In this section, you will enter each number that you would like your
Find Me Follow Me feature to use when anyone calls your phone
number. If you would like the service to also call your phone when this
service is activated, then in this section you should choose “My Phone”
under “Destination to ring” (if you do not choose this, the call will
automatically forward to the first number in your Find Me Follow Me
list without first ringing your phone). Select the number of seconds
you would like the call to ring at that phone number. Indicate whether
or not you would like the call be able to be forwarded from this
number or not. (This would only occur if your Call Forwarding feature
was activated.) Click OK.

Emergency 911 Information
At PowerNet Global®, we provide a safe and reliable means of communication in
times of emergency.
Most PowerNet Global® customers have access to either Enhanced 911 (E911) or
Basic 911 service. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and
registered address are simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to
your location. Emergency operators have access to the information they need in
order to send help and call you back if necessary.
With Basic 911 service, the local emergency operator answering your call will not
have your callback number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give
them this information. As additional local emergency centers become capable of
receiving our customers’ information, PowerNet Global® will automatically upgrade
customers with Basic 911 to E911 service.
If you do not have access to Basic 911 or E911, your 911 call will be sent to the
PowerNet Global® national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency
call center will ask for the name, telephone number, and location of the customer
calling 911, and then contact the local emergency center in order to send help.
Please note that if you move your device to another location, you must update your
new location. It’s easy! Simply call us toll free at 1-877-599-3087. If you do not
register your new location, any 911 call you make may be sent to an emergency
center near your old location.
Remember that our 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a broadband
or power outage, or if your broadband, ISP or PowerNet Global® phone service is
terminated.

Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQs
Q: What do I need to get Digital Phone @ Home service?
A: In order to get Digital Phone @ Home service, you need:
; A broadband internet connection
; A PowerNet Global® Phone Adapter (which we will send you)
; A touchtone phone
Q: How does Digital Phone service work?
A: It works just like regular phone service, except it uses the internet to
connect your calls instead of physical phone lines.
Q: What is a phone adapter?
A: It is a small piece of equipment which allows you to plug your phone into
the internet.
Q: Will my Digital Phone @ Home service work through the phone jacks in
my house?
A: No. Since Digital Phone service uses the internet to complete calls, you
don’t need to use the existing phone lines in your house. Instead, you can
just plug your phone directly into the Phone Adapter.
Q: Is Digital Phone @ Home difficult to install?
A: No, it’s very easy! Simply follow the instructions which we included with
your Phone Adapter.
Q: What do I do if I need help with installing my Digital Phone @ Home?
A: You can call us at 1-866-813-1653 and we will walk you through the
installation.
Q: Can I keep my existing number?
A: Yes, you can. We may need a copy of your current phone bill to help with
the transfer.
Q: How long will it take to transfer my phone number?
A: Some transfers can be as quick as a few days, while others can take up to
4 business days. We will do our best to transfer your number as quickly as
possible. We will send out your Phone Adapter before the transfer is
complete, so it’s possible that you make outgoing calls while your incoming
calls are still ringing to your old service.
Updated on 8/27/2010 2:10 PM
58
You will be able to make outgoing calls on your Digital Phone service right
away. You will know when the transfer is complete because your incoming
calls will begin ringing to your new Digital Phone @ Home service. You can
also call us at 1-877-599-3087 to check on the status of your phone
number transfer.
Q: Should I call my current local phone company to cancel my service?
A: No, do not call them right away. If you cancel your old service too soon
you could be without any phone service, and you could lose your phone
number. You should wait until you can both make outgoing calls and receive
incoming calls on your Digital Phone @ Home service to cancel your old
service.
Q: Can I use my current telephone with Digital Phone @ Home?
A: You can use any touchtone phone with Digital Phone @ Home.
Q: What should I do if I move?
A: It is important to keep your address information updated with PowerNet
Global® because we rely on that information to decide where to send your
emergency calls. If we have the wrong address on file we could send an
emergency call to the wrong response center, which could delay someone
responding to you.
If you move, call us right away at 1-877-599-3087 to update your address.
It’s important to us that you are safe if an emergency should happen.
Features FAQs
Q: What is my Call Services PIN?
A: When you are configuring features using your telephone, some features
will require you to enter a PIN before making the changes you are requesting.
We set your PIN to the last 4 digits of your phone number, but you should
change it when you start using your service to ensure your privacy.
You can change your PIN at any time by dialing *319 from your telephone, or
by going online to your Customer Portal at http://portal.pngcom.com.
Billing FAQs
Q: How will I receive my bill?
A: You can view and pay your bill at any time by going online to your
Customer Portal at http://portal.pngcom.com. It’s free and very convenient.
We will also send you an email from [email protected] each time a
Updated on 8/27/2010 2:10 PM
59
new bill is available. To ensure that these emails don’t go to your spam
folder, add this address to your address book.
You can also request to receive a paper bill in addition to your eBill when you
sign up for service.
Q: What is the Compliance Cost Recovery Fee?
A: The Compliance Cost Recovery Fee is a $1.99 monthly fee in addition to
your Digital Phone package charge. It is designed to help us recover costs
associated with complying with certain federal and state regulations. The
Compliance Cost Recovery Fee is subject to change and is not a government
mandated tax or surcharge.
Q: Which international countries are included in the Digital Phone @ Home
Unlimited Plus plan?
A: A list of the included countries is on the Customer Portal at
http://portal.pngcom.com. You can also call us at 1-877-599-3087 to find
out if the country you call is included in the list. Because International calling
is ever changing, the list is subject to change without notice. Please check
the website or call us to confirm.
Q: Does the unlimited international calling in the Digital Phone @ Home
Unlimited Plus plan include calling to international mobile phones or
international “special” numbers?
A: Probably not. Some international mobile or international special numbers
in some countries may be included. Check the list of included destinations
before making any calls.
We still offer great rates to countries that aren’t included in the unlimited
package! Please call us at 1-877-599-3087 to find out the international
rates for countries not included in the plan.
Q: Why is my first bill more than I expected?
A: Just like other phone companies, we bill you in advance for the phone
service. Your first bill will include a partial month’s charge from the date of
activation through the end of the billing cycle, and the next full month in
advance. If you were to cancel for any reason, we will refund any payments
for service after the cancellation date.
We also charge a $29.95 Activation fee on your first bill. It allows you to
avoid signing a contract, which other Digital Phone providers require!

Service FAQs
Q: Can I use Digital Phone @ Home service with my home alarm system?
A: We don’t recommend it. Digital Phone service will not work if your internet
is not working or if your electrical power is out. If you were to have a break-in
during an internet or power outage, your alarm system would not be able to
alert your alarm company. It’s best to keep your alarm system on a regular
telephone line, or you can contact your alarm company about possible cellular
options.
Q: My phone isn’t working. What should I do?
A: Follow these steps:
1) Check your electrical power. If your power is out, then your Digital
Phone service will not work.
2) Check your internet service. If you can’t get online on your
computer, then your internet service is probably down. Your Digital
Phone service will not work if your internet service is down.
3) Check your Phone Adapter. Make sure that the Power light is on.
4) If all three of the above checks turn out OK, then call our Trouble
Reporting line at 1-866-813-1653 and we will help you to get your
service back up and running as quickly as possible.
Q: Will my Digital Phone @ Home service work for emergency calls?
A: Yes, your Digital Phone @ Home service will work for emergency calls.
Digital Phone @ Home uses Enhanced 911 service (or E-911) which not only
sends your call to an emergency response center, but also sends your
telephone number and address so that the emergency personnel will know
where and how to reach you.
As with any Digital Phone service, you will not be able to make any
calls, including 911 calls, if you have a power outage and/or a broadband
outage. Also, to ensure that your 911 calls are routed to the correct response
center, your service address (the location where you’re using the digital
phone) must be accurate and up to date at all times.
If you move, call us right away at 1-877-599-3087 to update your address.
It’s important to us that you are safe if an emergency should happen.
