Yes. No matter where you are in New Zealand, Callnet can provide you with a VOIP connection. Just make sure you have a broadband internet connection first.

Installation varies from customer to customer and from product to product – so it really depends upon what services you will be ordering.

Please see this page for detailed information.

If you lose your internet connection you can setup your phones to automatically redirect to another number (e.g. your mobile) so you will not lose any incoming calls.

The Callnet service requires power to work – your broadband modem and PC will not function without it.

However you can use the Remote Access services if you have no power at your current location.

Most monitored alarm services will not work on a VoIP line unless you have special hardware and an alarm monitoring company setup to do this.

AlarmNZ are one of the few providers in NZ who are setup and can monitor alarms via a broadband internet connection http://www.alarmnz.com

Or you can simply retain a single analogue phone line for use with your alarm system.

Callnet’s Faxmail also uses T.38. Faxes are delivered real time to your specified email inbox.

When you send a fax it is delivered real time to the recipient. You receive email confirmation on whether your fax has been sent successfully or not.

The Callnet fax service uses the T.38 standard to send and receive real time fax over IP, enabling fax machines from different vendors to interoperate. In the T.38 architecture, fax signals are demodulated at the voice/ fax gateway and sent over the IP network as IP fax packets using either TCP or UDP, depending on the service environment.

TCP provides 100% error-free transmission, but the downside is reduced real-time performance. Routers discard TCP packets first when congestion occurs. UDP has good real-time performance, since routers do not discard datagrams as readily as TCP packets. However, the downside of UDP is a reduced quality of service. It is possible for datagrams to get lost, arrive out of order, or to be duplicates.

At the other end of the IP network, the remote gateway decodes IP fax packets and regenerates fax signals.
