Perhaps the most daunting and scariest task of switching to VOIP is setting up your smartphone or device, yet it is definitely a worthwhile effort. ![]() In terms of actual device or VoIP client, there are roughly 3 ways to place calls over VoIP: Softphones (on computers or smartphones), Devices ATA (for regular, old-style "grandma" phones) and PBXs (for business systems). Lately, we find that most of our clients prefer to use their smartphones with a softphone. If you wish, you can also purchase an ATA from us and try it for 1 month, as stated in our Terms of Service. GeneralWhichever way of using our services you choose, you will need 3 discrete pieces of information: YourUserID, YourPassword and YourDomain. We email them to you in the Welcome Email, and you may also obtain them all by logging in to your account at http://login.ezvoip.co and looking under "My Services".The domain/proxy (YourDomain) is listed on the same page next to Did Associated (phone number) in square brackets. For example, if you see [Toronto] YourDomain is toronto.ezvoip.co ; if you see [Montreal], YourDomain is montreal.ezvoip.co Note that if you have not subscribed to a plan or ordered a phone number, you might not have a recommended server in your account page. In that case, it is a good idea to choose either default.ezvoip.co as your server or simply the server geographically closest to your location. See our list of servers and a way to choose the best server. Some softphones may also have a default server, but that may not necessarily the one we recommend or the best for your location or for receiving incoming phone calls. TestingOnce your setup is complete, you may use the following special phone numbers for testing:
