Introduction
How the GLOBARANGE phone works
Connect this phone to both a landline and the Internet (IP line) so you can make or receive internet calls as well as landline calls.
When you make calls with A, a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service, your voice will be sent as data packets over the Internet to the destination where they are converted into voice. Basically, you can make internet calls using the Aservice virtually the same as using a landline. For more information, see “What is A/A number?” below and visit www.joip.com

What is A/Anumber?
Ais the VoIP service provided by deltathree Inc. After connecting this phone to the Internet (page 17, 28), a unique Anumber is sent to your handset display (page 30), so you can use your IP line as follows:
1.Make and receive free calls to and from other Anumbers for a full period of 3 years from the date of setup.*1*2
2.Make calls from your Anumber to landline and cellular phones at very low rates by subscribing to the appropriate service at www.joip.com
3.Receive calls from landline and cellular phone numbers via your IP line by subscribing for additional phone number(s) at www.joip.com
These additional phone numbers can be chosen regardless of your geographic location from a list of international and local area codes offered by A. There may be restrictions in obtaining phone numbers from certain countries or areas. Visit www.joip.com for details.
A Anumber consists of the pound key (#) followed by 10 digits, enabling you to
make and receive free calls to and from other Anumber owners for a full period of 3 years from the date of setup.*1*2
The Anumber does not involve extra charges and is given free to Panasonic GLOBARANGE phone owners.
