  • It is cool!

    Can I call to regular phone lines or mobile phones ?

    Yes, but you need to add credit to your account. Calling rates are very low.

    Can I use the service while traveling ?

    Yes. use xten lite or your mobile SIP phone from any location.

    Can I use the service in any country ?

    Yes in any country.

    Do you provide technical support ?

    Yes we provide email technical support. Answer times are 1 business days, on average.

    What are the minimum system requirements for a softphone ?

    To run the xten or counterpath x-lite softphones, you need a computer with Processor: Pentium II 400 or faster Memory: 64MB RAM or better. In addition you can use a wide range of hardware VoIP SIP adaptors and phones.

    What type of internet connection do I need?

    Broadband is required for the FREE X-Lite client. For dial-up users, G.729 compression is required and is delivered through the commercial version of the Xten Softphone X-Pro. Or any other SIP phone that supports G729.

    Why use SIP ?

    SIP has many advantages over propietary solutions such as Skype and others. Many more phones support it, including GSM and WIFI phones. And you have the option of using the best compression codec available, which is G729.

    Compared to Skype, our prices are lower and we do not charge "call setup" or any other hidden fee.

    Do I need computer speakers and a microphone?

    If your PC has a sound card installed, then all you need are your computer speakers (internal or external) and a PC microphone (internal or external). However, a computer headset with microphone should be used and is strongly recommended to avoid echoing.

    What kind of headset should I use?

    You need a computer headset, not a telephone headset. A computer headset has two separate connectors - one for the microphone, and one for the speaker (some newer headsets connect via USB, which are very good). Also make sure that the headset has a microphone.

    Troubleshooting - My phone can not log in

    If the phone fails to login, or get one way audio, please take the time to double check your configuration as above.
    If everything appears to be correct, the problem may be your firewall
  • If you are running XP, try disabling the built in firewall.
  • If your router/firewall suports DMZ, put your hardware phone in the DMZ area
  • If you have an external firewall try opening SIP ports
    SIP signalling ports (UDP) = 5060 - 5061
    DNS port (UDP) = 53
    TFTP port (UDP) = 69
    RTP/RTCP ports (UDP) = 10000 - 30000

    Troubleshooting - Voice Quality

    If you experience low voice quality make sure:
  • Your SIP phone is configured to use codec G729 as priority one
  • Your local internet connection is not congested by a large file download. In that case you can improve your network with an intelligent switch such as the Encore 8 port with 1 VoIP Port NHG08. Or Linux LiveCD Router which also can prioritize UDP VoIP packets

    Troubleshooting - Firewall blocked ports

    We offer an optional Secure encryption OpenVPN access, available for any softphone on windows, mac, linux. Can also be used with hardware phones behind cisco and openwrt routers/gateways.

    In addition, connecting to the voip server using the VPN can improve the quality of your connection since most ISPs give priority to encrypted traffic.

    It can also solve ISP filtering and firewall or NAT traversal issues.

    DID number porting ?

    We do not provide DID service number porting. We assign new numbers for each DID we provision.

    Why invest in a Codec G729 ?

    Unfortunately all softphones that support the codec G729 are paid. This is because G729 is patented. But it is worth the price since you will minimize the traffic needed for voip, thus getting higher quality of service under more network conditions. Also support of G729 by fonosip.com is a benefit that free services such as skype or IM based networks can not afford to provide, since they can not afford to distribute free G729 softphones.
