What is Digital Telephone?
Digital Telephone allows you to make and receive calls through your broadband
Internet connection using a standard touch tone phone.
Your Conway Corporation digital telephone service works with any touch tone, corded
or cordless telephone. Our cable modem converts your phone calls into a data stream
that is sent through your high-speed Internet connection. You can call anywhere at any
time for less, and your phone number can go everywhere you do!
Making Calls with Conway Corporation Digital
Telephone
You can make calls by dialing the number on your phone, as you always have.
For calls within your area code, you may dial 7, 10 or 11 digits.
Example: 555-1212, 859-555-1212 or 1-859-555-1212
When dialing outside your area code, you may use 10 or 11 digits.
Example: 859-555-1212 or 1-859-555-1212
To activate the International calling feature you will need to contact Conway
To place international calls, dial just as you would with a standard analog telephone.
(International Access Code + Country Code + City Code + Number)
Example: 011 + 39 (Italy) +81 (Naples) +Number
To answer a call pick up your phone’s handset like you always have.

Important 911 Information
While the 911 system through Conway Corporation’s Digital Telephone services
will work very similarly to your standard analog telephone, there are a few important
differences of which you need to be aware.
• If you move, you will need to call our support line at 501-450-6000 to update
your information. It may take a few days to activate and change your 911 feature,
so please think ahead when planning a move.
• Electrical or broadband outages can prevent 911 dialing with our system. As your
phone service is relying on both your broadband connection and electrical power,
if these go out, so will your telephone service. Once the power and broadband
connection returns, your system will function properly again.
Additional 911 information is available on the Account Portal for you to read and
reference. Please be safe and read all material related to this issue.
