☎️ Keep Your St. John’s Number

Already have a 709 or 879 number? We can transfer eligible St. John’s numbers to NetJOI. We’ll handle the transfer for you, so you can switch phone providers without changing the number friends, family, doctors, and other important contacts already know.

Have a 709 number? Keep it if you can. New 709 numbers are now very limited through our carrier, so customers requesting a brand-new number may receive an 879 number instead.

Keep the Internet You Already Have

If you’re happy with Bell Aliant, Eastlink, or another Internet provider, there’s no reason to change it just to get a different home phone service. NetJOI uses VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol to deliver your home phone service over your existing Internet connection rather than a traditional phone line. That means your Internet and phone services don’t have to come from the same company.

You can keep your current provider, use the home telephone you already have, and choose a NetJOI plan based on how you actually call.

A small ATA adapter connects your home telephone to your Internet router. Once everything is set up, you use your phone much like you do today, without needing NetJOI Internet or signing up for a larger telecom bundle.

★★★★★ What Our Customers Say

Use the Home Phone You Already Have

You don’t need to replace your existing telephone to use NetJOI Phone. A compatible ATA – Analog Telephone Adapter – connects your regular telephone to your Internet router and allows it to work with digital phone service. This gives you a simple digital home phone setup using the telephone and Internet connection you already have.

You can choose whichever equipment option makes the most sense for your home:

  • Rent a NetJOI ATA: $4/month
  • Purchase a 1-port HT801: $59.95 and receive your second month of phone service free
  • Purchase a 2-port HT802: $69.95 and receive your second month of phone service free
  • Bring Your Own ATA: use your own compatible adapter as long as it isn’t locked to another carrier

The HT801 supports one phone line. The HT802 has two phone ports and is useful if you need two separate lines or simply want more flexibility with your setup.

If you bring your own compatible ATA, we’ll provide the settings needed to connect it to NetJOI Phone.

Keep Your St. John’s Phone Number

Yes – St. John’s phone numbers can be transferred to NetJOI, and we already have customers in the area whose numbers have been moved successfully.

If you already have a 709 number, transferring it means you can switch providers without changing the number people already know. We handle the transfer request for you; just keep your existing phone service active until we confirm that the move is complete.

Newfoundland and Labrador also uses the 879 area code, which serves the same province-wide calling area.

Already Have a 709 Number? It’s Worth Keeping

New 709 numbers are now very limited through our carrier.

That means customers asking for a brand-new phone number may receive an 879 number instead. If you already have a longtime 709 number, keeping it when you switch can be especially valuable.

You won’t have to update friends, family, doctors, financial institutions, businesses, or anyone else who already has your number.

Want to Keep the Number but Not the Home Phone?

Sometimes the number matters more than the telephone itself.

If you have an eligible number you want to preserve but no longer need a separate home phone, Keep My Number lets you retain it for $9.95/month without using an ATA adapter.

Incoming calls can be forwarded to your mobile phone, sent to voicemail, or delivered as voicemail messages to your email.

It can be useful if you’re downsizing, travelling, moving, or simply want to get rid of a home phone you rarely use while keeping a familiar number.

For calls farther afield, NetJOI offers Global Calling. JOI International includes a $5 monthly Global Calling credit, while customers on JOI Basics or JOI Plus can add a $5, $10, or $20 monthly credit.

Those credits can be used toward calls to destinations around the world at our published per-minute rates.
