by Christopher Kennedy, Demand Media

Comcast Digital Voice, also known as Xfinity Voice, is a digital landline telephone service provided by Comcast individually or as part of its Triple Play Services, which include Internet and cable service. Along with the standard features that you come to expect with telephone service, like Caller ID, Call Waiting, and 3-Way calling, Xfinity offers other features that are made possible with the digital phone line.

Unlimited Calling

With Xfinity Voice from Comcast, enjoy unlimited calling to anywhere in the United States, Puerto Rico, and even Canada. Unlimited calling is supplemented by Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, 3-Way calling and other common features. You no longer have to count minutes are worry about being charged extra for long-distance calling with family and friends across the nation and in other countries. If unlimited is too much money, downgrade to a smaller service plan and just pay for long-distance when you need it.

Caller ID

Xfinity Voice by Comcast offers what they describe as Universal Caller ID. When used in conjunction with Xfinity TV and Internet service, you can get alerted of incoming calls on both your television and home computer, complete with the name and number of the individual who is calling. Decide whether or not it's someone you want to talk to without stopping what your doing.

Advanced Voicemail

If you're away from home and need to check your answering service, gone are the days of calling home and entering codes to hear your messages played back to you over the phone. Access your Xfinity voice voicemail online with any web browser or by using the Comcast app available for your smartphone. Listen to your voicemails instantly, or choose the ones you want to hear and leave the others alone with visual voicemail.

International Calls

Xfinity Voice offers affordable International calling when you need it. Pay by the minute or add on an International call package, which gives you an allotted amount of minutes per month to call hundreds of countries at a low per-minute price.
