A VoIP phone can be plugged into a router to provide VoIP service. The router will need to be configured to provide the VoIP service, and the phone will need to be configured to connect to the router.
Yes, you can plug your VoIP phone into any broadband Internet connection.
If you're considering replacing your landline phone with a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone, there are a few things you should take into account. First, VoIP requires a broadband Internet connection, so if you have a dial-up connection, VoIP isn't for you. Second, VoIP service is often cheaper than traditional landline service, but it doesn't offer the same reliability. If your power goes out, so does your VoIP phone service. Finally, you'll need to decide if you want a VoIP phone that uses your computer or a dedicated Vo
Yes, you can use a VoIP phone as a regular phone, but there are some important things to keep in mind. First, VoIP services are often less reliable than traditional phone service, so you may experience more dropped calls or static. Second, VoIP phone calls typically use more bandwidth than traditional calls, so you may need a higher-speed internet connection to make calls without interruption. Finally, VoIP services often have different features than traditional phone service, so be sure to check with your VoIP provider to see what features are available.

Users of analog FAX machines in SOHO (small offices/home offices) — With the OBi202, you may stop using your landline POTS service and save money every year!My Story: For the past 15 years, I have been paying $50 per month to my local phone company for an FAX line that is no longer frequently utilized. I'm not quite ready to give up FAX entirely, but its declining usage has made it difficult to defend. I considered using an online fax service because of their affordable monthly fees, but I'm an old-fashioned guy and rather like a traditional fax machine.My Solution: Despite knowing that VoIP Fax has sporadic reliability, I chose to give it a try. It appears that while some users have success with it, some don't. Since my Comcast Xfinity Broadband connection performs well, I was optimistic that it would work for me. Warning: I'm a VoIP FAX winner with OBi202!My Installation: I powered on and connected the OBi202 to my LAN. The web interface is blocked by default for security reasons, but the instructions include information on how to enable it, so I did that. Additionally, I set up my router to give it a fixed local IP address, while doing so is not necessary. I also registered my OBi202 gadget and made an account on obitalk.com. The concise (one page) quick start manual outlines these processes.I then opened the "Miscellaneous Menu" on my Brother FAX machine's keypad and changed the Compatibility item to "Basic." This turns off error correction and changes the FAX communication's baud rate to 9600. (ECM). Common FAX VoIP setup recommendations include these.VoIP service I use:I then had to decide which VoIP service provider to use. I was able to choose from an endless variety of businesses with the aid of Google. I combed through a lot of web evaluations and came up with a short list of potential candidates; CallCentric won the coin toss. I decided to use their "Pay Per Call" service for outgoing calls because I don't send or receive many FAXes (inexpensive per minute rates). I chose their "DID - Pay Per Minute" service ($3.45 monthly charge plus reasonably priced per minute rate) for incoming calls. Although they also accept PayPal, I funded it with a credit card.A free local phone line was provided with the CallCentric account (you choose the area code, they choose the 7-digit local number). The phone number I was given in my situation will be temporary because it will be replaced after I port my current analog phone number to it. The CallCentric website also has an online porting tool that verifies an existing number may be ported; mine passed the test, so I don't anticipate any issues with the port.My CallCentric 10-digit phone number was inputted as the Station ID when I returned to the Fax Machine's keyboard and chose the "Initial Setup" menu after acquiring a new phone number. I'll indicate in my evaluation that this step is crucial.My OBi202 device required to be registered with the CallCentric account. I utilized the web search bar on CallCentric and typed "obi202" to find out how to achieve it. I found the OBi202's general setup instructions rather quickly. The procedures were easy to follow, and my Obi was registered in no time.Please remember that I'm not here to promote the VoIP service offered by CallCentric. Please conduct your own research before selecting a VoIP company. There are several of them available, and there is a ton of customer feedback to aid in your decision.My FAX Tests: I sent a variety of multi-page FAXs to the HP FAX test number (888-473-2963) using it. Because the HP test facility FAXed a response to each test call, they were all successful (takes about five minutes for HP to call back). NOTE: Since HP will call back using your 10-digit VoIP phone number, it is crucial that the ID setting on your FAX machine contains that information.The OBi202 allows two analog phones or devices, which is my second VoIP line. What should I do with the other port now that the FAX machine is connected to one? Of course, Google Voice. Receiving domestic long distance voice calls that are FREE (and inexpensive elsewhere) is difficult to ignore. There is no need for me to describe Google Voice's installation process. All the information is available in numerous other OBi user forums and related YouTube videos.Last Words: Keep in mind that I just installed the OBi202, so I don't have much experience making or receiving VoIP FAX calls. But everything is going OK so far. I have a backup strategy in case my luck changes. I can use the dedicated Fax function of CallCentric's service to receive FAX calls rather than calls to my machine.

