What is the Optify Phone service?
Please note: In the event of a power outage or equipment failure at your location, or any loss of service in the network serving your location, such an event may prevent you from being able to make 999/112 calls.
It’s important, therefore, that you ensure you have an alternative means of contacting the emergency services, such as a mobile phone.
The Optify Phone service uses a technology called VoIP (voice-over-internet-protocol) which allows you to use the Internet to make cheap calls over the Optify fibre network, but in a traditional way using a handset.
The technology is very similar to making a FaceTime audio call, or calling someone with WhatsApp, except rather than using your mobile data allowance and a mobile phone network, our phone service uses Optify’s purpose-built fibre network.

You can choose to take a Phone option together with your Optify Home Fibre broadband package.
