Download the Windows-based Softphone by clicking here. You can also download the free X-Lite version.  When you see a dialogue box asking "Do you want to run or save this file", select Save, which will present you with a "Save as" dialogue box.

Notes

• Your Softphone will not work properly without a correctly installed corded headset.
• The Softphone uses your Windows PC's sound capability, which should be tested prior to using your Softphone.
• Some corded headsets may have a manual volume control and mute button in the cord; if this is the case, make sure that the volume level is set to maximum and the mute button is not pressed before using the headset.
