will be prompted for the Tpad number you are calling, enter you Tpad Account Number.
If it is configured properly, your phone line that you set up with Phonegnome should ring.
You can also use the SIPBroker
SIPBroker access numbers. However, when prompted for your account
number, enter your Voxalot number in the following format,
*010 xxxxxx (xxxxxx is your voxalot account number).
If it doesn't work at first, try it again a few hours later. The service is dependent
upon 3 independent carriers to work at the same time, so if there is any glitch with
any one of the three, the service might not work. As a result, you cannot rely upon
for the service to be UP 100% of the time. In my experience, it has been Up 60-75% of
the time. For $15 per year to enable people from around the world to call you for free,
this may not be so bad an inconvenience.
