Do I need to have my computer on in order to use VoIP services?

No, your computer does not have to be on at all times in order for Voice over IP services to work. Since Voice over IP services run off of your high speed internet modem, that does have to be up and running for your phone to work.

VoIP - Did you know?

VoIP services are not yet as reliable and clear as traditional phone systems. If you have a high-speed internet connection with fast upload (256k) and download speeds, then you are likely to be satisfied with VoIP phone service.

While VoIP phone service is an excellent option for some people, we don't feel it is ready to replace most residential or business phones services.
