What makes SCTEL's home telephone service via broadband different from plain old telephone service (POTS)?
Because it uses your broadband internet connection, this service includes more features than plain old telephone service for free (such as caller id, call waiting, and three-way calling); and it includes enhanced features such as delivery of your voicemail to your e-mail account, call forwarding, and anonymous call rejection.

Is it operated differently from my regular phone service?
No, just pick up the receiver and start dialing. The person you call doesn't have to use SCTEL service to receive your call, and your incoming calls will come through from anywhere in the world just as they always have.
