You can make telephone calls over an Internet connection with VoIP.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an Internet-based telephone service that allows you to call most numbers in the world without using an actual landline. You can use any telephone with your VoIP service, but for the phone to work, you must properly set up your VoIP account and install a VoIP adapter, which turns the Internet connection into a telephone service.
Instructions
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the "Out" ports on the high-speed Internet modem. Insert the opposite end of the cable into the "In" port on the VoIP adapter.
2. Connect one end of the telephone cable into an "Out" port on the VoIP adapter, then attach the free end of the cable into the "In" port on the side of your telephone. You can use a telephone you had originally on your land-line service, or any other phone you desire.
3. Power on the VoIP adapter and open the Internet browser on the computer. Navigate to the VoIP adapter manufacturer's website. This is the company you are going to subscribe to service with.
4. Select to activate your account, then provide any information asked of you, such as your name, address and billing information. Choose a telephone number with your local area code, then submit your payment. Once the company receives your payment, the VoIP telephone and other equipment becomes active, allowing you to make and receive telephone calls with the Internet connection.
