1.
What is X-PRO?
X-PRO
is a software telephone. It has many of the features of
a traditional business
telephone, including call conferencing, multiple lines,
and call transfer.
Instead of making calls over the regular telephone
network, calls are made over computer
networks, either through your Internet Service
Provider’s connection or through your
local network. This is called Voice over Internet
Protocol – VoIP.
Calls made to another Internet telephone, anywhere in
the world, are generally free, while
calls made to a regular telephone are generally much
cheaper than traditional long
distance calls.
Xten Networks, Inc. does not provide telephone service;
only the software to use such
services. See the section below on where to find a
service provider. |
