(There is a one-time Adaptor activation fee of $29.99 plus $10 shipping.) TalkParade™ is a new type of Phone Company that allows you to connect your telephone to your existing high-speed cable or DSL line. This technology, known as VoIP, provides you with a dial tone to make and receive phone calls worldwide just like traditional telephone service, but at a fraction of the cost. As a TalkParade customer, you can use your existing telephone number or we can assign you a new number with your choice of area code. Although some of our customers replace their current telephone service with one of our TalkParade Home plans, most are simply adding a 2nd line. When was the last time you or one of your family members wanted to make an important phone call only to find out that your one phone line was being used?
