Before you can use the Internet (VoIP) to phone any other numbers on the Internet,
the fixed line network or the mobile phone network, you need the services of a VoIP
provider who supports the VoIP SIP standard.
Precondition: You have registered with such a VoIP provider (e.g. via your PC) and
set up at least one VoIP account.
To be able to use VoIP, you now need to enter the access data for your VoIP account.
You will receive all the necessary data from your VoIP provider. This will include:
Either:
u
Your user name (if requested by the VoIP provider), this is the user identification
