Packet8 VoIP Adapter
If you choose not to purchase a whole house VoIP
phone system, Packet 8 will send you a free VoIP router that you will
use to connect your new VoIP service to the internet with. The
router is a small device that connects directly to your broadband
modem or router, as well as your computer. You can use an
existing telephone with your VoIP service, but it will have to stay
connected to the router.
Using Existing Telephones With VoIP
It is possible to use all of your existing telephones with VoIP
service, but you will need to make some simple modifications to your
home phone wiring first. These modifications will allow your
inside telephone wiring to work just like it did with regular land
line phone service. Many websites offer free information on how
to modify your telephone wiring for use with VoIP, and it is pretty
easy to do yourself. If you're not very handy with wiring, many
local services (including electricians) can handle this task for you
at a reasonable price.
Note: If you want to
use your existing phones and existing home phone wiring with VoIP, you
will need to disconnect your landline phone service first.
The wiring changes you need to make in order to use internet phone
service with internal phone wiring will require you to disconnect the
phone companies wiring at the telephone box where it comes into your
house. You cannot use both VoIP and landline phone service over
the same wiring. |
