A classic home telephone — your phone, now carried on Axiom fiber

What changes

Same phone, new line

Switching to fiber phone shouldn’t mean learning anything new. Here’s what changes when you switch, and what stays the same.

What you keep

  • Your phone number. The one friends, family, and your doctor already have. In most cases we port it over.
  • Your phone. Plug a standard corded or cordless phone into the equipment we install. Pick it up and dial.
  • The simplicity. No apps to learn, no menus. It works the way a phone has always worked.

What you gain

  • A clearer line. Digital calls over fiber, without the hiss and crackle old copper lines get in wet weather.
  • One flat rate. $29.99 a month plus tax, added to your internet bill. No contract.
  • One provider, one bill. Internet and phone from the same local team in Machias, with one number to call.

How it works

You’ve already got the hard part

If you have Axiom fiber, adding a phone line is about as simple as it gets.

Call us

Add phone to your plan with one call. If you already have Axiom internet, it runs on the fiber you already have.

We port your number

We move your existing number over and enable phone service right on the fiber equipment we install. No new wiring through the house.

3

Plug in & dial

Plug a corded or cordless phone into the equipment we install and you’re done. Same dial tone, carried on fiber now.

Questions

What people ask before switching

Can I keep my current phone number?
In most cases, yes. We port your existing number over so the people who call you never know anything changed. We’ll confirm your number is portable when you sign up.
Will my phone work during a power outage?
Fiber phone runs on electricity and your internet equipment, so it needs both to be working. Unlike an old copper line, it won’t run on its own during an extended outage. A battery backup (UPS) on your equipment will keep it going for a while, and we’re glad to talk through options. We always recommend keeping a charged mobile phone as your storm backup, too.
Does 911 work?
Yes. 911 calling is supported and tied to your service address. As with any phone that runs on power and internet, it needs both up to work, which is one more reason to keep a charged mobile on hand during outages.
Can I keep using my own phones?
Yes. Your own corded or cordless phones plug right into the fiber equipment we install. Pick up the handset and you’ll hear a familiar dial tone. (You supply the phone itself; any standard home phone works.)
Do I need internet to have phone service?
Yes. Our phone service runs on the same Axiom fiber as your internet, so it comes with an internet plan rather than on its own. You get one connection, one local provider and one bill.
How much does it cost, and is there a contract?
Home phone is $29.99 a month plus tax, added to your internet bill. It’s the same price everywhere it’s offered (it isn’t available in all areas yet), with no setup fees and no contract. It includes unlimited calling across 48 states, Canada, and Mexico, plus voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, and 911 service. Call 207-255-0679 to add it to your plan.

Bring your phone over to fiber

Keep your number and let a local Maine team take it from here. Adding a line takes one phone call.
