Will I lose my Home VoIP Service If the Power Goes Out -

Q: I am very interested in getting VoIP, but I live in a somewhat isolated area where power out relatively often. I fear that if I sign for VoIP will I lose the service whenever we have a power outage. Is this a legitimate concern? Are these VoIP companies completely lose service when the power goes out

A: Great questions! In the case of a power failure you lose technically VoIP service in your home because you will lose access to the Internet. However, all the services that we examine not offer features that allow you to always have access to your service in case of power failure.

These features call forwarding or emergency transmission, depending on the service you choose. The two that will not cost you extra money if you choose a VoIP plans we are looking at. Call transfer function - which is what most of the services use during a power failure - sends your call from your VoIP number to another number of your choice. Most services - such as Vonage and VOIPo, among others - offer this service all the time, not just when the power goes out. Others - such as Power and Phone Voip.com, among others -. Emergency supply the reference that returns only calls in case of power failure or other emergency situation where you would have a loss of service

The two functions of reference of call and emergency transfer allows you to transfer calls to a mobile or land line, so in case of power failure, you can always get your service on your cell phone.
