| Yes you can. 
      With the use of an adapter you can use your old 
      phone, even your wireless set. 
      This is what an adapter can look like (pictures

      Here's some gumph on how it works; 
      "Get all the advantages of the astonishing new 
      VoIP Internet calling technology with the convenience and mobility of a 
      cordless phone. The Viper Networks IP Phone Adapter Includes our vPhone 
      Dialer software which enables you to place calls from your PC to regular 
      landline phone calls, or PC to PC calls. Simply plug the IP Phone Adapter 
      into your computer with the supplied USB cable on one side, and any 
      regular telephone into the other.  
      Here's How VoIP Works 
      Your VoIP provider converts your phone calls into digital data that zips 
      through your high-speed Internet connection. In most cases, you simply 
      plug your current telephone into a small box that your VoIP provider gives 
      you. The box, in turn, connects to your broadband. As you did with your 
      regular telephone service, you pick up the phone, get a dial tone, and 
      press numbers on the keypad to call the person you want to talk with."
