So let me see if I have this correct. You got the phone to work with the Vonage softphone settings, even though you didn't sign up for the softphone service? That's cool.
No, as Howiewifi stated, you must have the Vonage account.
Can you use the Vonage specific F1000 simultaneously with the wired adapter on the same phone number?
No, you must at least have a SOFTPHONE account. I'm not sure but you could probably have the softphone AND the wifi phone on the same number but to be calling at the same time? Í don't know.
I understand. My question is if you have the WiFi phone and the Softphone both connected to the internet, will they operate normally? When someone calls, which unit (or both) will ring? Will they operate as two different extensions for the same number? Or does each number require a different and unique IP address?

You got me there.... I THINK they'd ring at the same time but after you pick up?
From what I have seen, the last device to register gets the calls. If you have both a soft phone and an (unlocked) WiFi phone on the same account, then the last device to send a register message will "knock off" the previous device and will get incoming calls. If you leave both the soft phone and WiFi phone on with the same account at the same time - they will take turns losing registration and taking it back. The soft phone will be connected more of the time, since the wifi phone battery saving is not as "aggressive" as a pc softphone which keeps trying.
The short answer - you can have both, but if you want either to work reliably for incoming calls, you should only have one running and connected at a time.
