Currently signed up with Voyager Internet, received the Juniper SRX110 modem.
Now i need to get a phone, but was told i need an ATA ( Analog telephone adapter ) device?

Do i need an ATA device if i get a Cisco CP-7965G IP Phone?

An ata is an alternative to an ip phone. It plugs into your router and connects to the isp's voice platform, to register you as available for pstn calls.

At your end you get presented with an old rj-11 style connection to plug your existing analogue phones into.

Alternatively, you can plug a Cisco phone into your router and have that act as your phone.

In both cases, the service provider needs to confirm with you they will support the widget and can configure it for you over your connection. It's a pain the backend to do self support but it can be done.

Afraid it's a return call to voyager to see what they will support for you.....
