3.3 Placing a Call
You can contact someone using:
• A traditional phone number, if supported by your VoIP service provider.
• A softphone address (for example, [email protected])
Place the call as described in the table below. The outgoing call opens in its own call panel, below any other
existing call panels. You will hear a ringing tone while Bria attempts to make a connection.
A call panel opens showing the call attempt, then the call established. For information on working with the call,
see “Handling an Established Call” on page 14.
