You will need to establish a telephone account with your local service provider to
use your residential gateway for telephone service.
When you contact your service provider, you may be able to transfer your existing
telephone numbers. If not, then your cable telephony service provider will assign a
new telephone number to enable your voice service(s). Discuss these options with
your telephony service provider.
