Hi,

Does anyone know what software I can get to use iBurst iCall in a similar manner to Skype (Voice calls)?
Purchased a voucher but I'm clueless from here on in...

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ronald,

I'm really not looking to purchase any additional Hardware atm.
Just looking for a decent software client that will do the job under Win 7 x64.

PS - I have both desktop & usb modems available to me - but primarily running off the desktop via WLAN router.

No downloads on the iBurst website?

We don't yet have an OEM 64 bit softphone (only 32 bit) We are waiting for an update from our vendor.

I've downloaded and installed it. Any ideas on how to configure it?

Sorry, don't have a Windows box handy, but I'll try and set it up later if nobody else replies.

Software is good for experimentation but the best solution is the following ATA: http://www.miro.co.za/detail.aspx?pid=442&p=3&sp=&spp=

I have a Grandstream HT-502 and it works well. I even have my burglar alarm linked to it (unintentionally tested it this morning opening a window).

There used to be, but I can't find them on the new site.

The x32 version may possibly to the trick thanks Ronald. (I have plenty of x32 apps installed).
What Win 7 does is to create 2 separate 'Program Files' directories under the OS Partion/drive. 'Program Files' which is for native x64 and 'Program Files (x86) for the rest.
Do you have a download link available and how do I set it up, or is there documentation on that?
 
How to configure up SJphone for iCall.

SJphone 1.65:
Click on Menu / Options...
Click on Profiles tab
Click on New... and set up as follows:
Profile name: iCall
File name: iCall.ini
Profile type: Calls through SIP Proxy
Click OK
Click SIP Proxy tab
Enter Domain/Realm: sip.iburst.co.za
Click OK
Enter information to initialize the service profile
Account: 27877******
Password: ********
Check Save service information permanently

SJphone 1.60:
Click on the hammer & spanner icon in the centre of the UI
Click on Profiles tab
Click on New... and set up as follows:
Profile name: iCall
File name: iCall.ini
Profile type: Calls through SIP Proxy
Click OK
Click SIP Proxy tab
Enter Proxy domain: sip.iburst.co.za
Click OK
Enter information to initialize the service profile
Account: 27877******
Password: ********
Check Save service information permanently

I had problems with SJphone 1.65, eventually I tried version 1.60 and it just worked. It seems 1.65 tries to register the SIP connection differently and does not work behind my router, it does work fine with the iBurst UTD connected directly to the PC using a PPPoE connection. Strangely, 1.65 will work behind my router if 1.60 is run first.
 
Thanks so much for the detailed info ginggs. Much appreciated.

However neither 1.60 or 1.65 is giving me any joy behind my router. (EDIT - Direct LAN connection with desktop modem does the same)
"SIP: not registered
Host address: No active network interface"

I'm assuming the password is the same as for my iBurst account login?

@Rooi - maybe you can help out here?

Not to complain, but... Why doesn't iBurst AFAIK offer a soft phone download on their own web site if they offer the iCall service?

No the user and password is not the same as your iBurst internet account. You will have to contact help desk" shudder twitch twitch..." or PM Rooies ....

PM me your UTID and I'll have the mahala icall setup for you.
 
Blink looks quite promising, and more recent than SJphone.

I haven't yet figured out how to set it up for iCall though.

No I don't do that. Purely on past experience and principle. I've Pm'd Ronald the UTID details and hopefully I'll receive the pwd as well.

R00i, I see the following in my blink sip trace logs:

Does sip.iburst.co.za need some additional DNS records?
