Shaw's home phone service operates on an advanced, independent telephone network that provides security, reliability and quality service, backed by Shaw's 24/7/365 customer care and no-charge service calls.
Shaw's home phone service signals travel along our secure, managed network straight to the public phone system. By comparison, Internet-based, or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), calls through Internet connections can result in poor sound quality, dropped calls and even complete service outages.
With a four-hour battery backup, Shaw's home phone service continues to work even during power outages. You also get Enhanced 911, which displays your name and address directly to emergency operators in your local municipal emergency response dispatch centre. Plus, it works with your home-security system.
Every Shaw home phone plan comes with calling features, options on pay-per-minute long distance vs. flat rates and more – making it the most competitive service available.
There's no need for a computer or Internet connection. Just call us, and Shaw will even wrap things up with your current phone company.
When you switch to Shaw's home phone service, you can keep your current phones along with your number, or you can get a new phone number at no extra cost.
