Xplore Home Phone

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows you to make phone calls using an Internet connection instead of a traditional phone line. VoIP converts your voice into digital signals that travel over the Internet. Some of the main features of VoIP services like Xplore Home Phone include cost savings, flexibility, and the ability to use advanced features like voicemail, call forwarding, and caller ID.

VoIP services like Xplore Home Phone work by converting your voice into digital signals that are transmitted over the Internet.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones require both an internet connection and electrical power to operate. This means that during a power outage, your VoIP phone service will not function unless you have a backup power solution in place.

Unlike traditional landline phones, which often continue working during outages, VoIP service depends on powered equipment like your modem, router, and phone adapter.

To help you stay connected during emergencies, we recommend:

• Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to keep your internet and VoIP equipment running during short-term outages.

• Having a mobile phone as a backup communication method.

• Ensuring your VoIP service includes Enhanced 911 (E911) so emergency services can locate you quickly.
