Can I use my voip phone and computer at the same time?

Yes, you can. With voip, you?ll use your regular phone exactly the way you always have. You can be online at the same time or even shut your computer off completely. If you notice audio problems during bandwidth-heavy activities, like online gaming or BitTorrent downloads, simply pause the activities during phone calls or consider upgrading your connection speed.
