How to use your Digital Home Phone

This online user guide will walk you through the basics of your Digital Home Phone service.

Making a call from your Digital Home Phone service is the same as placing a call from a traditional phone line. Simply pick up your handset and dial the telephone number you want to call. Your call will now be connected.

Receiving a call to your Digital Home Phone service is the same as receiving a call from a traditional phone line. When a call comes in to your telephone number, all handsets that are connected through your Digital Home Phone Adapter will ring. Simply answer one of those ringing handsets, and your call will be connected.

There are two ways to access your voicemail:

  1. From Digital Home Phone only: Dial *98 to get to your voicemail.

  2. From another phone: Call your Digital Home Phone number, and then press 7 when the greeting starts.
