Making Voice Calls
The NetComm MyWay allows you to make high quality voice calls over the 3G network by simply plugging a standard analogue phone into the router.
Before you get started, make sure you’ve checked the following:
1. Have you inserted your 3G SIM card that supports both data and voice into your MyWay router?
2. Is your MyWay powered on?
3. Do you have your phone connected (via a telephone cable) to the Line 1 or Line 2 port?
4. Is the phone LED (light) on and can you hear a dial tone?
That’s it – you can now enjoy making and receiving calls from your MyWay router.
Note: Please refer to your mobile service provider for activation of your voice service and information about the call charges
that apply. For assistance with the operation of your telephone handset, please refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer of your analogue telephone.
How to receive a call
When an incoming call is received, both Line 1 and Line 2 lights will start ashing and the phone(s) connected to the MyWay will ring. If the call is answered from the telephone connected to Line 1, the telephone connected to Line 2 will receive an engaged tone for the duration of the call.
