Calling From Jamaica

<< < (3/3)

Waterstone:
The OBi soft phone on my cell phone works great.... thank you... I can call the cell phone soft phone by using speed dial 1 from home and can call home from the softphone application on the cell phone... wonder if it will work from Jamaica... I will try on the wifi from the room and worse comes to worse... back to the old plan of renting a local cell for a week... love to try new things however.. if this works, it will be great...
Thank you all for your input...

Depending on how access to the Wi-Fi is configured, you may need to open a browser on your phone and try to access a web page (any web page).  If a different page pops up asking you to supply credentials and login then the softphone app will not work until you do.  You need to use a browser on the phone;  logging in via a laptop will probably not enable internet access on the phone.

drgoff, I think you are right.. I remember, its a Sandals and they make you log in to their site first and accept the terms and all that stuff.. then you can go all around.. If I remember, I could not get my mail on my phone until I did that as well. 
Once that is done..  the I will use the Softphone... you think they may block the ports for the voice... does this application use a specific port? 
Thanks again

I don't know and won't guess about port blocking.

VoIP applications often use port 5060 (or others between say 5060 and 5080) for SIP 'signalling'.  The audio streams are usually on very different port numbers which are not as "standardised" as the signalling.
