Caller ID helps you identify who is calling you. It displays the persons name and number on an LCD display on your phone, or on yor computer.

Allows you to block your phone number from being displayed on the other parties' caller ID. Simply dial *67 before you place the call.

Call Transfer

Transfer your call to any other number in the USA or Canada

*69 Last Caller Info

Dial *69 to hear the last callers phone number, name, and other info.

Fax/Tivo Support

In our experience, fax and Tivo service seems to work just fine with VoIP. Most VoIP providers claim that they don't "officially" support this type of use, although it works with their service. Most providers are working diligently on this issue and expect to offer official support in early 2005. There are reports of thousands of VoIP subscribers who are using their faxes and Tivos with their connection every day.

Online Account Management

Manage your account easily through the Web.

Voicemail

All of the providers featured on voip review offer extended voice mail features. Consult individual providers to find more information on exactly what their voicemail can do.

Keep Your Number - LNP - Local Number Portability

The VOIP providers featured on Voip-review.org offer you the option of keeping the same current number you now have.

Choose Your Area Code

Most VoIP providers offer customers the ability to choose their area code if they need a new phone number. Each provider has different availability, though most offer every major area code.

Virtual Numbers

Most VoIP providers offer 'virtual' phone numbers which ring the customer's primary phone number. Now you can live in Los Angeles, and have a local New York City number for your friends to call.

Toll Free Numbers

Most VoIP providers offer toll free numbers which will ring the main number. Now it's easy for your friends and family all over the country to dial a toll-free number to reach you.

Do Not Disturb

Don Not Disturb allows you to type a code on your phone's keypad and have all calls go immediately to voicemail.

Anonymous Call Block

Anonymous Call Block allows you to type a code on your phone's keypad and have all anonymous calls (those without caller ID information) be blocked.

Network Availability Forwarding

Don't miss any calls even if your Internet connection goes down. Depending on the provider, your calls will be automatically forwarded to the phone number of your choice in the event your Internet connection is disrupted or your telephone adapter is disconnected.

Follow Me

Rings different phone numbers in a preset order. For example, set the system to ring your home first, then, if you do not answer, ring your cell phone. Designed for those who can not afford to miss calls

Softphone

An application that is installed on your desktop or laptop that allows you to make phone calls using SIP protocol Softphones emulate the functionality of VoIP phones. Softphones let you make PC-to-phone, PC-to-PC, and phone-to-PC calls.

International Call Block

Some providers offer an International Call Block feature, which allows you to block and unblock international calling. You'll never have to worry about unintended international calls again.
