What is VoIP/Internet Phones?
​
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a method for taking ordinary analogue audio signals and turning them into digital signals, that can be sent over the internet. Basically, this means you can bypass the usual phone line, and stop paying £19pm for line rental. You can keep the same number as you have now.
​

Note: 999 calls do work on VOIP phones, but we are required by law to register your address on a database so that can be visible to the emergency services, however unlike your old fashioned telephone, your phone will not work in the case of a power cut or if your internet connection is down and so you won't be able to dial 999 on it during that time, if this is a concern for you for whatever reason you may want to consider keeping a traditional landline phone. Since most people have a mobile phone this is much less of a concern than it used to be.
