3.2 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])
You can place one more call when another call is already in progress. There is no limit to the number of calls
you can make, although eventually the quality of audio and video will degrade because of limitations on the
computer. We recommend no more than six concurrent calls.
Place the call as described in the table on the next page. 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.
The outgoing call opens in its own call panel, below any other existing call panels.
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 16.
