How to Connect Your Phone to the Starlink Modem: Required Equipment

Using Your Phone with Starlink

Starlink does not include a traditional phone port. To use a phone service with Starlink, you will need a VoIP device such as an ATA adapter or IP phone.

Kiwi VoIP provides fully supported solutions that work seamlessly with Starlink.

Can I Plug My Phone Directly into the Starlink Modem?

No. Standard analogue phones cannot be plugged directly into the Starlink modem.

Starlink provides an internet connection only. A VoIP device is required to convert your internet connection into a phone service.

Required Equipment

Option 1: ATA Adapter (Recommended for cordless phones)

An ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter) allows you to use your existing cordless phone with Starlink.

Benefits:

• Keep your current cordless phone

• Simple plug-and-play setup

• Pre-configured by Kiwi VoIP

• Reliable and cost-effective

Kiwi VoIP ATA price: $109 ex GST (pre-configured)

Option 2: IP Phone

An IP phone connects directly to your Starlink router using a network cable.

Benefits:

• Professional business phone

• No adapter required

• Advanced features such as transfers and call history

Connection Method

Both ATA adapters and IP phones connect directly to your Starlink router using a standard network cable.

Starlink Gen 3 routers include two network ports, allowing easy connection of VoIP devices.
