How does it work?
VoIP technology converts your voice (or analog) into data (or digital signal) allowing you to place and receive calls over your broadband connection. Simply plug a D-Link Broadband VoIP Router in to your Cable or DSL Modem, and plug a standard household telephone into it. You can then place and receive calls over this phone and also have additional control functions available to you through a Web browser.

How is this different than my current telephone service?
A VoIP phone service offers a number of advantages over current telephone services. Although it relies on different technology and communications that does not travel over traditional phone lines, it provides features similar to your current telephone service. This includes unlimited local and long distance calling, Call Waiting, 3-Way Calling, and Caller ID. VoIP phone services also provide additional features that provide control and connectedness, such as "Do Not Disturb," the ability for callers to find you wherever you are, the ability to see all inbound and outbound calls over months, and the ability to listen to and manage voicemail. A VoIP phone service will not work without household power or without broadband or high-speed Internet connection.
