If you’re wondering what VoIP is, maybe EarthTel is not for you... Only kidding, VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol, and simply put allows you to make and receive calls over you're broadband internet connection. The main reason for using VOIP is to save costs on traditionally expensive mobile, interstate and international calls.

Encoo supports number porting from Telstra, Optus and AAPT. To port a number, all you need to do is fill out THIS simple porting form, listing the numbers you wish to port and submit the application. Typically porting takes between two to four weeks, during this time we will provide you with a temporary phone number/s.

We operate an Australian based voice network, with switching equipment located in multiple data centres around the country. On top of this, we peer with a range of carriers here in Australia and abroad, only using lossless codecs. This ensures minimal latency and near CD quality audio. In short you get amazing quality voice calls using our VoIP services.

If you wish to have friends and family contact you on your VoIP phone, it’s as simple as purchasing a Direct In Dial (DID) in your location. Once assigned, friends and family can start calling you on that phone number from any phone.
