Landline phone
They say the landline is dead and then it turns out it's the number on the shop sign, in the doctor's appointment book and in the head of half the family. You can keep it, and it costs 5 € a month.
If the landline wasn't useful to anyone, there wouldn't be more than a thousand ringing every day around here.
And the doctor, and the pharmacy, and the school. It's the number that's been in the paper address books of half the family for forty years. Changing it isn't a procedure, it's telling everyone.
On the shop sign, on the van, on the business cards you ordered two years ago and on the Google listing someone made for you. A new landline means repainting everything.
In the village, in the basement or when the mobile tower is having a bad day, the landline keeps ringing. For someone who lives alone, that's not a small thing.
No unlocking, no looking for the app, no updates. You pick it up and talk. Sometimes good technology is the kind you already know.
The number is yours, not the operator's. If you already have a landline, it comes with you as is: same nine digits, same address book, same shop sign. Only who charges you for it changes.
You bring us a recent invoice from your operator and tell us who the account holder is. We file the portability and let you know the day of the change; the old line goes away on its own when the new one comes in.
This can't be done from the web form. We need to check your details, so it's processed by talking: via WhatsApp, by phone or visiting a shop.
Bring me my numberWe give you a new number from the province and it starts working with the activation. You can request this online: add it as an add-on when contracting the fibre, or tell us and we'll activate it on the one you already have.
The phone plugs into the router, no need to install anything else or have anyone come to drill holes in the wall.
Add it to my fiberNo setup fee, no commitment and no separate line fee like others charge. If one month you decide you don't want it, you cancel it and that's it.
Something you should know: the landline runs over the internet, so if the power or fiber goes out, the phone won't work either. It's the same thing that happens to any fiber landline, no matter which operator. If there's someone at home who might need to call in an emergency, make sure they also have a mobile phone handy.
Yes, you can bring it over. Just so you know: porting a landline can't be done through the website form, it has to be done manually with the account holder and current line details. Write to us or come by the store with an invoice from your operator and we'll get it set up.
No. It's internet telephony: it runs over your fiber and the phone plugs into the router. You don't need to activate any separate physical line or pay anyone else's fee.
Then the landline doesn't work, just like the WiFi doesn't work. That's the tradeoff for it running over the internet instead of copper. If there's someone at home who depends on the phone to call for help in an emergency, it's a good idea for them to also have a charged mobile phone.
It doesn't get cut off: anything over the allowance gets billed separately on your next bill, and we'll tell you the rate before you sign up. With 500 minutes to landlines and 100 to mobiles per month, most people never go over.
You can call, but it doesn't count toward the allowance: those calls get billed separately. If you usually call outside, let us know beforehand and we'll tell you what it costs so you don't get any surprises.
The landline runs on the connection, so normally you'd have it with our fiber. If your situation is different, give us a call and we'll look into it: there are solutions, but it depends on how your home setup works.
If you already have a landline, we'll bring it over with the same number. And if you don't, we'll give you a new one the same day. Either way, someone here will take care of you.
