VoIP SoftPhone Setup

This page provides typical setup for various SIP-compatible Softphones. If you have a different setup, you may need to consult with your hardware supplier or manufacturer for further help.

In each example, we cover only the settings specifically relevant for DrayTEL use. There are many other aspects of your softphone's setup which you might want to alter to personal preference.

If you have different VoIP software and would like to see the setup here, please ask for assistance and we can work together to configure your device, and get screenshots here for others.

Next, sign into Windows Messenger, using the account details you set up :

To then make a call to a Vigor VOIP router user, you just select 'Start a Voice conversation' from the Actions menu :
