Net phone service, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others, ones we recommend allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. Also, while some services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, the services we recommend allow you to use a traditional phone plugged into an adaptor connected to your high speed Internet connection.
Once you sign up you will receive a Phone Adaptor. This device converts your analog phone signal to digital so that it can be sent over your broadband connection, and into the Voice over IP network. No programing is required, the service is plug and play and take less than five minutes to setup.
