What is Digital Home Phone?
Digital Home Phone works pretty much the same as a landline, except instead of relying on phone wiring, it allows you to chat with your friends and family through your internet connection. VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol technology works by transferring audio signals into digital signals and vice versa.
All packages include the following features you’d typically have to pay an arm or a leg for:
Call display – See who’s calling
Call forwarding – Pass it on or take a call on the go
Call waiting – We get it, you’re popular
Three-way calling – 3 is not always a crowd
Voicemail – You can even get recordings forwarded to your email
Digital Home Phone Packages
Choose from 3 affordable plan options that can help you stay in touch with
friends and family, no matter where they may be.
Long-distance rate checker
Why enter a phone number?
By entering the country code and the first 6 digits of the phone number, our system can identify the per-minute rate for international calls to any destination. This rate calculation takes into account many factors such as the country, carrier, and area. We do not record this information.
Charges may apply for toll, special services and calls outside of your plans calling area.
Our Digital Home Phone plans are for residential use and subject to a fair-use policy of 3,000 minutes per month.
