Desktop Call

DesktopCall is a free downloadable software program based on the Company's patented phone-to-phone long distance dialing technology. Unlike the WebCall product, a web-browser is not required to launch international dialing or domestic long distance dialing calls. Only a PC running the application on the desktop and a telephone is required. As with WebCall, this is not a VoIP service, you talk over your telephone, not your PC. Therefore, no special hardware is required. Dial around international phone calling, outbound conference calls, and all other types of BestNet's long distance phone carrier services are ultra-fast, since you do not have to wait for web pages to load. As a result, DesktopCall is ideal for Users with slow Internet connections. LAN users with either Internet or firewall restrictions may use DesktopCall which can be configured for use with a proxy server.

The built-in directory is now integrated with Microsoft Outlook,T allowing you to import phone numbers stored in Contacts.** As an added convenience, you can actually dial a number directly from OutlookT. The DesktopCall software automatically configures phone numbers for correct long distance dialing format, and shows labels for multiple phone-numbers within a single contact. In addition, directories that reside within DesktopCall can be easily synchronized with the WebCall product. As an added convenience, you can now look-up international and domestic long distance rates and plans, view billing, payment and call detail information without having to use a web-browser.

** Note: Version 3.0 does not support name and number import features for MS Outlook setup as Workgroups.