This replaces the Ooma Hub I purchased in 2010. The Hub was still functional but was getting old. The day after I received the new Telo, I called Ooma, and the following morning, I received an email informing me that my account had been updated to include the Telo device (there was no fee for this service), and I needed to plug it in. The Telo is in fantastic working order and had a faultless connection to the Ooma network. Here in Florida, the monthly tax rate has increased to $4.19, but with the ongoing "up'ing" of all things, that is to be anticipated. I only pay that amount each month for a phone that is functional 99.99999% of the time. When I had a landline, it was much higher. At the time, I spent more on taxes and fees than the phone line itself cost. The best aspect is that if something does go wrong, I can call a REAL English-speaking person instead of engaging in a chat room typing session with a foreign individual who just understands what is printed on the cards in front of him/her.

To replace my outdated Panasonic KX-TGP500 DECT cordless, I bought this. I've used a few Yealink desk phones, and while they worked fine, they weren't quite as nice as Polycom VVX phones. The Yealink W60P is a fantastic DECT cordless phone, though. The screen is a respectable size, and the sound quality is superb. I can take it around easily so I won't miss any calls because it has a belt clip. When switching from speakerphone to handset, the speakerphone/handset button sometimes doesn't function, but perhaps that's just because my large fingers can't reach the buttons. This phone has a great range and voice quality overall, and I really like it!

In order to more closely approximate my business environment at home, I bought the Cisco 504G IP phone. I wanted the capacity to have calls forwarded from work to be able to ring a single phone limited to my home office (and to do so without having to purchase a second line from the Cable/Phone provider) as someone who has the chance to telework and with small children in the house. I have established VoIP connections with this 4-line model of Cisco's excellent SPA series phones to intelligently handle my calling requirements. The phone's Extension/Line 1 is set up using SIP credentials of a provider to which I redirect my office calls. As a result, just this phone, which is at my home office, rings when someone calls my work phone. I can also dial out using that provider (with a fake Caller ID capability offered by most providers) to appear as though I am at the workplace without any effort. In order to still be able to answer a call to our home while at work, I have set up line 2 with our house line (a separate VoIP service with a "unlimited calling" package that better suits our home calling patterns). Although I haven't used lines 3 and 4 yet, I may experiment with them in the future.The 504G has a reasonably user-friendly setting "dashboard" that is accessed by web browser, just like the other IP phones in the SPA series. When a phone is plugged into a router, its IP address may be quickly found via the menu system in order to access the dashboard, which is easily configured to accept the SIP credentials of any provider. The majority of carriers give tutorials on how to configure this phone; you won't be stuck in trial-and-error to get this phone working as Cisco IP phones are one of the VoIP industry's reference standards.I am very pleased with my purchase, and Amazon has a very reasonable pricing for it.

The equipment is excellent. Although the speaker and microphone are loud and clear, I did have to change the gain settings to make it sound great in our area because white noise generators were to blame for everyone sounding far away with the default settings.Software has definitely improved throughout the years. The web interface for older versions was a complete mess and was of no use. The boot-up process for new firmware is significantly quicker and easy. On this phone, virtually everything may be customized, but not via the web interface. (You may import/export sophisticated configurations, though.)My only issue with Polycom is how poorly designed many of its default settings are. To replace their stupid defaults, you have to spend a lot of time customizing it. Advanced parameters that can only be changed through their configuration files or provisioning servers are settings that should be factory defaults. Basically, you encounter stupid behavior, spend hours, days, or weeks researching online and poring over ten different iterations of their manuals in search of a way to change that stupid behavior, finally find it but are unable to determine what the parameter values should be because they are complicated and the manual omits to mention them (i.e., -3 to 54), and repeat the process for the next one. The final result of all that labor is a fantastic phone that performs admirably and deserves five stars, but I can't do so out of moral obligation because the setup procedure requires far more effort than it should.

