How does InfoTalk work?
All InfoTalk appliances allow you use your normal telephone to make phone calls over the Internet and save money. InfoTalk can call any other InfoTalk user anywhere in the world for just the cost of your Internet service. Using InfoTalk's patent-pending SaveDial feature, no long distance charges apply whatsoever -- your InfoTalk contacts the other InfoTalk, initiates its connection to the Internet, and automatically completes the connection over the Internet.

Can I call a phone number that does not have InfoTalk and still save money?
All InfoTalk users can call any home, office, or mobile phone in over 200 countries whether or not that phone is equipped with InfoTalk. You must have an InfoTalk and an InnoSphere account. With the press of a button, you will see "GateDial:" on the InfoTalk screen. Dial the desired destination phone number without the international long distance access code you normally use, and remember to end with the # key: 

(country code) (area/city code) <phone number) (#)

InfoTalk will connect to the Internet and dial the specified phone number via InnoSphere. Within seconds, users will hear the usual ringing (ringback) tone and can begin conversing once the remote party answers.

How good is the voice quality? Is it like a regular phone?
InfoTalk uses digital speech compression to support voice communications over the Internet. The voice quality you experience is directly related to the instantaneous level of Internet traffic and the quality of the connections to the Internet that you and any InfoTalk user you call may have. The technology of InfoTalk is designed to provide high voice quality with minimum delay, but it may not sound as good as a regular phone. InfoTalk's Performance Tuning feature allows you to extend the delay you experience in order to improve voice quality during periods of heavy Internet traffic.

What do I need to use InfoTalk?
In addition to a standard analog telephone, you must have dial-up access to the Internet in
order to use InfoTalk. InfoTalk works with any Internet Service Provider that supports the
PPP (PAP-authentication) protocol, one of the most commonly used protocols for dial-up
connections to the Internet. Certain online services such as AOL and Delphi, however, do
not support PPP and will not work with InfoTalk. With an Internet account and InfoTalk, you
can call any other InfoTalk user. To call any phone in over 200 countries whether or not they
have InfoTalk, you must have an InnoSphere account.

How do I enter my Internet account information into InfoTalk?
You may enter the required information concerning your Internet Service Provider account
through your phone. Configuring InfoTalk is as easy as entering information into your mobile
phone.

Do I need a PC to use InfoTalk?
No, just connect InfoTalk between your phone and the wall jack. InfoTalk is a stand-alone
device with all the power and capability needed for Internet communication. If you own a
Pentium PC or better, please see our InfoAccel PCI VoIP card.

Can I use my InfoTalk in an office with a PBX console?
If you or the InfoTalk you are calling is connected to the telephone network through a PBX
and are unable to use SaveDial you can still use InfoTalk to make phone calls over the
Internet. Simply call the other InfoTalk user and establish a regular call -- after connecting,
either party can press the # key on their telephone keypad. Both InfoTalk devices will
disconnect the call and connect to their respective Internet Service Providers. InfoTalk will
then automatically re-establish connection between both parties over the Internet.

For the cost of Internet service for both parties and approximately one minute of long
distance charges to establish the connection, InfoTalk lets you enjoy your conversation over
the Internet for as long as you like. The process of making an InfoTalk-to-InfoTalk call is as
simple as making a normal call followed by the # key.
