Switching to VOIP

Many people is switching to VOIP service and they are still wondering how does it work and if they can transfer their existing telephone number over to this kind of service..

First, in order for you to have VOIP service or in order for your phone to work you must have a high speed internet service...could be DSL, Cable Internet and any other High speed internet service available and it's not dial up and I don't recommend Satellite Internet connection for this have problem like latency or audio delays...

Now, you might be wondering how can you transfer your phone line over to a VOIP service...

First the line need to be still active with your current provider to complete the transfer process...normally it will take at least 10 business days depending if you have issues with your current provider...

Second, you must provide accurate information about the said telephone number to be transferred, like billing, account name, etc...

Third, make sure that if you are using DSL internet connection, it's not bundled with your telephone line, meaning they are not sharing the line. If this is the case call your internet service provide or telephone provider to have it separated or obtain what we called stand alone DSL internet service or Dry Loop...
If you are using Cable internet connection or your telephone line is not associated with internet service then I don't see any problem converting or transferring it to any VOIP company of your choice....

Lastly, you must provide accurate e-mail address, because any update regarding your order like number transfer status will be sent to your e-mail...especially if there's any alteration or additional information needed...like for mobile phone users...they need to provide more information coming from the mobile company....

Reminder: once your telephone number has been transferred and you can't get your device to work, make sure that you have internet service, and you can check that by simply accessing your computer and check if you can get online.....Bottom line as soon as you have received the device test it to see if it is working properly....

I hope that this information is useful.....
