Digital telephone is the next generation of home telephone service that provides consumers with an alternative to traditional phone service.

It allows access to more features and better functionality, like unlimited calling, all with no hidden charges or fees. The main difference is that digital phone calls travel over a high-speed Internet connection instead of a copper-line wire network. But other than the way calls are carried behind the scenes, you can use digital phone service the same way you use traditional phone service, and some providers will connect to your existing phone jacks.

Better values and more features
How does digital telephone service compare with traditional telephone service?

Not only does digital telephone give you many advanced services you can't find with traditional service, it can also be less expensive. With digital telephone, in most cases, you can make unlimited calls throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico -- all for one low price. Digital phone continues to have many of the popular features you're accustomed to -- features such as Caller ID, Call Waiting and *69 -- frequently without the "per use" cost the older, traditional telephone companies charge. Add to that advanced features such as access to your voicemail over the Web and it seems that traditional phone service has met its match.
