Digital phone service is basically talking through your computer lines. You hook up a device to your computer, just like you would hook up a wireless router, and you're set. You should know that you do not use the standard phone outlets in your house, so if you want more than one phone, you have to buy a system with multiple handsets. You should also know that if your cable or power goes out, you don't have a phone, unlike land lines. It really doesn't matter if you have a cell phone. It is much cheaper because there are no long distant charges.

With VoIP, you can make a call from anywhere you have broadband connectivity. Since the IP phones or ATAs broadcast their info over the Internet, they can be administered by the provider anywhere there is a connection. So business travelers can take their phones or ATAs with them on trips and always have access to their home phone. Another alternative is the softphone. A softphone is client software that loads the VoIP service onto your desktop or laptop. The Vonage softphone has an interface on your screen that looks like a traditional telephone. As long as you have a headset/microphone, you can place calls from your laptop anywhere in the broadband-connected world.
