Traditionally, a phone conversation is converted to electronic signals that traverse an elaborate network of switches in a dedicated circuit that lasts the duration of a call. In Voice over Internet Protocol, your conversation is converted to packets of data that travel over the internet or private networks, just like emails or web pages, through voice packets that get priority status. The packets get re-assembled and converted to sound on the other end of the call. The quality of the service is nearly identical to, or sometimes better than, traditional phone service. You may use any number of computers on your broadband service while talking on the phone. The system automatically gives priority to your voice traffic to ensure quality of service.
If you request a battery backup, BrightRidge offers UPS back-up via a per-month charge. UPS installation is free during the initial install of the Voice service. BrightRidge Voice Network uses a private connection, not a public internet connection.
Yes. When you sign up for BrightRidge Broadband Voice service, you may choose to “port” (transfer) your existing phone number over to our service. BrightRidge will provide a Line Number Port authorization (LNP) form, allowing us to contact your current carrier and port your number. It’s critical that the LNP have the exact same address and account number your current carrier has on record. Those can be obtained from a recent bill from your current provider. Should you wish to port an existing number, it is important to NOT disconnect the number with your current provider. Doing so will prevent us from be able to port it and the number could also be lost.
