What is voip telephones?

Will normal telephones work with VoIP service?

• Answer:

  Yes, but you will have to use an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) that changes your landline phone to a Ethernet signal with SIP signalling. There are many manufacturers of ATA's, and you just have to find one that works for you. Personally, I have always had good luck with the Grandstream HandyTone series. They are cheap and well-made, and they have worked with every service I have tried. Check out their website here: http://www.grandstream.com/y-htseries.htm From my experience, Atacomm usually has some of the best prices on Gradstream equipment. You can check out prices here: http://voipstore.atacomm.com/Shops/ViewManufacturer.aspx/27934028032-41716527360.htm Hope this helps. Basically, once you add an ATA, your normal landline phone can now be plugged into a router or bradband modem. The ATA provides dialtone to your handset, as well as ringing voltage and all of the other things your telephone needs to survive.
