Question: How does this benefit me?
Answer: In a number of ways. The first being that it will save you money! You will save the expense of paying for telephone calls, local and long distance, when using the OregonFAST.net broadband VoIP system. The second benefit is that it will allow you an extra line to make outgoing telephone calls. Then you will not "tie up" your regular line. It would even allow you to turn off a telephone line and save the cost of a telephone bill.
Another benefit is for the people who have very good cell phone coverage, in their homes, and don't really use their regular telephone line. Those people could actually discontinue the regular telephone line, use their cell phone for incoming calls and the OregonFAST.net broadband VoIP telephone for outgoing calls. What a great way to cut expenses! Many of OregonFAST.net broadband customers already have discontinued their regular Qwest telephone line and rely on their cell phone. Having the OregonFAST.net VoIP would allow them to save on cell phone minutes.
Question: Can I receive INCOMING telephone calls?
Answer: Yes

Question: Is this for residential or business?

So, the benefit of a business to have broadband services with the OregonFAST.net VoIP service really makes sense.
