| EcoFone™
EcoFone™ is a softphone, available in either H323
compliant or SIP compliant versions, that can be used in a PC to call another EcoFone™ on the Internet or a regular telephone with a directory number through an Internet Telephony Service Provider
(ITSP).
EcoFone™ works with a public IP address or a private IP
address behind a firewall through which it can make and receive calls.
An EcoFone™ running in a PC can be issued with an unique Internet Telephone Number, which may be the user's own regular telephone number, by Ecocarrier's service platform to make calls to another EcoFone™ or a regular fixed line or mobile telephone with a directory number or receive calls from callers dialing its Internet Telephone Number using another EcoFone™ or a regular fixed line telephone or a mobile telephone through a VoIP gateway/switch of an
ITSP.
A traveler using an EcoFone™ in a Notebook PC registered with Ecocarrier's service platform can make and receive telephone calls in any place where the PC is connected to the Internet. |

Special Application Note
A very good application for the EcoFone™ and
headset (installed in a notebook computer) combination is to use them together with Prepaid ISP service. The customer buys a Prepaid ISP Card (with credits of US$50 or US$100) for use during his business travel. He can use the Prepaid ISP Card for accessing the ISP by dialing a local access number and then use the EcoFone™ and
headset combination to make calls back to the office or make international calls to any telephone number if he is registered with Ecocarrier's call termination service. Typically US$3.95 buys 10 hours of Prepaid ISP service. Local telephone number to access ISP service is available in most cities in USA.
EcoFone™ is far superior to NetMeeting and is implemented with superior features including the ability to make calls through firewall and very accurate way of doing over-dial of digits after the call has been connected and only requiring the use of minimum bandwidth.
