You might have heard that the old copper phone lines we grew up with are being retired in 2027. Now, there’s a new and easy way to keep a home phone service – it’s called VoIP. But what is VoIP, and how does it work? In this guide, we’ll explain what VoIP is, how it works, and how Quickline Talk+ can be a great option if you’d like a landline alternative.

What is VoIP? #

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. That simply means your phone calls travel over your internet connection instead of the old copper wires.

With VoIP:

• You use a normal home phone
• You make and receive calls just like you always have
• You don’t need anything fancy or high-tech – it feels just like using a landline

What is Quickline Talk+? #

Quickline Talk+ is our optional VoIP home phone service. It’s perfect if you still want a traditional home phone but without the old copper network.

With Quickline Talk+:

• You plug your normal home phone into your router using a small “Phone Adapter” cable that we provide
• You can make and take calls just like before
• Call quality stays high, even if other people are using the internet in your home

Quickline Talk+ is designed only for phone calls. It works only with a normal home phone. It does not support alarms, card machines, medical devices, or any other equipment.

How does VoIP work? #

Here’s what happens:

• Your phone connects to your Quickline internet connection
• When you call someone, your voice travels through the internet
• The person you’re calling answers just like they would with any other call (even if they don’t have the internet)
