Gigaset C470 IP/C475 IP – More than just a telephone
Your phone lets you make calls both via the fixed line network and (cost effectively) via the
Internet (VoIP) without using a PC. – Your phone can do much more besides:
u Press a button each time you make a call to indicate whether you want to call via the
fixed line network or the Internet (page 31).
u Register up to six handsets on your base station. With your base station, you can simul-
taneously conduct two calls via VoIP and one call via the fixed line network.
u Multiline: Create up to six VoIP accounts with different VoIP providers. Together with
your fixed line number and the Gigaset.net number, your phone can then be reached
via up to eight different phone numbers.
u Assign each handset its own VoIP number as a send and receive number. If a member
of your family is called on their VoIP number, only their handset will ring (page 144).
u You can also use the VoIP accounts with different providers for cost control purposes.
When dialling, specify the VoIP connection/the VoIP account you want to use for its
lower rates (page 32).
u Setting dialling plans for phone numbers or area codes enables you to automate the
selection of the most cost-effective VoIP connection (page 149).
u Determine which of your phone numbers should be answered by the Gigaset C475 IP
answer machine (page 145).
u Use Gigaset.net for VoIP calls. Connect your phone to the mains power supply and the
Internet, and enjoy free phone calls on Gigaset.net – without making any further set-
tings (page 41).
u Configure the phone connection for VoIP without a PC. Your phone's connection assist-
ant downloads general data about your VoIP provider from the Internet and guides you
through entering your personal data (VoIP/SIP account). This makes it easy for you to
start using VoIP (page 19).
u If necessary, make any further VoIP settings on a PC. The phone features a Web interface
(Web configurator) that can be accessed via your PC's Web browser (page 125).
u Use instant messaging on your handset. Go online and see which of your messenger
contacts (buddies) are also online. Exchange SMS messages with your buddies or simply
give them a call (page 86). A free messenger account is already set up for you on the
Gigaset.net Jabber server (page 153).
u Let your phone tell you, without requiring a PC, about new e-mail messages in your
mailbox (page 83). Use your handset to delete old e-mail messages from your mailbox.
u Make sure your phone is always up-to-date. Keep yourself informed about firmware
updates on the Internet and download them onto your phone (page 117).
u You can reduce the transmission power by activating eco mode (page 25).
Enjoy using your new phone!
