VOIP Phones

‎09-13-2011 08:12:51 AM

Sorry if this has been hashed to death in this forum, but here it goes.

 

I have ATT Uverse voice and am okay paying for that service.  But I want to use an IP phone with ATT Uverse Voice so that I can tap into features like accessing my extensive address book on my MAC.  Can I use a VOIP phone on the ATT Uverse Voice service now? 

 

Thanks in advance for all replies!

You can not use a VoIP "phone" on Uvoice since the RG outputs standard dial tone.  If you wanted to use a VoIP phone you would have to get a seperate SIP VoIP phone and sign up with a carrier like Vonage, etc.  That phone would connect to your RG or a data switch and access the services thru the internet connection.
