Yes that is what I used to do and I will have to find out how to do it

still will work that way. Thanks.

If you look at the picture of the softphone on the index page:
http://www.voipbuster.com/en/index.html

Above where it has the advert about sending SMS, in the field where you
enter the number you wish to call, the green phone button lights up.

Don't enter your phone number in the field above, as that is for direct
connect and the system will then call that number first and connect you
through the phone line.
