Yes, you use an ATA, plug the existing analog handset into that. One of the cheapest ways to get voip is with the MyNetFone Whirlpool offer. You can get an ata for an effective price of just $10 and just plug it between your existing analog handset and the router and its all setup so you just pick up the handset and start making calls etc. https://www.mynetfone.com.au/whirlpool/VoIP/Whirlpool-Shop/Bring-Your-Own-Device Then you need this box to make the calls with on your normal phone, thats the ATA https://www.mynetfone.com.au/offers/whirlpool/whirlpool-specials/mitron-page-501/ That way you pay no monthly fee at all and pay just 10c for each call you make to other than mobiles. Some other plans can make more sense if you make a lot of overseas calls, and pennytel can be much better value with overseas calls too.

If you get an ATA something like the Linksys 3102 I think the model was, then you can connect the VOIP and your normal phone line to a plain house phone.

Nope, the cheapest ATA only costs $10. Everyone who makes any calls at all will end up ahead quite quickly with a 15c saving on calls. > If you get an ATA something like the Linksys 3102 I think the model was, then you can connect the VOIP and your normal > phone line to a plain house phone. Yes, but that is a lot more than $10.
