Getting started with Linphone for Android/iPhone
You just downloaded Linphone on your iPhone or Android phone. Great ! But what happens now ? What's that complicated settings view ?(开始设置)
Let's go to the basics: before being able to place calls to any number worldwide, you need to purchase a SIP account from a VoIP operator or provider. The VoIP operator's role is to transform a pure internet VoIP call into classical PSTN call, thanks to a set of machines called gateways.
第一步:如果你想呼叫全球任意地区的电话号码,那么你首先要在VOIP运营商那里购买一个SIP帐号.VOIP运营商的角色就是:通过一系列的网关设备把因特网上的VOIP通话转换成传统的电话通话.
Linphone is a general purpose SIP softphone that isn't bound to any operator. Because it is compatible with SIP, it can work with any VoIP operator using SIP (most of them use SIP, the most notable exception being Skype). Linphone.org is not affiliated nor recommends a VoIP operator in particular. We invite you to select a VoIP provider in your country by browsing the web, and compare rates etc...
Note that you might have a SIP account included with your internet line subscription: it is the case in France for clients of the free.fr internet provider, who is powering the freephonie.net VoIP network.
Linphone是一个通用目的的SIP通话软件,不隶属于任何VOIP运营商.因为Linphone兼容SIP协议,所以可以在任何使用SIP协议的VOIP运营商网络上使用(大多数运营商使用的是SIP协议,最出名的没有采用SIP协议的就是Skype了).Linphone.org不会特别推荐VOIP运营商,你可以通过搜索引擎来选择一个所在地区的VOIP运营商.
如果你在法国,并且使用了free.fr的宽带网络, 那你的宽带费用中可能已经包含了一个SIP帐号,该运营商运营了一个叫做freephonie.net的VOIP网络.
Ok I have now a SIP account at some-voip-company dot com, what do I do ?(已经有了帐号该怎么办)
Go to the settings page of Linphone. On android it is accessible through the "menu" button, on iPhone the settings are located within the Settings application, together with all other iPhone settings. You 'll have to enter at least three things:
- Username
- Domain
- Password
进入Linphone的设置界面.如果你用的是Android设备,那么点击"菜单"键.如果你用的是iPhone,那么打开"设置"应用,Linphone的设置界面和iPhone的设置在一起.你最少要输入三项:用户名,主机名,密码.
All this information should be provided to you by your VoIP operator during signup process. For your information, username and domain form your SIP identity when grouped together like an email address:
以上这些信息都应该在你注册的时候由VOIP运营商提供给你.你的用户名和主机名组成你的SIP识别码,类似于邮箱地址:
sip:my_username@my_voip_provider
Sometimes, VoIP providers might require to setup also the "Proxy" field. This happens when the domain is different from the proxy.
And that's all. Once returned back from the settings page, Linphone should say something like "Registered on XXXX" or "Registration on XXXX sucessful".
有时候,你需要设置代理选项.通常是由于主机地址和代理地址不一致.
这时候就设置好了.当你从设置界面返回的时候,Linphone会发个提示信息,类似于"Registered on XXXX" or "Registration on XXXX sucessful".
You can now place calls.
你就可以开始打电话了.
All other settings are for advanced users or geeks who want to play with the software.
其他的设置选项是提供给高级用户的.
Great it works on wifi !(在wifi)上使用
Yes you can place calls now whenever your have your smartphone connected to your home wifi or any (unrestricted) public wifi.
当你的手机连接到wifi的时候你也可以发起会话.
Some people say that it's also working on 3G but not for me...(有些用户说可以在3G网络上使用,为什么我的不行呢?)
You first need to make sure you are allowed to use VoIP with your 3G connection, check your contract with your mobile operator. Some mobile operators have clauses to forbid VoIP on their network, and they then block all VoIP traffic. Despite technical solutions exist to workaround these limitations, we do not wish to enter such a fight. We aim Linphone to be a software that innovates to solve technical problems, not legal ones.
你需要首先确定你是否可以在3G网络上使用VOIP,可以查看你和移动运营商签订的合约.某些移动运营商禁止在她们的网络上使用VOIP.尽管有些技术手段可以突破他们的限制,但是我们并不想这样做.我们希望Linphone的目标是解决技术问题,而不是法律问题.
Linphone.org thinks it is not fair to offer such restricted internet access. We hope this is a temporary situation: more and more mobile operators choose to open their 3G network to VoIP.
我们认为运营商这种限制因特网访问的做法对于用户并不公平.我们希望这只是一种临时的情况,而且也希望越来越多的移动运营商会开放他们的3G网络给VOIP.
