World-Link VoIP – Setting up Firefly and Using the Softphone

There are various softphones available on the net  and if you have one already installed, the main data you need to know to use World-Link's VoIP is as follows.

1. Network type = IAX*

2. Server = voip.worldlink.ie

3. Username = Account No. (or "guest" if you wish to access securely - go to "To Use World-Link VoIP" for more info on this option)

4. Password = PIN (leave blank if using “guest” for Username)

If you do not already have a softphone downloaded, can we recommend Firefly from Virbiage to you. It is simple to download, install, and set-up. Note: Firefly works with Windows only - If you need software for Mac or Linux, we recommend Counterpath's X-Lite (set-up instructions not yet online - but we'll be glad to walk you through installation if you drop us a line).

*World-Link’s VoIP works with SIP also.
