Home VoIP Basics

Get All the Features You Need

When you switch to home internet phone service, you don't lose the features and services you've come to count on. The basic plan includes all of the following features without any additional fees:

• Voicemail
• Caller ID
• Call waiting
• Call forwarding
• Three-way calling
• Do not disturb
• Call return
• Anonymous call blocking
• Online billing
• Find Me, Follow Me service
• Local number porting
• Choose your own area code.

With Find Me, Follow Me service, you can set your primary number to ring through five other numbers in succession. For example, if you don't answer your home phone, the service would then try your cell phone, your office phone, or any other number you specify.

You also have the option to switch your local phone number to VoIP, or choose a new phone number and a new area code.

If you choose, you can also add additional features like a secondary phone number that rings to your primary number or a toll-free number for a very reasonable fee.

Buy New Equipment or Keep What You Have

Home VoIP service connects through your high-speed modem, but the calls are delivered to a regular telephone. You can use it with the telephone equipment you already have, including cordless and wall-mounted phones.

If you decide to buy new equipment, you have the choice of upgrading to a videophone. Can your regular phone company offer that?

Switching Is Fast and Easy

If you already have a high-speed internet connection at home, then switching to residential VoIP is easy. Once your phone adapter arrives, just follow the simple installation instructions and you're ready to talk. You can also opt to hire a professional installer to visit your home.

If you're moving, why not start fresh with home VoIP service? If your home is eligible for high-speed internet access, it's eligible for VoIP. Simply order your VoIP and internet services, and then arrange to have them ready the day you move in. You won't miss a minute of phone time.
