Install the standalone softphone

If you plan to use this service more than occasionally, then a standalone VoIP application is recommended to be installed.

We tested the service with various applications and, although most of them behave perfect with our service, we decided to suggest you just one of them to be installed.

The tutorial below is a step by step instruction which refer to the X-Lite application and the way it should be configured to work properly with this service.

Step 1 - Download X-Lite
X-Lite 3.0 for Windows [.exe]            
X-Lite v3.0 for MAC OS X [.dmg]        
X-Lite v2.0 for Linux [.tar.gz]            
Step 2 - Install X-Lite
Run the downloaded setup application and follow the normal next, next, next procedure. All defaults are ok.
Step 3 - Configure X-Lite
In order to complete the configuration process and start using the application, the following information is required:
  • SIP server: voip.zappmobile.ro ( the SIP server name)
  • Username: (your phone number received upon activation)
  • Password:  °°°° (the password chosen at registration time)
Click on the images below to enlarge them.

Click on the tray icon to popup the X-Lite application. The X-Lite icon resembles a green man. If it's not running yet, launch it as any other normal application.

Click on the down arrow at the top of the phone to activate the configuration menu. Alternately you can right-click anywhere on the phone body to activate it. Then select SIP Account Settings.. to start the configuration.

A dialog box like the one in the image appears. Click the Add.. button to create a new SIP account. Then fill the below information in the form shown in the next image.

  • Display Name - enter Zapp Global Free, or anything.
  • User Name - enter your phone number
  • Password - enter your chosen password
  • Authorization User Name - enter again your phone number
  • Domain - enter the name voip.zappmobile.ro

That's all. The other settings can (and must) remain as default, unless you know what you are doing. Click OK button to complete the configuration and then click Close button to close the previous dialog box.

Now you're ready to use the phone. Start dialing your friends' phone numbers and start talking for FREE!
