The adapter is programmed to receive a voice signal and telephone number transmitted by the telephone. Based on the telephone number, the adapter determines whether to (i) pass the telephone number through to the utility line, or (ii) pass a different access number through to the utility line. A first server then receives voice signal through the telephone utility line, and to send the voice signal as a series of packets through a packet switched network to a second server. The second server is programmed to transmit and receive the voice signal to a second telephone via another telephone utility line. The service is based on a flat-fee subscription.

Appl. No.:

11/969409

Inventors:

Sean Ryan - Laguna Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352

Abstract:

Systems and methods allow an analog phone line to concurrently carry both non-packetized data from a telephone handset and packetized data from a computer to a common network access number. An access device is provided to connect the handset and the computer to a common phone line, which provides both VoIP connectivity and Internet access. Since the access number is located within the user's local calling area, the inventive system avoids long distance charges that would otherwise be applied to Internet connectivity and long distance phone calls.
