Yes, even the big name telephone companies route calls through the Internet.  You won't hear any difference between calls made using Voice Over Internet Protocol and the traditional PSTN (Public Service Telephone Networks); but you will notice huge savings, free features, and a telephone that adjusts to your lifestyle. The service works wherever the broadband Internet connection is available (Worldwide) so you can often keep the same phone number if you move to another location.

WHAT DO I NEED TO USE BROADBAND PHONE?

A Broadband Internet connection is required to efficiently transmit and receive the voice information.  A dial-up connection cannot upload and download the signal fast enough for quality transmission.  A Broadband Internet connection is a high-speed connection, typically known as ‘Cable Internet’ or ‘DSL’. A Broadband Internet connection is ‘ALWAYS ON’ and supplied either by your Cable Company through a cable modem, or by way of your local phone company or re-seller using a DSL modem.  In either case you will be all set to take full advantage of the features and savings that Broadband Phone Service has to offer!

You will also require an analog adapter that converts digital voice packets into analog signals so that you may continue using the same phones that you have in your home today.  This adapter is supplied to you FREE of charge from our providers.  A standard telephone or wireless base station is then plugged in to the adapter.

Finally, a router is recommended in order to share the high speed internet access on the computer with the telephone at the same time.  A router is not provided, but is readily available at local electronic or computer stores.  If you are using more than one computer on your broadband connection, you probably already have a router installed.
