traditional analogue phones, connected to your SpeedTouch™.
Multi-line service Moreover, 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.

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 ‘#’.
