Cable phone service
From WikiCover
On August 24, 2007, Comcast announced the launch of Comcast Digital Voice in Colorado Springs. Comcast's new IP-enabled voice service offers customers digital-quality phone service with unlimited direct-dial local and domestic long-distance calling, Web access to voicemail, E911 service, and twelve of the most popular calling features such as three-way calling, call waiting, caller ID, speed dial and enhanced voicemail.
Positioned as a replacement for customers' traditional telephone service, Comcast Digital Voice is a less-expensive, fully featured phone service with online services such as call management and Web access to voicemail. Comcast guarantees that Comcast Digital Voice customers will be satisfied, or receive a refund for the first thirty days of service.
Comcast's cable phone service is designed to be easy for the consumer. Comcast technicians will professionally install Comcast Digital Voice in the home -- converting the jacks and existing wiring in the home. Customers can keep their current phone numbers and make and receive an unlimited amount of direct-dial local and domestic long-distance calls for an introductory rate of as little as $39.95 per month. Comcast also offers very competitive international rates, including unlimited calling to Canada.
Comcast has access to the network, systems and capabilities to handle 911/E911 calls the way traditional phone companies do ensuring that calls, location information and telephone numbers are transmitted to the correct local emergency responders.
Comcast's cable telephone service is currently available in more than seventy markets nationwide, reaching 38 million homes.
