You may be able to get "internet call waiting" - that will make a box pop up on your computer screen if someone calls while you are on the internet, allowing you to disconnect and take the call if it is someone you want to talk to.

I have a Verizon freedom pkg that includes caller id and i have net waiting on my computer so if some one calls it flashes on my computer screen. I can have net waiting disabled so that the phone will brake the internet connection when some one calls or I can have it set so that it just alerts me the phone is ringing. But i do have satelite tv because where I live cable is not avbl and my satelite comes thru the phone system.

in case you will get shape cable, attempt to get their lowest point for 19.ninety 9/month. that's one million meg down, 128 ok up. they don't promote it, yet you're in a position to ask for it. attempt soliciting for a decrease point than is provided by using any service. they could oblige with the aid of economic situations. Mine isn't a temp furnish, that's my reg value for a 365 days now. additionally, purchase the modem from a save. The $3 consistent with month condo provides up quickly, and that they final continuously. merely approximately all in effective condition with each and every gadget. the only distinction is cable vs dsl. some cities even have wifi, which demands no equipment. If it is sturdy, that's very much.

In a nutshell - no. I asked this question of my provider and the answer was 'no'. Now I wonder (since I made it clear I am willing to pay...whatever) whether it isn't because 'They' haven't found a profitable way do do it, yet.How cynical can I get?

yes, get another land line. one for internet only and one for receiving calls.
oh wait, it'll just be cheaper to dump both landlines, get cable internet and use Vonage to get phone calls.
