About VoIP
Voice over IP or VoIP is a method whereby phone calls can be made over your broadband connection. By doing this you can make massive savings on your phone bill. For example, using our VoIP network you can ring any landline in Australia and only pay 15c for the call,— untimed. That means you can talk as long as you like and the most it will cost is 15c to a landline number.
VoIP is compatible with ADSL1, ADSL2+ and Fixed Wireless Broadband *. It is not available on our Mobile Broadband product.
Traditionally, our VoIP product has only allowed you to make outbound phone calls. We now also offer a two way VoIP service which not only allows you to make phone calls but to receive them via the same service. If you are a Fixed Wireless customer, you can potentially escape your home phone line rental by disconnecting your standard landline and moving to two way VoIP *. You can even keep your existing phone number by requesting a number transfer.
* This service is only available from within the Aussie Broadband network.
* The use of VoIP as a primary line is not recommended for people that require priority phone access or if the service is your only means of calling 000.
Should you experience a power failure at your property, this service will not work without power.
