 STEP 2: Downloading GalaxyCall software to your Computer

 1.        Open the Internet browser on your PC and go to www.GalaxyCall.net.  

 2.        Click Download.  Note: If you are prompted for a User ID and Password, use the same information provided in Step 3 above.

 3.        Click Agree if you agree with the terms presented in the license agreement.

 4.        Select the software version compatible with your system.

 6.        Choose Save to save the file to a location in your computer where you can retrieve it later.  Note: The downloaded file is a compressed (ZIP) file.  Download is now complete.

  To install software on a PC continue to step 3.  To install on a PDA, skip to step 4.

  STEP 3: Installing the software on your PC

 1.        Open the directory on your PC where you saved the ZIP file (download section).

 2.        Extract the contents of the ZIP file (select it with your mouse, right-click on it, choose Extract All and follow the instructions).

 3.        Find Setup.exe and double click on it to start the installation process.  Follow the instructions and enter the information requested.

 4.        During installation you will be asked to enter the serial number assigned to you when you activated the account.   Enter it exactly as you received it, including dashes (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx).

 5.        You will be prompted for installation options.  We recommend that you leave the default values.

 6.        When installation is complete, open your Windows Start Menu and click on PPPhone.

 7.        You will be prompted to enter “SIP Server Password”.  This is the password that you received when you activated your account.  Note: You may change this password in the control panel on the GalaxyCall Website.

 8.        Next, enter your account information on the settings window.

       9.        Configure other options if appropriate and select OK to save the new settings.

 10.      Re-start the program and check the status indicator at the top of the phone.  If the status indicator is green, your settings are correct.

 11.     If the status indicator is still red, please proceed to step 5.

  STEP 4: Installing the software on your PDA

1.        Open the directory on your PC where you saved the ZIP file (download section).

2.        Extract the contents of the ZIP file (select it with your mouse, right-click on it, choose Extract All, then follow the instructions).

3.        Look for the file ppphone2003.cab, and transfer it to My Documents on your PDA.    If your PDA runs on Pocket PC 2002, the file name will be ppphone2002.cab. You may need to use your cradle to transfer the file.

 4.        Find ppphone2003.cab on your PDA and Tap on it to run the installation.

 5.        When the installation is complete, look for PPPhone on the start menu and tap on it.  Note:  If it is not listed on your Start menu, go to Start->Programs.  You should see the PPPhone icon among your other installed programs.

 6.        You will be asked to enter the serial number assigned to you during activation.   It is case sensitive; enter it exactly as you received it, including dashes (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx).

 7.        Open the Tools menu at the bottom-left corner of the screen and select Setup.

 8.        Enter your account information on the settings window.

 9.        Configure other options if appropriate and select OK to save the new settings.

 
10.     Re-start the program and check the status indicator at the top of the phone.  If the status indicator is green, your settings are correct.  If it is still red, proceed to step 5.

   Step 5: Connection Settings/ Trouble shooting

 Follow these steps if the status indicator is red:

 1.        In the Settings window select the Detailed Setup tab.

 2.        Check the box under Connection which best applies to you:

                        LAN:  Any type of wireless LAN, including WiFi.

                        PHS64: May be used for Dialup connections or PHS network.

 Note: If using a dialup or PHS connection, the Dialup Connections section will allow you to enter values for your internet account.  This information refers to your account with your ISP, not your GalaxyCall account.

 3.        Select OK and EXIT GalaxyCall to save and activate the registered settings.

 4.        Restart the program and check that the status indicator is green.

How to Use GalaxyCall

      Once the status indicator is green, making and receiving calls is fairly simple.  To place a call, use the number keys on the keypad to dial the destination number.  Then click        to connect.  The         key is also used to answer incoming calls. 

When your number is busy or unanswered, you may receive the actual message or notification of your messages by e-mail.
