This is a short tutorial for those who are interested in making free 1 min calls to
selected locations (including USA/Canada) from their PPCs to landline phones (VoIP).
[
Note that you CAN extend the services by paying, but in this tutorial we are concentrating on free
]
1. First of all, you have to have working internet connection on your PPC.
2. Download and install
SJphone (freeware) on your PPC (go through with the sound setup process).
Download links:
Current stable build
Preview build (including WM5)
3. Go to
voipcheap.com and
download their software.
[I'm not promoting voipcheap here, just using it as an
example for this tutorial. You can choose other service providers if you wish.]
4. Install it on your PC and complete the registration process.
5. Start SJphone on your PPC (again, make sure you have wifi on).
6. Go to Menu > Options > Profiles tab.
7. Tap "New" and give it a profile name (for example "voipcheap") and tap "ok".
8. Now go to the "Sip Proxy" tab and enter
connectionserver.voipcheap.co.uk in the "Proxy domain" box and tap "ok" (leave everything else unchanged).
9. You'll be prompted for your voipcheap "
Account" and "
Password". Enter your ID and password that you set up on your PC (tick "save service info") for voipcheap and tap "ok".
10. You should see your latest profile status is "in use".
11. Tap "ok" to return to main screen. You should see "SIP: registered as" info on the display. If you don't, then close SJphone (make sure you have wifi) and open it again.
12. Now the fun part! Dial any number (you can call yourself to test it) starting with the
country code (for Example starting with 1 for USA/Canada) and hit the dial button (top right of your SJphone screen). Is it ringing? :approve:
[Note that the free 1 min calls can be made to some
selected countries]
