Although similar in nature, a digital phone line is not the same as a landline. sure, you use a normal telephone, dial the same, answer calls the same, and calling features like voice mail, caller ID, and others work the same as well, but the technology used for sending and receiving voice signals is different in a digital line versus a regular landline.

Digital Voice

This is a term used by a lot of landline companies to describe their digital phone service, otherwise known as VoIP. In the future these providers may do away with landline service completely. AT&T, and Verizon are already in negotiations with the FCC to get this started. Digital voice is not only cheaper for you, it’s also much cheaper for the telephone companies since they would not need to maintain an expensive landline infrastructure.

Cable Landline

There is no such thing. People get confused, because they associate the use of a regular house phone with landline service. the only telephone service a cable provider offers is digital, or digital cable phone, and some may refer to their product as digital voice as well. this is also VoIP just as with the telephone companies, and it works exactly the same way.

VoIP Digital Phone

Independent, or stand alone VoIP companies are the one’s who started the whole digital phone service revolution. both cable, and telecom providers use this technology for their digital voice systems. it used to be called broadband phone, but is now more commonly referred to as digital phone service. VoIP is hugely successful, because it was nearly half the cost of traditional phone service, but with more calling features, and flexibility. all you need is a high-speed Internet connection, VoIP router, and a regular touch tone telephone.

VoIP Software VS Hardware

It’s easy to get digital telephone confused with computer software, and mostly because of the term VoIP. while VoIP does make it possible to make calls from your computer to other computers, or landline, and cell phones, it’s still computer software. Digital phone uses a VoIP router instead of software, and is connected to a normal house phone. There is no need for a microphone, headset, or computer speakers when you have digital phone service.

Whole House VoIP

In the early day of broadband telephone, you were only able to use one phone that was connected to the VoIP router. Today that’s changed. For starters, many cable providers set up their digital phone systems so you can have multiple handsets throughout your house. Similarly, some VoIP providers offer expandable base VoIP phones with a built in router. By expandable base, I mean you can get multiple handsets, and place them anywhere in your home where you have an electrical outlet.

Digital Calling Plans

VoIP is not only cheap, it’s very flexible. You can get unlimited local calling, or unlimited local plus long distance, unlimited local with a cent per minute long distance plan, and you can even get International. VoIP is the cheapest way to make international calls by far. There simply is no cheaper way to do it, and probably won’t be for some time. It’s also the cheapest home phone service today. as of now, there is absolutely nothing cheaper.
