My tech gave me a device so no phone is needed. I asked my tech because I wanted to get rid of my home phone and at that time only had a flip phone. She gve a small device to plug into my monitor, and that is it, no phone.

Remote monitor

A phone is not used for my device monitor....I have a monitor I plug into the wall next to my bed.  It uses whatever cell signal is availabe with no limits travelling.  

There was a shortage when the remote monitors were upgraded from 3G to 5G.  The only delay I had was the EP's office hadn't ordered it in time so I didn't leave the hospital with the home monitor.  It was shipped from St Jude and I received it a couple of days after I was home.

My device was set up and programmed at the hospital before I went home.
