What’s the difference between broadband telephony and Voice over IP?

Both concepts refer to the same type of technology. Broadband telephony uses your broadband (or high-speed) Internet connection to route phone calls. Voice over IP means phone calls are routed over IP network. In both cases, the network that calls are routed over can be the public Internet or a private IP network. With GP VOiCE, all cases are routed over a private network so the highest quality of service can be maintained.

What is PSTN?

PSTN stands for Public Switched Telephone Network. This is the traditional analog phone network that was established as part of the old Bell system.

Can we use our existing phone handsets on your network?

To access our network and services, you will need a SIP based IP phone. A traditional handset will not work on the GP VOiCE network. However, you may be able to use and Internet Access Device that connects to your existing phone. We have tested numerous IP phones and have selected the ones with the best functionality and reliability. So, to ensure the best quality service, we offer three model choices to business customers.

Is the voice quality the same as what we’re used to getting from traditional phone network?

Yes. Because GP VOiCE calls are transmitted over a private network and not the public internet, you can be assured of the best voice quality available.

Do you provide any Web support?

GP VOiCE provides each customer with Web interface tools. You can access your account via the web and perform a variety of administrative and technical functions.
