Making Calls over the Internet
Using VoIP Service
The NetComm 3G18WV allows you to make VoIP calls over the Internet by simply
plugging a standard analogue telephone into the router and using a VoIP Service
Provider (VSP).
Before you get started making a call, make sure you’ve checked the following:
1. Have you inserted your 3G USB modem into your 3G18WV router?
2. Have you set up a VoIP account with a VoIP service provider
(e.g. MyNetFone, Engin, ...)?
Note: The VoIP service provider will issue a phone number or Direct in dial number (DID) for inbound calls, so other people can reach you when calling
from their standard landline phone or a mobile phone.
3G Tower
3G USB Modem
DECT Phone

Note: VoIP calls originating from your connected analogue telephone will appear to callers as originating from this assigned number (Caller ID) if not
congured otherwise.
3. Have you registered your VoIP account in the router’s setting?
Note: As all Voice Service Providers use different settings, please refer to the Online User Manual for details on how to congure VoIP on your 3G18WV.
4. Is your router powered on?
5. Do you have your telephone connected (via a telephone cable) to the Line port
on the rear of the 3G18WV?
6. Is the phone LED light on and can you hear a dial tone when you pick up
your handset?
How to receive a call:
When an incoming call is received, the phone LED will start ashing and the
phone connected to the 3G18WV will ring.
