Call us for Free from
Anywhere
via VOIP Internet Phone
You can call us immediately through your PC over the Internet at no cost.
How does it work?
After pressing the Call Us! button, a small ActiveX application will
start to be downloaded and installed on your computer. This application helps
configure your PC communications device, and connects your computer to us over
the Internet via Voice over IP (VOIP) technology.
Follow the the on screen instructions or see the steps below;
To configure the communications settings for your PC, on the settings
introduction page - click "Next."
Select the type of communications device on your PC you are using to place
your call (this is important as it improves sound quality) - click "Next."
Test the sound volume by selecting "Start Tone" and if necessary adjust
the volume with the small slider on the volume bar - click "Next."
Adjust the volume of your voice by selecting "Record" and speak a few
words at a comfortable volume. Adjust the slider next to the meter so that the
sound of your voice is in the middle of the meter while speaking - click
"Next."
Note: you must have sufficient microphone volume to turn the indicator from
red to green.
To complete the download and initiate the call - click "Finish."
This will start the call to us. You will not need to repeat the process for
future calls.
The Internet phone is best used with a headset/microphone but many
computers today are delivered with built in microphone and speakers.
System requirements
MS Windows running Internet Explorer, versions 5.0 and later
(Netscape version to follow)
Full-duplex sound card
Microphone and speakers, handset, or headset
Broadband (DSL/cable/T1) Internet connection
If it doesn't work...
Most problems are due to the way the security
settings of your web browser is configured. Since ActiveX controls have a great
deal of power you should be careful before installing a control.
Things to Try
Try reloading this page and say yes to install
the control when prompted. If the application does not download, try turning
off your computer's pop-up blocker.
You might also need to change your Internet
Security settings to allow this ActiveX control to download and run.
You might consider adding the Beagle Software
web site(http://www.beaglesoft.com) to the list of trusted web sites within
Internet Explorer. This should allow the ActiveX control to load and run. For
more information about this page contact Beagle Software.
