Enter the following information:

Title:  anything you like, perhaps your phone number.
Username:  [username]
Password: [your password]
Domain:  [yourdomain.com]

Please keep in mind that you do not type “[“ or “]” , these symbols are used to remind you of user input.

For example use something like:

Username:  mary
Password: *****
Domain:  company.vofm.us

In above example, customer was assigned a user name as This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Now this domain name has three parts to it, but two parts are entirely sufficient if your domain is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for example you would use cnn.com for the domain part.

To advance to the next screen select  Advanced Settings.

Select Done from upper right corner.

Now you can make a call.

Make sure you limit your calling activity to wifi. We do not recommend using the 3G network for calls, as it is fairly unreliable and spotty.

If you have a good wifi network and it is tuned for Quality of Service then calls should be reasonably good.
