The trueVoice solution comes in a kit which includes
the EarthLink Internet phone service and either a Linksys Phone Adapter or a
Wireless-G Router with two phone ports. Customer may also sign up for the
service at Circuit
City’s web site.
trueVoice customers receive unlimited local, regional
and long-distance calling on their home phones for calls made throughout the US and Canada. There is no extra charge
for a number of enhanced features, like voicemail, call forwarding and
three-way calling. E911 services are also provided, and customers have the
convenience of managing their accounts through EarthLink’s myVoice portal.
The start-up kits are available with an ATA box that
works with a standard router, and in another configuration with a Wireless G
Broadband router offering a built-in ATA for home networking. The ATA converts
analog to digital signals and once a phone is plugged into the box, it receives
a dial tone and high-quality voice connection.

sound quality and supported by EarthLink’s years of Internet experience.”

solutions that make our customers’ lives easier,” said Robert Eckard, Circuit City digital services buyer. “Our
