How do Lightwire phone lines work?

Lightwire phone lines are Voice over IP (VoIP) connections which means that the line is connected via your internet connection. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It’s a technology that allows you to make voice calls over the internet instead of using traditional phone lines. 

You can use Lightwire phone lines as your primary phone; however, we recommend having a mobile phone on hand in case of power outages or emergency situations.  VoIP requires power and internet and so will not work during a power cut. VoIP does not use any of your data. 

Here are some key points about VoIP:

• Cost-Effective:
  Often cheaper than traditional phone services, especially for long-distance or international calls.
• Flexible:
  Can be used with various devices, including smartphones, computers, and specialized VoIP phones.
• Features:
  Typically offers additional features like voicemail, call forwarding, and video calls.
• Internet-Dependent:
  Requires a stable internet connection to ensure clear and reliable calls.
