Question by Pedro: What do I need to set my home voip phone? Please give me the details?
I want something inexpensive since I am never home. Therefore, vonage, which costs 20 bucks is not a option. I do want to have a local phone number.

Question by Bernard: How can I check if my residential home phone is on a PBX line?
How can i check if my home phone is on a pbx line? O2 say it is and so they won’t let me transfer to them from Talk Talk

Answer by classicsat
No home phone is on a PBX.

Yuo may be on VOIP, with an ATA at the teclo office. There might be something about the TalkTalk pool of assigned numbers that cannot be ported to a mobile phone.

Question by Kenneth M: Can I use Residential Phone service for my business?
Or is that illegal? i’m in California USA. I need to be on the phone pretty often for my business maybe 2,000 minutes per month. A lot of out of state calls, etc.. Vonage has /Month for Residential & /month for business. I call them but their Staff doesn’t know anything. Can I get in trouble if I use the Residential for business?

thanks!

It’s totally fine. Your customer or Vonage or anyone wont know the difference. The difference is going to be in the features that your phone service has. Business accounts have more available features.

If you’re interested I personally recommend Nextiva and Packet8 over Vonage, as they can more easily scale when you need additional features. But, any of the 3 are good phone services for personal or small business usage.

Question by ktf_org: Is there any such thing as successfully sending a text message to a VOIP home phone (not a cell phone)?
I know someone who has a VOIP home phone service and would like to get certain text messages sent to them there and get them via email as opposed to their cell phone. Has anyone ever heard of this idea or if it could be done?

Best answer:

Answer by Richard Holms
Yes, it is called “Text to Land line” (regardless if the number you are trying to push the text to is VOIP it will still work.) I know Sprint does it, so do others.

Here are a few links to check out:
