NodePhone® - Voice over Broadband

NodePhone®What is NodePhone?

NodePhone is a new kind of phone service that allows you to make and receive voice calls over your broadband connection, instead of using the 'Plain Old Telephone Service'; or POTS. It allows you to call and communicate with friends, colleagues and others, whether those people are also using NodePhone, or whether they are using a conventional telephone service.

NodePhone adds new capabilities to your existing phone handsets, and provides access to very attractive 'Internet era', distance-independent call rates. It delivers call quality that is as good, if not better than, conventional phone services - at a low, fixed-cost rate to all standard landline services Australia-wide. It also provides excellent mobile and international calling rates!

What plans are available?

There are three plans available:

  • NodePhone1 - allows you to make outbound calls to the standard phone network, as well as make and receive calls to and from other NodePhone users.
  • NodePhone2-Value - allows you to make and receive calls to and from the standard phone network as well as other NodePhone users, also includes Voice Mail.
  • NodePhone2-Premium - all the features of NodePhone2-Value, plus $15 per month of included calls.

Why is NodePhone preferable to other VoIP calling services?

  • There are other VoIP calling services on the market. But NodePhone is different. NodePhone is delivered over Internode's own network so, unlike many offerings on the market, it doesn't rely on the performance of a partner's network.
  • Through intelligent network design and carrier grade voice switches, NodePhone over Internode broadband provides a high-quality, high-reliability service that other VoIP providers simply can't match.
  • As is usually the case with network-based services, you may not 'hear' the difference on a good day, but on a bad day when someone else's network is experiencing problems, NodePhone will continue on unaffected.

Talk with your friends for free!

If both you and your friends are connected using NodePhone, you can both enjoy calls to each other free of charge - so when a friend joins NodePhone, you both benefit!

Connecting with NodePhone is easy

  • The NodePhone service can be accessed via any broadband Internet service speed of 512 kbps download and 128 kbps upload or greater; although for the best quality an Internode broadband service is recommended.
  • If you don't currently have an ADSL router, Internode can supply you with an all-in-one ADSL router which has Voice over IP capability - the Billion 7404VGP-M. Simply plug your existing telephone or cordless into the modem and you're ready to go.
  • If you already have an ADSL router, we can provide you with an analogue telephone adapter to make you NodePhone capable. It's called the Open 812L analog telephone adaptor. Again, just plug in your existing phone or cordless base station, and you're ready to go.
  • You can seamlessly switch between NodePhone and your traditional phone service. In fact, NodePhone automatically uses your old standard voice phone line for calls not handled by NodePhone, or for any time when NodePhone may be unavailable. Incoming calls on your conventional phone line continue to work as normal.
