Starting the SOFTPHONE for the First Time
The first time you start
the
SOFTPHONE, you will be asked to choose a User Name
and password. The User Name and password fields are required in order to use
the
SOFTPHONE.
You can choose any name but it must be at least 6 characters in
length. If the name is already in use by someone else you will have to try
another name.
Making your first
SOFTPHONE call
For a call to any regular phone, enter the
desired number in the textbox and click the dial-button. If you are
calling a land line in one of our free destinations, the call will
be placed at no costs at all. Please note that when you call a number (even if it's local) you should
always dial 00 + country code + area code
Improving Sound Quality
To get the best possible sound quality, we highly recommend you try the
following:
Use a headset with a built in microphone. Headsets are available for
purchase at most computer retailers and will dramatically improve sound
quality.
Note that voice quality is affected by
the equipment on both sides of the conversation. The best way to ensure high
quality sound is to have a headset on both ends of the conversation.
If you don't have a headset, you are still likely to improve sound quality if
you:
Use headphones instead of your computer speakers
Try moving the microphone closer or further away from your mouth
Use an external microphone (note that most laptops use low-quality
microphones)
