Home Phone Service: How Home Phone Plus Works

VoIP Phone Service, or Voice over Internet Protocol, works by transforming analog audio signals, like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone, into a digital signal that can be transmitted over the Internet and converted back to voice at the other end. This technology allows us to make our home phone service incredibly affordable for you.

Some VoIP phone services work with special software that enables you to use your PC speakers and microphone to “call” another PC or phone. Other VoIP phone services, like the kind offered by Phone.com, work with an adapter that enables you to use a standard phone to call anyone, anywhere. You dial the same way you normally would and the person you are calling doesn’t require anything special to talk to you. In fact, when you use Phone.com’s VoIP home phone service, they probably won’t even hear a difference. Phone.com’s nationwide network delivers clear, dependable home phone service at a fraction of the cost of traditional home phone services.

Subscribing to a VoIP phone service requires a broadband (high speed Internet) connection. You can use the same connection you use for your computer and still talk on the phone while you are online or when your computer is turned off.

Because VoIP leverages the power of the Internet, it provides advantages that aren’t available with regular home phone services. For example, VoIP home phone services allow you to:

• Select a home phone number with an area code outside of your calling area.
• Take your telephone adapter with you to make and receive calls when you travel. All you need is a high speed Internet connection.
• Manage your preferences, features, and listen to your voicemails online.
• Enjoy in call features such as Hold, Call Screening, call Transfer and more without paying more for your home phone service.
