VOIP4MARINES is a phone service based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP). It uses a phone adapter to convert your voice into a digital signal. Simply plug the phone adapter into a broadband internet connection anywhere in the world and instantly make and receive calls using the same phone number

What do you need to activate the service? All you need is a high-speed Internet connection which can be either DSL or Cable Modem. What Is VOIP? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the technology that enables you to make and receive phone calls thru the Internet instead of using the traditional analog PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines. It is also referred to as Broadband Phone Service.

Broadband Phone Service uses ANY existing broadband internet connection to make and take phone calls. A phone adapter called an Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) is a small device that plugs into a high speed internet connection and converts voice traffic into data traffic. This data traffic then travels across the internet to the end point and is then converted back to voice. Your regular telephone plugs into the ATA and does not require any special hardware. Once you have plugged a regular telephone into the ATA, you are ready to make and receive calls. The sound quality will typically be as good as using a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) for a much lower cost to you. Because the phone number is assigned to the phone adapter, you can take it with you to anywhere you have high speed internet (ie: DSL or cable modem).
