If you've got a broadband Internet connection, Caller-IP  is a service you can use to make Internet phone calls at significant savings over analog calling. Here's how it works:

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) transforms your high speed Internet service into an inexpensive way to send and receive calls. You use your regular phone handset, and the calls sound just as good. The difference is the way the calls travel. VoIP uses an adapter to convert voice signals into data packets for Internet transmission.

Traditional phone service sends calls over the telephone network via copper wire phone lines. VoIP sends calls over the Internet via your broadband connection.

To send voice calls over the Internet, VoIP needs to convert them into data. It does this with an easy to install telephone adapter (provided as part of your Neighborhood Broadband Calling service).

Easy to set up:

1. Connect your telephone adapter into your Cable or DSL modem.
2. Connect a standard telephone into the telephone adapter. (Any standard corded or cordless telephone will work.)

Only the phone(s) connected to the telephone adapter will work. Therefore, your modem, telephone adapter and
telephone will probably need to be near each other. Since most households have phones in multiple rooms, we recommend that you use a multi-handset phone so you can connect the base phone unit to the telephone adapter, and place the remaining handsets throughout the house.
It’s that easy! Now you’re ready to take advantage of the low-cost calling and amazing features Broadband Calling has to offer.
