Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I’m not a technical person, so explain how your IP service works in the simplest
terms possible.
A: “Internet Protocol,” commonly referred to as “IP,” allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular phone line. Our service plans offer many features at great prices. The service requires the use of either an analog telephone adapter, commonly called an “ATA,” or a dedicated IP phone. An ATA connects to a broadband device such as a DSL line, cable modem or a router. The ATA has a standard telephone jack that allows you to plug in most conventional telephone equipment. Using an ATA allows you to enjoy a high speed connection using your existing telephone equipment. A dedicated IP phone is a device that connects directly to a broadband device such as a DSL line or a router. A dedicated IP phone is solely designed for IP service. You make and receive calls just as you would with traditional telephone service and receive many additional features.

Q: What are the advantages of using IP?
A: Greater control over your service features. You have the control to administer the service features of your account from a private Web site. Many also find the feature-rich service to be less expensive than traditional phone service. Your IP telephone number can even travel with you (provided there is compatible broadband access).

Q: Is IP service a replacement for my existing telephone line?
A: Possibly. You would need to be comfortable with regard to the differences between IP service and those provided by your traditional telephone service: 911 Services may not be available via your IP service in all areas. Customer premise equipment is powered by the AC power in your business. If the power went out, your IP service would be out as well. (Some customers choose to plug their premise equipment, router and broadband device into a UPS to provide power for a limited time in the event of a power failure.) IP service requires broadband connectivity. Should your broadband connection go down, your IP phone service would not function.

Q: What equipment do I need to use my IP service?
A: A broadband connection. Either an analog telephone adapter (ATA) or a IP phone (software or hardware based). Additionally, you might wish to have a router to support multiple computers on a local area network.

Q: Is there a difference in quality between IP phones and ATA devices?
A: Typically the decision about whether to go with IP phones or ATAs is a question of economics. If you already have compatible analog phones, ATAs may be the less expensive option.
