MAGICJACK TIPS: OPEN NETWORK PHONE CALLING USING X-LITE / EYEBEAM

Users of the magicJack can now place and receive calls using almost any phone provider in the world including Gizmo5 (News - Alert) recently acquired by Google. To top it off, magicJack users now also have a means of connecting directly to office PBX systems using the industry standard SIP communications protocol.

To take advantage of these new "open network" calling possibilities, magicJack users simply need to install the new SIP dialer software plugin "XlitejackPlugin". "XlitejackPlugin" allows magicJack and SIP calls to be placed concurrently from the same regular or cordless phone.

The SIP dialer software plugin supports the use of Counterpath Corporation's X-Lite SIP softphone dialer. Almost every phone provider in the world provides setup instructions and support for using the X-Lite SIP softphone dialer with their networks.

"XlitejackPlugin" converts an ordinary magicJack into a powerful magicJack + X-Lite/SIP dual mode calling product. To place SIP calls via an alternative phone provider, just dial # before the number you want to call. Regular magicJack calls are placed as normal. For incoming calls, just answer the phone when it rings.
