Our
Digital Phone service is a technology that allows you
to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection
instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Digital Phone
service converts your voice into a digital signal that
travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular
phone number, the signal is converted to a regular telephone
signal before it reaches the destination.
Digital Phone service can allow you to make a call
directly from a computer, a special Digital Phone, or a
traditional phone connected to a special adapter. In
addition, wireless “hot spots” in locations such as
airports, parks, and cafes allow you to connect to the
Internet and may enable you to use Digital Phone service
wirelessly. In other words, you can make a “local” phone
call using your laptop and adaptor from, say, the Los
Angeles International Airport.
All Digital Phone Service accounts
include the following premium features:
-
Caller-ID
Ever want to know who was calling without answering the
phone? Well now you can. When someone calls, your
phone's Caller ID display, if available, will show the
number of the person calling.
-
Caller-Name
By adding Caller-Name to your plan, you can see the name
of the person calling you as well as the number (if the
caller's information is available).
-
Voicemail
Every phone line comes with a free voicemail box.
Voicemail is available almost anywhere in Michigan.
-
Call
Blocking
Stop harassing and unwanted phone calls by blocking
certain numbers. This is a feature found only on Voice
over Internet Protocol phone systems.
-
Call
Return (*69)
With this feature, you can now call back the person who
just called you without knowing the number.
-
Call
Waiting
With call waiting, you can accept calls even
while you're on the phone. When someone is calling, you
will hear a beep on the line; when this happens, simply
press the flash button on your phone and it will place
the original caller on hold and pick up the other
incoming call. To switch back, simply press flash again
and you'll go back to the first person you were talking
to.
-
3-Way Calling
With 3-Way calling, you'll be able to call and talk
to two people at once.
