Service includes the following:
- A local Telephone Number
- Porting of your own Telephone Number if desired

The TD family of servers is designed as a one to many device so you will need one individual account and additional channels for the total number of concurrent calls you wish to handle.-
There is no contract for this service and you may end your service at any time. We bill in advance and will refund the prorated amount should you end your service before the completion of the month.
Add this item to your cart and you'll be given the option to add additional channels and DID numbers. Add the extra channels you require for the total number of concurrent calls you wish to handle. The channels price at $19.95 per month and are billed quarterly.
You'll also be given the option to add DID numbers. Remember DIDs and channels are entirely different and you don't have to have the same number of DIDs as channels. DID numbers cost $5/month and like the others are billed quarterly in advance.
If you are confused on what you need, please initate a chat or better yet, give us a call at 800-390-1200 and one of our Sales Consultants will be happy to explain this in detail for you.
DID (Direct Inward Dial)
Inbound-only phone number assigned to a group of phone lines that allows a phone system to route to a unique location or person. A group of DIDs is often assigned to a single trunk group. This is typically offered on digital PRI lines or SIP lines and is the method that gives individual employees their own number. A PRI that can handle 23 simultaneous calls may have hundreds of DIDs pointing to this group, but the maximum number of inbound and outbound calls at any given time is still 23.
IP (Internet Protocol)
A protocol that specifies the way data is broken into packets and the way those packets are addressed for transmission. Unlike traditional telephone lines which create a straight path from caller to recipient; IP uses the best available path at any given moment to move data packets between point A & point B. The beauty of IP is that the sending end and receiving end communicate success in sending and receiving to insure all data packets are delivered. A really great concept of IP is that of self healing. If a route is broken and the data packets cannot be delivered an alternate route is automatically selected.
Server
The central processor in a network. In our case the server supports the telephony functions in a VoIP network. It manages the connections between the phone lines and the telephones, voicemail, etc.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
This is simply the carrying of voice via IP meaning a standard voice stream is broken into packets at the transmit end, sent over a standard data network (such as the Internet) and reassembled into a voice stream at the receiving end. VoIP traffic is trickier than normal data traffic because the timing of packets on the receiving end is critical. For more detail see Basics of the Internet.
