How it Works
The SIS phone service (you may have heard of VOIP) works just like a regular phone with just one key difference — how the phone call actually gets to your telephone. Instead of using the high priced telephone company's wiring, SIS phone service routes your phone calls directly to your telephone using your high speed internet connection. You hear a dial tone and make your phone calls just like you've always done. What's changed is that you don't pay a big bill to use the phone company's wires.

What is the SIS phone service (VOIP)?
VOIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a technology that enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls. Voice data is sent in packets through your high-speed Internet connection rather than by traditional POTS lines (Plain Old Telephone Service). VOIP is significantly less expensive than typical telephone long distance packages, plus one high speed Internet connection can serve for multiple phone lines with no loss in functionality, reliability, or voice quality.

What equipment do I need to get started?
One key piece of equipment that you will need is the small but powerful ATA (analog telephony adapter) or VOIP adapter (Phone Adapter). These phone adapters allow you to use your conventional telephones for digital or SIS phone service. The phone adaptors will normally have an Ethernet jack and an RJ-11 phone jack. This little hardware device is what enables you to take full advantage of SIS phone service features such as caller ID, call waiting, ect.
