Analog or Digital Line

I am 6 weeks post-op with my new Medtronic Revo. I got a letter in the mail that my home transmission box was ordered, but I don't have a home phone line. I've never had one, and I don't have ordering service, but does it have to be analog? The rest of my house is AT&T U-Verse, so it wouldn't be anything for them to add a digital phone line. I called Medtronic and they wouldn't really say if a digital line would work.

Anyone make it work with a digital line? Medtronic told me there is a new device where I can transmit with my cell phone, but it is $11 per month, so I might as well get a home phone for $20.

Thoughts?

I have Comcast cable phone service and it works fine as long as you have a phone jack for the cable I think it should work with DSL.

Ask your clinic for a filter to connect between the monitor and the phone jack.
