How do I know if I have digital voice? A quick look

Wondering if you have digital voice? You’re not alone! With all the changes happening in the phone world, it’s easy to get confused. Let’s clear things up and help you figure out what kind of phone service you’re using.

Spotting the difference

So, how can you tell if you have digital voice or a traditional copper wire landline? Here are some quick checks:

1. Check your phone socket: Digital voice usually connects through your internet router, not the old-style wall phone socket. If your phone’s plugged into your router, you’re likely using a digital landline.
2. Look at your bill: See terms like home VoIP, internet calling, or digital voice? That’s a good sign you’re already digital.
3. Call features: If you have fancy features like call forwarding to your mobile or voicemail-to-email, chances are you’re on digital voice.
4. Ask your provider: Still not sure? Give your phone company a quick call. They’ll know exactly what service you’re on.

Why the confusion?

It’s easy to get mixed up because digital voice can look a lot like traditional phone service. You might still have a normal-looking handset, and your calls work the same way. The main difference is what’s happening behind the scenes – your calls are travelling over the internet instead of copper wires.

Benefits of going digital early

If you discover that you haven’t made the switch to digital voice yet, here’s why you might want to:

• Crystal-clear calls: Say goodbye to crackly lines & hello to crisp, clear conversations
