We are required by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to advise:
Triple Zero (000) Emergency calls are NOT supported on your VoIP service. In an Emergency you should always use a standard phone service or a mobile phone to call 000.
The number you are issued with as part of the VoIP service is not portable. You cannot take it with you if you disconnect your service from us.
Calls rates are calculated on phone numbers not physical locations. For example, if you have a Bowral number 48010600 and you call a Sydney number 92408788 you will be charged STD rates even if you have logged into your VoIP service in Sydney. If you take your service overseas calls to that country will still be International and calls to Bowral will still be local.
FAQ
What are Ace Phones?
Ace Phone system uses your broadband Internet connection to make phone calls. Your handset looks no different to existing commercial phone systems. You don't need to press any special numbers or do anything differently. It's easy.
What happens when the NBN is rolled out?
Many people are not aware that existing phone systems are unlikely to work when the National Broadband Network is rolled out. This is because the new fibre-optic cable is set to replace Telstra’s copper network.
Will this affect my business phone system?
Yes. If the NBN can be supplied to your area through the fibre-optic cable, your business phone system is very unlikely to work.
In areas where the NBN will only available through wireless and satellite, the existing copper infrastructure will continue to be available for ten years.
Why should we change phone system now?

Excellent. We can provide a demonstration and referrals. See for yourself in a demonstration — it's a quality service.
