5.3 Make Phone Calls
5.3.1 Make Calls using Numbers
There are three ways to make phone calls:
1. Pick up handset or press SPEAKERPHONE button, and then enter the phone numbers
2. Press the SEND button directly to redial the number last called.
Once pressed, the last dialed number will be displayed on the LCD as the corresponding DTMF
tones are played out and an outgoing call is sent.
3. Browse the CALLED/CALLER history and press the SEND/REDIAL button.
Pick up the handset or press the speakerphone button, then press the “CALLED/CALLERS”
button to browse thru the last 10 numbers dialed out. Once the desired number is identified and
displayed on the LCD screen, press the SEND button and a new call to that displayed number
will be sent out immediately.
Examples:
•To dial another extension on the same proxy, such as 1008, simply pick up handset or press
speakerphone, dial 1008 and then press the “SEND” button.
•To dial a PSTN number such as 6266667890, you might need to enter in some prefix number
followed by the phone number. Please check with your VoIP service provider to get the
information. If you phone is assigned with a PSTN-like number such as 6265556789, most
likely you just follow the rule to dial 16266667890 as if you were calling from a regular analog
phone, followed by pressing the “SEND” button.
5.3.2 Make Calls using IP Address
Direct IP calling allows two parties, that is, a BudgeTone phone and another VoIP Device, to talk to
each other in an ad hoc fashion without a SIP proxy. This kind of VoIP calls can be made between two
parties if:
•Both BudgeTone phone and other VoIP Device(i.e., another IP Phone or BudgeTone SIP phone
or other VoIP unit) have public IP addresses, or
•Both BudgeTone phone and other VoIP Device are on the same LAN using private or public IP
addresses, or
•Both BudgeTone phone and other VoIP Device can be connected through a router using public
or private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
To make a direct IP to IP call, first off hook, then press “MENU” key, then enter a 12-digit target IP
address to make the call. If port is not default 5060, destination ports can be specified by using “*4”
(encoding for “:”) followed by the port number.

BudgeTone-100 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.
- 16 -
Examples:
•If the target IP address is 192.168.0.10, the dialing convention is
MENU_key 192 168 000 010
followed by pressing the “SEND” key or wait for seconds in the No Key Entry Timeout.
•If the target IP address/port is 192.168.1.20:5062, then the dialing convention would be:
MENU_key 192168001020*45062
followed by pressing the “SEND” key wait for seconds in the No Key Entry Timeout.
5.3.3 Answer an Incoming Call
There are two ways to answer an incoming call:
1. Pick up the handset to answer the call normally using handset, or
2. Press the SPEAKERPHONE button to answer in speakerphone or headset mode
5.3.4 Handset Mode, Speakerphone/Headset Mode
Handset mode and Speakerphone/Headset mode cannot be enabled at the same time. Pressing the
hook-switch or Speakerphone button would toggle the phone between these two modes.
5.3.5 Call Hold
While in conversation, pressing the “Hold” button will put the remote end on hold. Pressing the “Hold”
button again will release the previously Hold state and resume the bi-directional media.
5.3.6 Call Waiting and Call Flashing
If call waiting feature is enabled, while the user is in a conversation, he will hear a special stutter tone
if there is another incoming call. User then can press FLASH button to put the current call party on
hold automatically and switch to the other call. Pressing flash button toggles between two active calls.

5.3.7 Call Transfer
Two transfer operations are supported.
5.3.7.1 Blind Transfer
User can transfer an active call to a third party without announcement.
User presses the “TRANSFER” button and if the other voice channel is available (i.e., there is no
other active conversation besides the current one), user will hear a dial tone. User can then dial
the third party’s phone number followed by pressing SEND button.
NOTE:
•“Enable Call Feature” has to be configured to “Yes” in web configuration page in order to
make the features to work.
A can hold on to the phone and wait for one of the three following behaviors:
•A quick confirmation tone (temporarily using the call waiting indication tone) follows by a
dial tone. This indicates the transfer has been successful. At this point, the user can either hang up
or make another call.
•A quick busy tone followed by a restored call (On supported platforms only). This means the
transfer has failed due to the failed response sent from server and the phone will try to recover the
call. The busy tone is just to indicate to the transferor that the transfer has failed.
•Busy tone keeps playing. This means the phone has failed to receive the final response and decide
to time out. Be advised that this does not indicate the transfer has been successful, nor does it
indicate the transfer has failed.
5.3.7.2 Attended Transfer
User can transfer an active call to a third party with announcement.
User presses the “FLASH” button and hears a dial tone, then dial the third party’s phone number
followed by pressing “SEND” button. If the call is answered, press “TRANSFER” to complete
the transfer operation and hand up, if the call is not answered, pressing “FLASH” button to
resume the original call.
NOTE:
•When Attended Transfer failed, if A hangs up, the BudgeTone phone will ring user A back
again to remind A that B is still on the call. A can pick up the phone to restore conversation
with B.

BudgeTone-100 User Manual Grandstream Networks, Inc.

5.3.8 Conference Call
BudgeTone 100 phone supports 3-way conference.
Assuming that call party A and B are in conversation. A wants to bring C in a conference:
1. A presses the “CONFERENCE” button to get a dial tone and put B on hold
2. A dials C’s number then “SEND” key to make the call
3. If C answers the call, then A presses “CONFERENCE” button to bring B, C in the conference.
4. If C does not answer the call, A can press FLASH back to talk to B.
NOTE:
•During the conference, if B or C drops the call, the remaining two parties can still talk.
However, if A the conference initiator hangs up, all calls will be terminated.
