How it Works
While the technology behind digital phone service from your cable company is advanced, it works the same way you would expect a traditional phone to work. You dial and answer your phone exactly the same way and you can use the same phones that you use with traditional phone service — digital phone does the rest. It converts voice signals from your telephone into a collection of digital “packets” that are converted back into a voice signal at the other end. The person you are calling can be either a traditional or digital phone customer, and will hear your voice in your natural way — just like a regular phone. This state-of-the-art, next generation technology makes your calls “digital,” meaning you get crystal clear voice quality.
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.
