Can I use more than 1 phone with voip.com?
Of course! There are several ways to use multiple phones with your voip.com Internet Phone adapter.
The most popular method is to use a cordless phone system that uses a base unit and additional, or extra, handsets. The “base station” of the cordless phone plugs directly into your Internet Phone Adapter’s Phone 1 jack. You can then place the extra handsets wherever you desire. Popular manufacturers of these cordless phone systems include Uniden, Motorola, and V-Tech (plus many others).
Another method involves using a multiple jack extension connector (available at most electronics stores such as Radio Shack) and then connecting it to phone 1 jack of the Internet Phone Adapter. You would then plug each of your phones into the multiple jack extension
Wireless phone jacks are yet another great method of using multiple phones with your voip service. A Wireless phone jack converts an existing electrical socket into a phone outlet without having to run any phone wires. You can install a wireless phone jack as easily as plugging in a lamp, toaster, or any other device. Simply plug the “base unit” into your voip.com Phone Adapter and then place an extension jack anywhere you would like to have a phone. Many wireless phone jacks (such as those from RCA) have built-in surge protection and allow for as many phone extensions as you need.
