NerdPhone provides you with toll-quality calls using VOIP. Using a special device to convert your voice calls into IP packets, we transmit those IP packets over
SuperNerd’s VOIP network out to the public standard telephone network. Our specially designed network for VOIP transmission ensures the high quality of your
VOIP calls.
To allow us to maintain a consistent high quality of your calls, NerdPhone is only provided in conjunction with a SuperNerd broadband service.
