surge protector, after a few weeks I noticed that once in a while it would not work right so I moved it to a regular outlet where it started working right again, but even after that there are a lot of times the light on the remote unit turns red and stops working. I have moved the main unit even closer to the remote but it still only works periodically I only give it 2 stars because I feel like it is less than a good quality product. When it does work, it works fine, but just part-time just don't get it.
I finally gave up on it completely anymore. Got to where it didn't work even 20% of the time. Not a good product at this time.
 Works for DVRs only- don't buy for a phone extension - Phonex PX-211 EasyJack 2 December 31, 2008

I purchased the Phonex PX-211D EasyJack 2 Wireless Phone Jack System after my original RCA model stopped working. This particular model PX-211D (D for Data) Works for DVRs only to show caller ID info and transmit phone number back to satellite provider. I purchased it because Dish Network charges a monthly fee if the receiver is not connected to a phone line. Don't buy this if you plan on using to add a phone where there is no phone jack. I didn't test this on a phone unit, but the instructions inside the box ssys that. There supposed to be a PX-211V (V for Voice) model for Voice calling, but I wasn't able to find it anywhere. Most (if not all) online retailers don't specify which model they are selling (D or V) in the product descriptions. So far it works as intended, and it shows caller id info on the TV, which I like.
 Works great for me May 16, 2008

Bought these and and extension unit when we went to Dish. I did read all of the reviews first and made sure it was not connected to a power strip. The first one synced up no problem the second one took a couple of times but they have been flawless since even after a power outage they came back on with no issues. saves me 10.00 a month or the hassle of running a phone line. The caller ID pass thru works as well using vonage
