Use X-Lite to call Talkshoe Free
You have joined Talkshoe and you have set your 10-digit PIN.
Download X-Lite for Mac or Windows and install it as you would any program.
Set the SIP settings:
You need to put ideasip.com in the “domain” field. The others can be anything. Make sure “register” is unchecked as in the image and that “target domain” is selected. Click “Apply”
Now you are going to add a contact to phone the Talkshoe server and enter our conference directly:
Put Turkers Talk and anything you want in the top fields, they don’t matter at all.
Under “Contact methods”, Select “softphone on the left and enter the sip numner on the right:
Here is the first part of the SIP number : 7463#11888#
followed by your PIN (in the example image, it’s 0123456789)
followed by the rest of the sip number @proxy.ideasip.com
SIP numbers (called URI) look like email addresses. Example: talkshoe@vuc.onsip.com is a SIP URI.

You can log in to Talkshoe or not, as you wish. Logging in to Talkshoe gives you a screen with who else is logged in and who is dialed in and able to speak. To talk on the call, you need to call via regular phone, Shoephone (free download from Talkshoe) or X-Lite which is an excellent free software phone. I notice the number given in the graphic is wrong. The code is 11888.
7463#11888#0000000000@proxy.ideasip.com where you put your personal PIN in the place of 0000000000. The PIN is set when you join Talkshoe and can be changed by going to My Account on their site.
