A Dialer is a software program, which will
enable you to make your international calls from
your PC. You need to download the Dialer only
once (unless there is an updated version in
which case you will be requested to download the
new Dialer).
-

No, you need to connect to www.nayumaonline.com only

information about PC-to-Phone. You can make
calls from the Dialer without logging on to
www.nayumaonline.com every time.
-
How can I improve the sound quality
of the call?
One of the factors that can affect sound quality
is the Internet bandwidth available during your
call. Try to avoid making calls during peak
Internet usage hours when traffic is high.
Another tip is to use a headset with a built-in
microphone. This will help eliminate echo and
ensure better sound. Adjust the microphone
volume so that your speech is not too loud.
-
How can I improve the echo on my
PC-to-Phone calls?
We recommend the following:
a. Speak with a headset instead of a microphone.
b. If you are using a microphone, hold it away
from the speakers to avoid having the sound from
your speakers recirculate into your microphone.
c. Lower the volume on your speakers.
d. Check with your sound card manufacturer to be
sure you are using the latest drivers.
e. Use a direct phone jack. A split line or
extension cord between your phone jack and
computer can enhance the echo.
-
Why do I get a distorted or choppy
sound sometimes?
The distorted or choppy sound is due to data
packets of the speech being lost or dropped.
This could be due to a bad Internet connection,
low bandwidth, sound card problems, insufficient
memory, or a slow CPU. Always ensure that the
latest sound card driver is installed. It is
advisable to close unnecessary programs to
conserve memory and CPU load, when you use the
Prepaid Calls Service. Try to make calls during
non-peak hours to ensure better bandwidth.
-
I get a busy tone after my call is
connected, what is the cause?
It means that the phone number that you've
dialed is engaged or busy. The phone gateway
that the PC-to-Phone Service communicates with
is unable to terminate the call automatically.
Click hang up to terminate the call manually and
try again later.
-
How can I improve the sound
quality?
Following are some recommendations that may help
improve the sound quality of your calls.
a. A high-quality full-duplex sound card, and be
sure you are using the latest drivers (check
with the sound card manufacturer).
b. Using the cleanest (uninterrupted) and
fastest Internet connection possible.
c. Close as many browser windows and
applications as possible.

removed. This should allow you to continue to
install the software, and then successfully attach
the Yap Phone.

prompted for an account number and PIN?
