Engine VOIP Service:

What Is Engin?

Engin is Australia's leading broadband telephone company.
Traditionally, VoIP technology has only been used by large corporations that can afford to invest in this cost saving technology. Since 2004 Engin has been offering this same technology directly to residential and small business customers.
We were the first broadband phone service to be broadly available to Australian consumers and businesses, and the first on the shelves of major retailers. Today we provide services to almost half of the broadband phone market.*

Engin allows any broadband user to make and receive calls over the internet whilst using their existing telephone or an Engin Internet phone. The easy to use service drastically reduces customers phone bills, whilst offering a range of free included features enabling users to actively control their own calls.

How Does VoIP Work?

Engin connects directly to your broadband internet connection. Simply plug an Engin VoIP phone into your broadband modem-router. Or plug in an Engin voice box that is connected to your existing home phone. Then, when you pick up your phone, we route your calls over the internet using SIP technology (session initiation protocol).

Unlike some VoIP services, with Engin your computer doesn't need to be switched on to make a call, so it doesn't matter whether you use Mac or a PC. So long as your broadband connection is operating, you should be able to call with Engin.

Switching to Engin Is Quick and Easy

If you have ever tried to switch phone companies you'll know how hard it can be. With Engin, you can switch in next to no time. If you use ADSL for your broadband you will need to keep paying for line rental with your existing company, just stop using them for phone calls. Cable customers can stop paying line rental and save even more. Either way, you just plug in your Engin device, activate your service and start making internet calls.

Keeping Your Phone Number

Most Engin phones and voice boxes can connect you to our VoIP service, whilst staying connected to your old phone connection. That way people can still call you on your old number, and you can still make outgoing calls with your old provider if there's a powercut or you temporarily lose your broadband connection.
