For instance, the first line of the phone can be connected to a regular phone jack while the second line connected to the adapter. The user then has an option of selecting line one or two to make a traditional or VoIP call. Either type of incoming calls will ring at the same phone.

This product should simplify the adoption of our low cost high quality VoIP services by allowing our customers to keep their phone sets and familiar phone features.
