2.4 Setting up Voicemail
VoIP service providers may offer voicemail as a complement to their regular phone services. Users with access
to voicemail-enbaled accounts can set up certain voicemail features within the X-Lite softphone client (see
“Account Properties – Voicemail” on
page 45 ). In particular:
• To enable connecting to voicemail by clicking on the Call display, X-Lite users must access the
Voicemail tab of their SIP account’s properties dialog (see above) and then enter appropriate information
within the Number to dial for checking voicemail field.
• To enable sending incoming calls to voicemail by clicking on the Call display,
X-Lite users must complete the Number for sending calls to voicemail field under the Voicemail tab.
2.5 Setting up a Contacts List
Using a Contacts list is the most efficient way to place calls. Users can set up contacts in several ways:
• During a call, users can add a remote party to their Contacts list (see “Add to Contacts List” on page 11 ).
• Users can add entries to the Contacts list one by one (see “Adding a Contact” on page 17 ).
• Users can import a Contacts list from an existing file or from another application (see
“Importing Contacts” on page 19 ).
For general information about contacts (see “Contacts Tab” on page 16 ).
