How to connect VOIP phone?

I moved into my rented property in Sept 2022. I continued using Plusnet from my previous address, except I was told that my new area was full fibre only so I wouldn't have a phoneline. Eventually, openreach came round and fitted everything and I was up and running.
I am now considering doing some extra work in telemedicine through a company. They would provide the equipment such as a VOIP phone. I know I would need a 3rd party VOIP provider such as Vonage. Is there anything else I would need to do? As I never had the landline connected I don't care about the number. Do I need to inform PlusNet?

@Lady_Thorin i would have thought that if the company are providing the voip phone, they would also be providing the voip account and the phone would be pre-configured with the details. I would expect that the phone would be configured to connect to the company pbx so that when you make calls , the company phone number is presented.
Is there anything else I would need to do? As I never had the landline connected I don't care about the number.
You would just need to connect the voip phone to your router, usually via an ethernet cable.
Do I need to inform PlusNet?
No, its nothing to do with them.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

There are many VOIP providers out there. If you're chosing one instead of the company providing an account have a look at

If the work involves multiple calls or they are time consuming you need to look carefully at the phone packages on offer.
