PINSKIP FAQ

Q. What is VOIP?
A. VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol." It uses the Internet and data networks to send and receive calls and faxes. Since it uses your existing high-speed Internet connection, it offers great savings on long distance and international calls compared to traditional phone service.

Q.What is Litespan’s SipVoice?
A. It is a broadband local and long distance calling service powered by Litespan, using the latest technology to combine voice and internet networks to provide high quality, reliable and cost-effective inbound and outbound long distance service.

Q. Can I use my regular or cordless phone set with the service?
A. Yes, you can use any traditional phone that can be connected to a telephone adapter. You can purchase a telephone adapter from Litespan or if you already have one, you can use your own telephone adapter.

Q. Can I use my own IP phone with Litespan’s SipVoice?
A. Most IP phones will work with Litespan’s SipVoice. Litespan can provide you with the necessary data required to configure your IP phone. However Litespan recommends using IP phones from the list of approved IP phones manufacturers.

Q.How does Free In-Network Calling work?
A. Every Litespan customer can call every other Litespan customer free of charge. So if you are in NJ and your called party is in Peru and you both are Litespan’s customers, you can call each other free of charge.

Q. Can I use SipPhone with a NAT (Network Address Translator) or a firewall?
A. SipPhone works with most NATs and firewalls without any additional setup. However, if your calls do not connect or you experience one-way voice, you likely have a NAT/firewall problem. In that case, you will need to ask your network administrator to open ports on the firewall or set up port mappings on the NAT.
