How to set up a softphone account?

The softphone performance has a huge dependency on the network connection and the computer’s own performance. It is suggested that you connect your computer to a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi connection. A Wi-Fi connection could result in undermined call quality. You may experience call drops, dialing delays when your computer is connected through Wi-Fi. |
