It resides on the user’s PC or laptop, and can be accessed when a high speed internet connection is available.

The Ring 9 SoftPhone is easy to use. An intuitive user interface offers unique, one click keys for placing and receiving calls and for the most commonly used features, such as voice mail, redial, transfer, and volume control.
