I have a VFX line with a analogue phone plugged into my modem/router at home . All works fine.
I will be travelling through Turkey for 6 weeks later this year and would like to be able to use VFX via WiFi while I am away. I have the ComPilot set up on my laptop and can use it to generate a call while at home as it calls my VFX phone and then connects the call. What I want to know is that the only way it works. Can I not make the call from the laptop overseas without the phone. Is ther not a way of using the laptops microphone and speakers or a USB phone plugged into the Laptop.
Any suggestions welcome on alternatives ways of doing this

Best bet get a second line OpenVFX then you can use a softphone on your laptop, counterpath eyebeam is a very good client and the one i use myself.

When you have finished and if it's not something you would use often then cancel the 2nd line.

Yes I am a employee of WxC (My Profile) ... but I do have my own opinions as well

Or if you don't need the line still active at home, change to open VFX whilst away, rather than 2nd line.
