In this article I will describe to you how you can get your own free U.
S. phone number, and call free to landlines all over the world and to
cell phones in the United States and some other countries.
PS.
In this guide, I am recommending VoipBuster as your IP-telephone
provider. If you are using another IP-telephone provider, go straight
ahead to Step 2. VoipBuster is a completly free.
Step 1: Install the application to administrate your new phone number
Go
to www. voipbuster. com, choose the tab "Download" in the top menu.
Press the "Download the VoIPBuster" button. Download and install the
program.
Complete the install and open the application. Now you
have to create a new account, and log on. After you've completed this
you are now ready to make calls free all over the world.
Step 2: Get your own free phone number
Congratulations,
you are now ready to get your own phone number. First of all go to the
following internet site: hxxp: phone. ipkall. com/ipphone/
In
the option "Choose your account type", choose SIP. You can choose
between 4 area codes, these are all area codes for Washington state.
The SIP Phone number is your username in VoipBuster. In the SIP
proxy-option, enter the following: sip. voipbuster. com:5060
Enter
your e-mail adress (Note: This must be valid to recieve your new
number). Choose a password to log in to the IPKall account site.
Choose a number of seconds for your phone number to ring before it hangs
up. Now all you have to do is type in the word(s) you see in the image
and press "Submit". If you have done this correctly, you will get a
message that your phone number will be assigned as soon as the
application has been processed. This should normally take from 1-2
hours.
As soon as you've recieved the confirmation e-mail, you
are ready to use your new phone number. Try to call it from your
house/cell phone. If you have done things correctly, the VoipBuster
should notify you of an incoming call. Note that it may take as much as
one hour from the confirmation e-mail has been recieved untill your the
phone is working properly.
Step 3: Called-ID
You now
have your own phone line to recieve incoming calls. You can use the
VoipBuster for outcoming call, but if you want your number to show as
the caller-ID you have to modify the settings in the VoipBuster
program. Choose the Tools tab in the menu and go to "Options". On the
left menu, there should be a "Caller-ID" tab. Now choose "Edit my
VoipBuster profile". In the Phone Numbers-section add your IPKall-phone
number as the home number.
Now you will see a "Verify"-button
next to where it says the number you entered. Press this, and hit
Next. Make sure you remember the number, and wait for the call. This
might take as much as 30 seconds. When it rings, press answer, then
Cancel, and OK.
When you are asked to enter the verification
code, press the 4-digit code. You should soon hear a voice saying that
your number has been verified. This process may be a little tricky, so
if it dosen't work the first time, try again. You might also want to
check out the volume settings if it fails several times.
Congratulations! You now have your very own, free, phone line!
