A Linksys phone adapter allows high quality telephone service through your existing cable or DSL internet connection. The phone adapter just needs to be plugged into a home router or gateway and the standard telephone jacks are connected to your existing phones or fax machines.
Linksys phone adapter PAP2 is an internet phone adapter with two ports. Each phone port operates independently, with a separate phone service and phone numbers – like having two phone lines at once. You will receive a clear reception and a good fax connection even if you are using the internet at the same time. The Linksys internet phone adapter is also compatible with special telephone features provided by your Internet telephony service provider such as caller ID, call waiting, voicemail etc.
Considering all the features of a Linksys PAP2 phone adapter, and the convenience that it provides when wanting to make phone calls over the internet, the price does not seem very high. It can be found for starting from about $50 online from sales sites. If you want it to be even cheaper, and don’t mind buying used products, then this device can be found starting from about $30 from auction sites like eBay. Used and refurbished products are also available from sales sites, and these are available for about $40.
While comparing prices for the PAP2 phone adapter from different sales sites and/or auction sites, check the shipping charges. Some sites do not have any shipping charges, and while they may sell the product slightly higher because of that, you might be getting a better deal than buying from a company or sales site which has a lower price but high shipping costs.
There are also different models of Linksys VoIP phone adapters, mostly older versions, available for under $20 from sale sites and auction sites. These are used, but with such attractive prices that even if you do not want to purchase a phone adapter because of seldom needing two phone jacks when using your internet to make phone calls, you might be tempted into buying one since it is such a good deal. These promise the same thing as their more expensive counterparts – that depending on your internet telephone service provider, you will be able to attain special phone features like low domestic and international phone rates, caller ID, call waiting etc. So while deals like these can be found, it is better to invest in newer and latest models if they fit your budget and will be frequently used as those devices will have updated technology and be more long lasting.
