   Well, here in the US, most of the VOIP services I am aware of either give   
   you a box or some sort of dongle.  Either includes a network cable   
   interface, which you run cable from to your router or hub, and a phone line   
   interface.   
      
   In my case, and also at my father's, we are able to then connect a phone   
   line to that interface, and plug that line into a jack.  You disconnect any   
   phone connection to the outside world (here, we open the phone box on the   
   outside of the house and disconnect the jack that leads to the outside   
   lines or, on older boxes, disconnect the wires with a screw driver) so that   
   you don't mess anything up.   
      
   Once you disconnect the outside lines, and connect the jack from the VOIP box   
   to the jack in the wall, you can use any phone jack in the house to plug in   
   a phone and have it run over the VOIP.   
      
   In Britain, there may be some regulation or access issues when it comes to   
   disconnecting from the outside line, so you best check into that before   
   trying anything.   
      
   Otherwise, you can connect the base unit for a portable phone directly to the   
   VOIP box/dongle.
