A soft phone is software that runs on your computer that allows you to take/receive calls as if you were using a VoIP phone. Prices range from free to $50 (approximately) depending on the features.

With a soft phone you will need a headset that can plug into your computer. Most computers have a USB connection therefore you will need a headset with a USB connection.

Where to get a Headset to Use with Your Soft Phone

You can purchase your headset from our Support Department or you can purchase it anywhere electronics are sold.
