What Is It?

Tech-savvy customers across the nation are saving money on long distance and optional phone features using Internet phone services with broadband or cable connections.

Why Do I Need It?

Broadband telephony can be through either cable or other Internet providers. In both cases, calls can be made and received through a customer's existing analog phones. In fact, VoIP service replaces traditional phone service. It has all of the traditional features like Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voice Mail, etc. All of this is available at a significant cost savings. In many cases, customers can even keep their number when they sign up for this service.

How Do I Get It?

VoIP service requires an adapter or router that can be attached to a high speed Internet connection to provide VoIP Phone Service. Local cable companies can provide cable telephony through their cable network. You can purchase the adapter or sign up for Service at CompUSA.

Which Type Do I Need?

Taking the adapter or router with you when you travel or move can make the service mobile. Note that Digital Phone Service through a cable provider is not mobile since the cable serves only one physical address, but it does offer the ability to bundle your TV, Internet and phone services in one bill, usually at a savings.
