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).
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.
