Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes! Taking your existing number with you is called porting. Please fill out a Porting Request Form. Do not disconnect your copper line as we need it to be active to port your number. You will then be automatically disconnected from the copper line network when the porting process is complete.
- Do I need to use a special phone?
No. Your existing analogue phone can be used to connect to your internet phone line.
- Will my phone work if there is a power cut?
Just like your computer needs power, so too does your VoIP phone service. We suggest you read our support article here if you need your phone line for medical use.
- Can I use it as my primary phone line?
Yes you can. However, VoIP needs power to work so we strongly advise you have a mobile phone on hand in case of power outages or emergency situations. Most Lightwire customers do choose to disconnect their copper line though.
- Will my phone have a Voicemail service?
Yes, your phone has a voice-mail service built in that you can access by dailing *55 and entering your PIN
