Making a VoIP call to another Global Village user or other
VoIP user
Pick up the telephone that you plugged into the V3. Dial
#
and
wait for the VoIP dial tone (which is different from a regular dial
tone), and then dial the
VoIP phone number
you want to call. (if
you set the V3 for VoIP Only Mode, just pick up the phone and
dial the VoIP phone number—you don’t need to dial
#
).
Note that this number is
not
the same as a phone number reached
through the traditional public phone network. You can access a
VoIP phone number directory for Global Village users and some
other VoIP users at
www.globalvillage.com
To receive incoming VoIP calls
Other Global Village users and many other VoIP users can call into
your Global Village VoIP telephone number. You will hear a
distinctive ring (not like your regular phone ring) to alert you that
you are receiving a VoIP call. Check at
www.globalvillage.com
for a list of other VoIP services that allow their users to make
VoIP calls to Global Village users.
To call 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.
To make a conventional phone call
(Will not work in VoIP
Only Mode)
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 through your regular telephone
service.
Note:
In the event of a power failure, the V3 routes all calls as
conventional calls.
