Tips for Making VoIP Calls

Distinctive Ring and Dial Tone: 

The X5v’s ring and dial tone

sound different from your normal phone. This means that you can

easily tell by the ring that you are receiving a VoIP call. Perhaps

more important, when you dial

 to make a VoIP call, you will

hear a different dial tone than you hear on the public phone

network, so that you can be sure you are making a VoIP call.

Speed dialing:

 You may program your phone to speed-dial VoIP

numbers. Just be sure to remember to start the VoIP numbers with

Redial:

 You may redial a VoIP number just as you would redial

any other number, using a redial feature on your handset.

Hook Flash:

a VoIP call, you will hear a call waiting tone. Momentarily press the

hook button on your phone to talk to the second caller, and press

If you want to make only VoIP calls from the

phone plugged into the X5v, you must switch the X5v to VoIP-

only mode. On the X5v’s 

VoIP

 page, check the 

VoIP Only 

box.

All calls you dial from the phone attached to the X5v will be VoIP

calls, so you do not need to dial

 first.
