Where do I save, and what are the main EUROTEL advantages?

Firstly you’ll save considerably on your monthly rental charge. Also you’ll be saving considerably per call, be it to cellphones or to fixed lines, locally or internationally. And finally you’ll have maximum flexibility in terms of where and how you want to use your new service, what line number you choose, and whether you want your call partner to know your whereabouts or not. EUROTEL integrates all advantages of modern day telecommunication into one service, making it today’s telecommunication as you’d expect it!

Yes, that is definitely possible, but take note of the FAQ below in terms of DSL connections. Your existing phone is connected via an adapter to your Internet router, and off you go!

Check with us whether you qualify for a price reduction or even a free adapter for this option!

A cabled phone device such as the old home phone (via a cabled adpater) or a fixed VoIP phone has the advantage that weaknesses in the wifi signal at home become irrelevant.

Plus you’ll be able to enjoy maximum flexibility with your smartphone – use it anywhere you are, also via 3G/4G/LTE etc.
