Is it possible to use my own VOIP adapter in the house with my Sonic Fiber phone service with its features, phone number, etc. (e.g., do not use the phone jack in the Fiber modem)?
My problem is that my house has no telephone jacks, and no telephone wiring to the garage where the Fiber modem is installed. I have no room in the garage to place a base station next to the Fiber modem. Even if I did, I don't think wireless phone service would reach the house.
So I'm thinking of:
Other options I've thought about, but am unsure if they will work:
Thank you!

So I'm thinking of:
- Plug telephone into separate VOIP adapter
- Plug VOIP adapter into switch
- Have telephone use the same internet connection as everything else through the Fiber modem, and not use the phone jack on the Fiber modem.
Other options I've thought about, but am unsure if they will work:
- I may be able to dedicate one of my preciously scarce CAT5 home run cables. Would that be a simple matter of getting inexpensive male/female RJ-45/RJ-11 adapters for the Fiber modem phone jack and the old-fashioned phone in the house?
- I have coax home run wiring that I'm not using. Is there a way to convert that into RJ-11 cables on both ends? I'm aware of MoCA for ethernet, which could then be down-converted to telephone, but I'm wondering if there is a cheaper option just for telephone (MoCA-to-Ethernet adapters are about $100/each, which for this purpose seems too expensive).
Thank you!
