How Do I Use Packet8?

Using Packet8 is very easy. Once you’ve subscribed to the service using Packet8’s online store, you will be sent either a broadband phone adapter (for free), or a videophone at a greatly reduce priced, depending upon which plan you have chosen. You will need a 10 digit activation code to use the equipment, and you can choose to either keep your existing phone number or be given a new phone number with the area code you would like to use.

How Does Packet8 Work?

Packet8 uses an exciting technology called VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Packet8 sends all calls to and from you through the broadband phone service adapter or the videophone, which then routes the calls over the Internet. This means that you’ll never have to dial extra numbers and you won’t have to talk through your computer. You won’t have to do anything special to make phone calls – simply pick up the phone and dial as you would normally. Your phone will ring as it always has for incoming calls.

What’s more, you’ll enjoy very high quality phone calls! Your phone bill will be a lot less than it has been in the past (especially for those long distance calls), and you’ll never be charged extra for services like call waiting or caller ID.

What Do I Need To Use Packet8?

You’ll need to have a broadband Internet connection like cable or DSL, a home router that allows you to share your Internet connection with multiple computers, a Packet8 Plan and the hardware described above. Once you have all of this, you’re good to go!
