You can read about the charges for Digital Voice Home here.

You can make unlimited local calls to any fixed, or mobile telephone line with StarHub and other operators such as SingTel and Mobile One. StarHub customers can also make special rate IDD calls.

Customers who wish to use SingTel's IDD service (001, 013 and 019) and Mobile One's IDD service (002, 021) must first register with them. Generally, most of the services that are available over your existing SingTel fixed line are also available over Digital Voice Home.

Yes, you will be able to call them.

Caller Number Display, Call Waiting, and Number Retention are some of the value-added services you can subscribe to for Digital Voice Home. Know more about these services and how to sign up for them here.

Golden and silver numbers are telephone numbers with special sequences like "8888" (golden) and "2188" (silver). The rights to these golden and silver numbers vest in StarHub at all times. You may select a golden or silver number for use during your subscription to our Digital Voice Home service by paying the extra charges prescribed by StarHub from time to time.

Please call our Customer Care at 1633 for the prevailing rates. Upon your termination of our Digital Voice Home service, such golden and silver numbers will automatically be returned to StarHub without any reimbursement of the extra charges that have been paid for usage of such numbers. If you wish to use the same golden or silver number for a service provided by another service provider, please make the relevant arrangement (e.g. in a number of portability arrangement) with them before you terminate your Digital Voice Home service.

The Digital Voice Home number will be with you as long as your Digital Voice Home service remains active. You don't have to change telephone numbers each time you relocate. Once the service is terminated, you will not be able to get back the same Digital Voice Home number.

You can request porting of your fixed-line number from another telco to StarHub at any of our shops. Please ensure your number is active during the port-in process.

An activation fee of $21.80 applies if you don’t have an existing Digital Voice Home service that will be replaced by the number you’re porting in. Porting may take 8 working days to complete.

No, Digital Voice Home is only applicable for residential users. Before you apply for Digital Voice Home, please check that the fixed-line phone number you wish to retain is not registered under a business service with your current service provider.

Yes. To retain your existing SingTel number, you can enjoy our FREE Number Retention Service.

Number Retention is a number portability service that allows you to retain your existing fixed line phone number when you switch from other operators to StarHub. You can enjoy the benefits and superior service of Digital Voice Home without giving up your existing fixed-line phone number.

After the service is activated, your telephone number (from the other operator) will be shown as your Digital Voice Home Caller ID and will be the number reflected in the bills.

One possible solution is to subscribe to SingTel's Telemail service which allows your callers to leave voice messages. You can customise your Telemail greeting to inform them of your new Digital Voice Home number. Please contact SingTel at 1609 to find out about the charges for Telemail. Please note that you would need to keep your SingTel line active for the duration you wish to have the Telemail service.

You should not experience any service disruption before the agreed service activation date/time. If you experience any disruption earlier than the activation date/time, please report the outage to your existing service provider as they are still in charge of your telephone service before its transfer to StarHub.

However, there will be a temporary service disruption on the agreed activation date/time during the line cutover.

Digital Voice Home is currently available to residential customers only.

Yes, most standard telephone sets, including cordless phones, should work with Digital Voice Home.

No, Digital Voice Home does not support pulse-dialling phones. Pulse-dialling is usually found in older phone models, whereas most modern phones operate on tone dialling. Please check that the phone you intend to use with Digital Voice Home supports tone dialling.

Most answering machines should work. However, some models may have compatibility issues as Digital Voice Home is operating over a newer technology platform. Please refer to the equipment vendor for more information.

Alternatively, you can subscribe to our Voicemail service. Please call our Customer Care at 1633 for more information.

Generally, you should be able to use Digital Voice Home for most analogue home PABX/keyphones. Your equipment vendor should be able to advise you on the compatibility of your system. We would be glad to provide the relevant information if your vendor has any queries.

Please note that certain features on your PABX/keyphone may not work. Again, your equipment vendor would be in the best position to advise you.

No, you would not be able to make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls if there is a power failure, unless you have power back-up devices like UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

Under normal circumstances, this should not happen. Our network is designed to handle voice and data traffic simultaneously.

If you are connected to our Home broadband service, faxing to Singapore numbers will be supported. We recommend that the number of pages be kept to below 20 per fax session.

If you are connected to another service providers’ broadband service, we do not guarantee that faxing can work. Like any other activities over the public Internet, faxing using Digital Voice Home is dependent on the network conditions. When congestion or network disruptions occur, users may encounter dropped transmission or degradation in fax quality. As such, we are unable to support faxing over Digital Voice Home when you are not connected using our Home broadband service. Likewise, we are also unable to guarantee faxing to international numbers due to overseas networks that are not within StarHub’s control.

As your home security system is an essential service, we strongly recommend that you consult your system vendor first before connecting your home security system to Digital Voice Home. We would be glad to provide any relevant information to your vendor if necessary. Please note that your home security system will not work in the event of a power failure as the VeONT does not have standby power back-up. In the unlikely event of a Digital Voice Home outage, your home security system will not work as well.

Currently, we do not support porting Digital Voice Home lines to Digital Voice Global and vice versa.

You need to call us at 1633 to terminate your Digital Voice Home with Number Retention service. Your ported-in number will be returned to your previous service provider once your Digital Voice Home service is terminated.

After the number has been returned to your previous service provider, it would be at their discretion to issue the same number to you if you subsequently apply for a fixed line service with them again. Please check with your previous service provider directly.

The process of number retention termination with your previous service provider will take at least 5 working days.

If you wish to retain your port-in number, please approach your previous service provider directly and they will advise you on the required procedure and make the necessary arrangement with StarHub for you. You do not need to call us in this case.

We will send you a bill at the end of each month. Certain initial one-time charges would be collected at the point of installation.
