Do you need a landline for NBN?

I’ve been using a traditional landline for years, but I’ve heard that with the NBN rollout, things might change. I’m a bit confused about the transition. If I switch to an NBN plan, will I still be able to use my old landline phone? And if not, are there any alternatives available that would allow me to make calls like I used to?

The NBN (National Broadband Network) is designed to replace the traditional copper phone lines in Australia. This means that once the NBN is available in your area and you choose to switch to an NBN plan, your old landline will be disconnected. However, you don’t necessarily need a traditional landline to use the NBN

Many NBN plans come with a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service, which allows you to make phone calls over the internet. If you still want to keep your old phone number, many providers offer the option to port your existing number to their VoIP service. It’s essential to discuss your needs with your chosen ISP to ensure you get the right plan and services for your requirements.

I hope this provides clarity on your questions. If you have any more queries or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
