Version 1.02
The Freephoneline VoIP Unlock Key provides sip credentials that can be used to configure any SIP client to work with the Freephoneline service. Please review the following Freephoneline guidelines to set up your SIP client. Failure to follow the required guidelines will result in account suspension followed by a notification email. Once your configuration adheres to the guidelines, service will be restored. VoIP Unlock Keys are intended for residential services only; PBXes and commercial services are prohibited.
These guidelines may change over time - if and when they are changed freephoneline users will be notified at the email address used for account login a minimum of 7 days prior to the changes being required. Please ensure your contact information is accurate by visiting your account profile on freephoneline.ca.
