AcePhone Voice over IP

What is it?
Exactly how it sounds, we transmit your voice over the internet. You don't even need to be technical to use it; you still pick up your telephone and dial a specific number to reach someone, wait til they pick up and talk away!

What does it cost?
A lot less than calling on your standard telephone. Because it's transmitted over the internet, we can offer further discounted rates on your national and international calls! Best of all, you would receive 1000 FREE minutes of AcePhone to AcePhone talk time every month.

What do I need?
Voice over IP requires a Broadband internet connection, preferably 256k/64k speed for optimum clarity.

You will also require a VoIP telephone or Adapter to use the Voice over IP system.

The AcePhone VoIP telephone connects to your ADSL modem using an Ethernet network cable (CAT5) just like your computer. You can use your normal telephone for local calls and the VoIP telephone to call over the internet.

The other option is to use an AcePhone telephone adapter. The adapter connects to your ADSL modem using an Ethernet network cable (CAT5) like before, however you can then plug a standard telephone into the adapter. There are a range of telephone adapters available including 'smart' ones that can channel local calls through your normal telephone line and long distance calls through the internet. Contact us about choosing the right adapter for you!

How does it work?
Calling long distance isn't changed at all. If dialling international destinations you still press 0011 before the country code and so on.

If you wanted to call someone else on the internet you would need to dial their Enum. Enum is an international internet telephone number. Think of it as an Eletronic telephone number just like Email is Eletronic mail. Currently Enum is being trialled in Australia but has already taken off in other parts of the world.

Enums, like Domain Names, must be registered every year, currently it is $22 for one year. Your Enum also shares some information about where you are in the world. For example, Acenet's Enum is 61 5900 91411

Australia's country code is 61, the registrar the Enum is registered through is 5900 and we chose 91411 as it is the last 5 digits of our Brisbane telephone number. But you can chose the last 5 digits of your Enum, as long as no one else has it already!

Am I locked into a contract?
No!
