4 voice port Voip adapter?

I have 4 traditional phone lines currently. I'm going to make the switch to voip in the next week or so. Comcast is my ISP but I can't use Comcast Digital Voice because they only allow up to 2 phone lines per household. Therefore, I was thinking of utilizing Vonage for my voip service. Is there a 4 port voip adapter on the marketplace that supports vonage or would I need to get two 2-port adapters like two PAP2T's?

Welcome to Voipuser forums.

Grandstream sell a variety of multiport adapters including the 4 port FXS variety. It may be cheaper to use 2 PAP2Ts.

AFAIK, Vonage only supports BYOD. I thought Comcast has a commercial package that can handle more than two digital lines.

You may end up paying more for a 4-port ATA device than to get two 2-port ATA devices.

I did see the Grandstream GXW4004 which has 4 PXS ports and is only around $115. I thought that one might work. I'm not familiar with 'BYOD' so you post implies you do not think it is compatible which worries me a bit. A quick google shows it stands for 'bring your own device'. I'll have to read up on it. Comcast is new in my area and didn't even offer Digital Voice until just recently. Maybe the CSR was misinformed but she told me I had no options beyond two phone numbers. Thanks for the help guys. As you can tell, I'm new to this stuff.

Depending on where you shop, that will be more or less expensive than two units of an ATA device with two FXS ports. If you are familiar with Asterisk PBX system and/or FreeSwitch, then you could have as many VoIP lines as you wish, yet be able to terminate on as little as one and/or as many FXS ports as you wish. For instance, my Asterisk PBX system currently run on a LaFonera WiFi router is configured with more than 4 VoIP lines. For its extensions, I have configured a Linksys PAP2v1 + a Uniden UIP1869V Vonage Compatible 5.8GHz Digital VoIP Telephone to place/receive calls. This approach is easily expandable.

OK, thanks for the help. I will probably just go with the two adapters then. I have a 16 port switch in my home network in a central location in my basement where all the ethernet lines, rg6, etc from every room are home runned to. Not a big deal if I have two adapters hanging off of it rather than one. Thanks for helping me walk through it.

I cant help thinking that there is some confusion and misunderstanding creeping into this thread.

was the intention to replace those with a Voip system that would enable you to maintain four different incoming numbers?

If so then you do not need a four way adaptor you only need an IP Phone for example like the Sipura 841 or better (a more complete list of hardware here http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP ... tent=VOIPP ).

That will give you four or even six different lines and if you want to experiment then each could even be with a different provider. The whole point of Voip is not to be tied to any one provider and to be able to shop around for the best deal so don't sign up with anyone who wants to tie you to a restrictive contract.
