Software
system requirements / Recommended hardware
This software only works on Windows PCs and will not work on Macintosh
computers. We recommend that you connect to the Internet with
at least a 56 kbps connection speed -- the higher bandwidth, the
better the sound quality on your calls. Recommended equipment
-- a good headset or a microphone and speakers, and the latest
version of your sound card driver. You can pick up a good headset
for under $20 from any office or electronic retailer.
I
tried to use it with my laptop Microphone and speakers and quality
was bad.
For best sound quality you REALLY need to use a quality headset
and microphone. We have tried many different combinations and
the best quality we have found is the Premium USB Headset and
Microphone manufactured by Logitech.

Can
I use the Broadband Phone service AdCalls with a NAT (Network
Address Translator) or a firewall?
A NAT is often used between private networks (like those used
at home or at work) and the Internet to map a private IP address
to a public IP address. Routers and software gateways (such as
Internet Connection Sharing in Windows) usually also function
as NATs. Firewalls, on the other hand, filter access to protected
networks.
AdCalls
works with most NATs and firewalls without any additional setup.
However, if your calls do not connect or you experience one-way
voice, you likely have a NAT/firewall problem. In that case, you
will need to ask your network administrator to open ports on the
firewall or set up port mappings on the NAT.
Can
I use the Broadband Phone service AdCalls with a proxy?
No. Internet phones use UDP to transport voice over the Internet.
Most proxies, including HTTP proxies, SOCKS 4 proxies, and some
SOCKS 5 proxies, do not support UDP. If you use such a proxy,
you will not be able to make Internet phone calls. SOCKS 5 proxy
support will be available in future versions of AdCalls.
What
to do if you get a message saying "invalid phone number"
You must enter the US country code (1) then area code followed
by the phone number. Example: 1 949 3053050
If you are still receiving a message like this when trying to
make a call, please send us an e-mail to: support@AdCalls.com
What
to do if the sound is choppy
There are many factors that are involved in a VoIP call. The most
important factors are a fast Internet connection and a good headset
or speakers/mic. The performance of the call may also be affected
by having many applications running on your PC which will use
up much of your RAM memory. Try shutting down some applications
during your call.
What
to do if you hear echo on the call
Believe it or not, most of the acoustic echo you may hear is because
you have your sound too high. What happens is your microphone
(or your headset mic) will pick up the sound coming through your
speakers (or your headset speakers) and will cause an acoustic
echo. If this is happening, the best thing to do is to simply
turn your speaker volume down. You do not need to turn your microphone
volume down.
