    Well as there are so many providers offering VoIP phone service. Same way there are many manufacturers that are selling ATAs or analogue telephone adapters. As mentioned above, ATAs make an ordinary phone sets eligible for the voip calls. My information is if we use voip on the computer, we would not need any kind of ATA. 

  • Martin Coleman

    Yes it is true. If we use VoIP phone service on the computer, we would not need any analoge adapter. However, i would not suggest using voip on the computer. In this way, the phone remains unusable for those family memebers who don’t know how to use computer. 

  • Isaac Max

    Yes VoIP on computer does not work for all family members. If you want to use VoIP at home, you must go for ATA. This is the easiest way to use the voip service. All you need is to configure your ATA. Once it is configured, you would be able to make and receive calls as your normally do. 

  • TreyJabari

    Yes with ATA you can make and receive phone calls just like any normal phone set. However, the ATA you purchase from the market is really difficult to configure. Most of the providers offer ATA free. The advantage is that this ata is a plug and play device and needs no configuration.
