Making Calls With a SIP VoIP Device Or Softphone

Making Calls with a SIP VoIP device

You can also place outgoing calls with MyDivert, but you will need a MyDivert username and password in order to call via our network. So first sign up for your account. Calls can be made from a softphone on your computer, or from a normal telephone with an adaptor. The SIP settings you will require can be accessed from your user account area.

Receiving Calls on your SIP Phone or PC
If you wish to receive your incoming phone calls on your softphone or SIP device directly you can simply disable the call forwarding feature in your user account. Calls placed to your incoming VoIP number will then ring to your SIP phone or PC without diversion.

Using a Softphone on your PC

A softphone is a small application that works with VoIP technology. It enables you to make regular phone calls from your computer. The interface normally looks and behaves like a traditional phone's dialling pad. A softphone can be used with your MyDivert account in a similar way to skype, except our call charges are lower. Many softphone applications are available as free downloads.

Examples include: X-lite, ExpreeTalk, and SJ Softphone

Using a Telephone Adaptor

An analogue terminal adaptor (ATA) is a piece of equipment which allows you to use a normal telephone with a VoIP service. The device acts as a bridge between your existing phone and your broadband router/modem. This allows you to make calls as you would on a normal phone line, using a standard telephone plugged into a small adaptor. Examples include: Linksys PAP2

Using Custom SIP/IAX Settings for you Incoming Phone Numbers

The MyDivert.com user account area also allows you to direct purchased DID numbers to any sip provider of your choice. Simply choose the 'custom sip' or 'custom iax' option from the phone number management area. Please check with your sip providor that incoming SIP calls are allowed. Please contact us if you require our IP addresses to authenticate channels.
