Use of the FPL desktop application with home phone

Post by jaijai »

Hi,

My home internet is going to stop for a week. During this period, I can't use my IP phone at home.

I plan to use my neighbour's wireless connection to connect to the FPL desktop application. Is it possible to configure the FPL desktop application to receive my home phone calls or transfer all incoming calls of my home IP phone to the FPL desktop application?

Many thanks in advance,

Jai Jai

You will be able to use the account you have with the unlock key on the desktop softphone. Just log in to the software using the same details you use to log in online.

Depending on what equipment you have you might be able to put your router in bridge mode (I think that is what it is called) so it will wirelessly connect to your friends network, then you could plug your IP phone straight into the router. If you are lucky the routers will not cause you to have too much problems setting it up ports wise.
