ADSL X5v Quick Start
To let you try out the service, we’ve included 10 minutes of free
calling to anywhere in the USA, UK, and more than a dozen other
countries.
From the web site, you can also review and change your Global
Village account, view logs of incoming and outgoing calls, access
your phone directory, and take advantage of a number of other
features including call conferencing, call forwarding, call blocking,
and voice mail.
Using the Global Village Service
X5v users can use phones plugged into the X5v to:
1)
Make or receive a VoIP call.
Your ADSL phone line will
remain open for calls, so using VoIP gives you many of the
benefits of having a second phone line.
2)
Make or receive a “conventional” call.
Making a VoIP call to another Global Village user or other
VoIP user:
Pick up the telephone that you plugged into the X5v.
Dial
#
and wait for the dial tone, and then dial the
VoIP phone
number
you want to call. Note that this number is
not
the same as
a phone number reached through the traditional public phone
network. There is a directory of VoIP phone numbers on
www.globalvillage.com
Receiving incoming VoIP calls:
Other Global Village users and
many other VoIP users can call into your Global Village number.
You will hear a distinctive ring to alert you that you are receiving a
VoIP call. Check at
www.globalvillage.com
for the latest
information on other VoIP services that can connect to Global
Village.
Communicating with people who don’t have VoIP:
You can
use VoIP to call any phone that can be called through the
traditional phone network by subscribing to the Global Village
service. See the Global Village web site for dialing plans and rates.
Making a conventional phone call:
Pick up the telephone and
dial as you normally would. As long as you don’t dial
#
to indicate
that you are dialing a VoIP call, your calls will be routed and billed
as if you didn’t have VoIP, through your regular telephone service.
