Should I disconnect my copper line telephone?

Telephone calls over the broadband network may occasionally be affected by Internet congestion, and depends on electricity being available at your home. A number of our customers do choose to disconnect from the copper line network, especially if they have good cellular phone coverage as a backup.

Taking your existing number with you is called “porting”, and has a one-off cost of $20.00, and will disconnect you from the copper line network. This porting fee will be added to your monthly invoice.



Telephone Adaptors

You will need a telephone adapter in order to plug your existing telephone into the service. Rural Link supplies two standard options, although other alternatives can be used (talk to us for more information).

 

Linksys PAP2T is an entry-level phone adapter that lets you connect a standard telephone to the broadband network. It has a second telephone port for an additional line, with an independent phone number.
The PAP2T is not recommended for use with a fax machine.

 

Linksys SPA2102 is an advanced telephone adapter that provides two standard telephone ports for two telephone lines, each with an independent phone number.

A fax machine may be used on either of these ports. Faxability is not supported – you will need a separate line with a separate phone number.
