SummaryOrigin Home Phone services use the internet to function, connecting via modem to send calls digitally across the nbn or Opticomm network. This technology is commonly referred to as a VoIP service. |
What is VoIP?
A VoIP home phone is a telephone service that uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to make and receive calls over the internet, rather than using traditional landline telephone networks. This means that instead of relying on copper wire connections, a VoIP home phone transmits voice data digitally through your internet connection.
Key Features of a VoIP Home Phone
Internet-Based: VoIP phones use the internet to make and receive calls. You need an internet connection, such as nbn broadband or Opticomm, to use VoIP services at home.
Similar to Traditional Phones: Many VoIP services provide physical devices that resemble traditional landline phones, and they work similarly, except they connect through your modem rather than a phone socket in the wall.
Requires Power: The VoIP phone service requires power to your handset and your modem to function. In the event of a power outage, your VoIP service will not function unless you have a backup power service available.
