Voice over IP Internet telephony or Voice over IP (VoIP) can be defined as the transfer of
telephone calls over your Internet connection.
The SpeedTouch™ VoIP
solution
With your SpeedTouch™ you can make Internet and regular telephone calls using
traditional analogue phones, connected to your SpeedTouch™.
Multi-line service The voice service on your SpeedTouch™ provides additional lines without the need
for additional copper pairs. The additional lines allow you to make and receive
several internal and external Internet calls simultaneously.
Fax You can also connect a fax machine to your SpeedTouch™ in order to send and
receive faxes over your Internet connection or over the traditional phone line.

service provider will tell you whether the ‘@’ can be formed on your phone
by dialing a ‘1’, ‘*’, or ‘#’.
