    What is Netphone?

    Netphone is the name of our VoIP plan. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It is a method for taking analogue audio signals (like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone), and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet.

    Basically, using VoIP allows you to make calls using the Internet (using additional hardware) to phone numbers you would usually call at a reduced cost or in some cases, for free. If you are phoning another person using the same VoIP provider then the call will be totally free.

    What is iiTalk?

    iiTalk is a VoIP service that comes free with every Naked DSL service.

    What do we offer?

    TransACT offer our own state of the art telephone service that allows you to make cut price telephone calls over the Internet using VoIP technology. Netphone converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet then converts it back at the other end so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number. Netphone works very similar to a conventional telephone service but with many additional features.

    What are some advantages of Netphone?

    • Savings off your regular phone bill
    • High quality sound
    • Get your family and friends on VoIP and make calls for free
    • Free basic products including call forwarding, voice mail, three-way calling and more
    • Low $9.95 monthly fee (free for iiTalk)

    How do I qualify for Netphone?

    To be eligible for Netphone you need one of our current broadband plans.
