All you need is a reliable internet connection together with a VoIP handset or softphone.
Reliable internet connections such as ADSL, iBurst, 3G/HSDPA, LTE, Fibre and WiMax should work well.

A VoIP Line is a direct line service used together with a VoIP telephone (desktop/cordless) or Mobile Softphone. Switch Telecom uses VoIP technology to provide a telephone service over your wired or wireless broadband internet connection.
VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol, or in more common terms a phone service over the Internet.
If you have a reliable internet connection such as DSL, 4G/3G/HSDPA, WiMAX or Fibre, you can get a phone service delivered through your internet connection.
Furthermore, the service, unlike outdated fixed lines, can be moved without requiring a change of telephone number. In addition, Switch Telecom can supply either geographic or non-geographic numbers. Alternatively, you can keep your existing telephone number and port it onto the Switch Telecom Network.
The service is ideally suited for home and small business use. Conversely, a VoIP Trunk or Hosted Switchboard solution is better suited for larger business clients.

Number Porting
Number porting is the transfer of your existing telephone number, or numbers, from your current service provider to the Switch Telecom network.
When you port your number to Switch Telecom, the ported number or numbers will be linked to a cost-effective Switch Telecom solution or multiple solutions depending on your requirements. You can choose from a wide range of solutions which will see a reduction in your existing monthly service fees together with your call charges.
Solutions range from a VoIP Line to the Hosted Switchboard Solution. A VoIP line is predominantly used in homes and for one to two people in small offices. The Hosted Switchboard solution has been designed for small to large enterprises as well as call centres. Corporate clients can also choose a VoIP SIP Trunk if they already have their own VoIP PBX and would like to take advantage of Switch Telecom’s great service and low call rates.
Most importantly, Switch Telecom was one of the first service providers to offer geographic number porting and as a result has perfected the process. We will manage the number porting process in full and as such you will find the entire process quick, easy and non-disruptive.