beautiful cordless phones. good bunch of features Simple to pair. Two are being used on a DP750 basis. Voice delay is present overall. You should be informed, however it's not entirely the phone's fault. There is a lot of translating going on (VOIP SIP trunks, internal network, DECT radio to base station). voice is of good quality. Great screen (but small). It's convenient that you may charge these using a USB cable or a wall adapter.You are aware that this is for VOIP and that if you are doing it yourself, it will require some configuration, I'm sure. It's not the same as plugging in a DECT wireless analog phone.

I bought these phones from Amazon for a better price to utilize with VirtualPBX.Because the provider provides an auto-provision link, programming was extremely straightforward. After provisioning, the provider's configuration locked the phone, preventing numerous advanced configuration choices as well as some basic customizations, including power light settings, shared directory setup, web server interaction, and many more.Our problem with the power light blinking after the phone entered sleep mode was resolved by making a straightforward modification to the "local" configuration file. The bothersome blinking was stopped by including these parameters in the local configuration:power-saving features.power-led-flash-on-time = 0power-saving features.power led flash.off time = 100I had the provider "unlock" the phone so that I could add the settings. I then used the phone's web interface to save the "local" configuration to a computer, added the features listed above, and then reloaded the "local" configuration.The web interface for the phone can access a variety of custom settings, but it needs to be enabled in the administrative menu of the device. This phone is incredibly adaptable and is perfect for adding shared directory capabilities like web server-based directories and LDAP directories as well as customized call accounting.We frequently experience high latency Internet, bad cell service, and a lack of landlines where we live. We have experimented with everything, including microcells, computer soft phones, and wifi calling on cell phones. However, most of the time our internet connection is of a good, business-grade quality. No matter what we did, making phone calls was a frustrating exercise in low-quality communication.The call quality has been excellent ever since we moved to using these phones and a hosted PBX. Clear, calm, and stable Good duplex without the inconvenience and delay caused by two individuals talking at once. The phone is easy to use and simply functions. The receiver is certainly not terrible, despite not being the traditional or legacy "handle" type that lays properly on the shoulder. Many phones, particularly cordless ones, have receivers that cannot be rested on the shoulder. This phone does not. The speakerphone and microphone are excellent. No need to shout.I had no problems using a straightforward 48 volt POE injector and transformer (WS-POE-8-ENC) to supply power over my Cat6 premises wire.Because the Yealink 5V adapters have a unique jack compared to many other 5V connectors, I bought a few of them just in case (larger). If the location cannot install Power Over Ethernet cable, it would be cleaner and cost approximately the same to use a POE injector under the desk instead of the 5V adapter given the price of the 5V adapters and the unsightly extra cords. At first, the 48 volts vs. 5 volts POE situation appears perplexing, but contemporary POE devices take what they require and regulate the power from the 48 volt source with no problems. The phone in this scenario uses 5VDC from the POE.I'll update this review without a doubt if this phone develops problems in the next three years or less. Our outdated Panasonic phones and switch unit are still functional after twenty years of use. So far, this phone has shown to be a reasonable alternative for the previous setup. These phones are obviously "under probation" for the foreseeable future; as a result, the review is subject to change. According to what I've read elsewhere, support might not be fantastic.The "S" indicates that Skype is supported on the phone. I skipped using Skype. Once supplied, the phone functions just like the "G" or general model.Starting with five stars because of the good value, simplicity, adaptability, and outstanding, trouble-free call quality.
Yes, you can send a text to a VoIP number. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, and is a type of internet phone service.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. VoIP service converts your voice into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you have a VoIP phone service, you may be wondering if it will work during a power outage. The answer is: it depends. If your VoIP service is powered by an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA), it will not work during a power outage unless you have a backup power source, such as a battery backup or
