Frequently Asked Questions:
A VoIP phone converts your voice calls into data packets that are transferred over the internet, so you cannot use a VoIP phone with a landline. With a VoIP adapter, however, which plugs into either the phone socket or into your router, you can convert your regular landline phone into a VoIP home phone.
Unlike traditional analogue telephone exchanges, VoIP works by converting voice into a digital signal that can be transmitted over your internet connection. Using VoIP for your home phone reduces your phone bill and gives you increased control, powerful features when making and receiving calls.
You won’t be able to make VoIP calls without internet service, as VoIP uses the internet to transfer data between callers. Before you decide on a VoIP-based phone service for your home, make sure you have a stable broadband internet connection (LTE, ADSL, Fibre or Wireless).
You will need a VoIP-compatible phone or VoIP phone adapter to enable VoIP at home. An SIP or IP phone is designed specifically for Voice over Internet Protocol technology and gives you all the feature-rich functionality to design a custom telephone system for your home. You can also use a softphone app on your mobile device.
There are a number of advantages of VoIP over traditional analogue landlines. VoIP technology is more cost-effective, easier to install and setup, provides better sound quality and provides a host of smart, useful features that give you greater flexibility and when and how you are contacted.
