Hi, Luis (and a belayed hello to Karl)
Thanks the two of you for the specific and detailed help. I'll read
the manual! I noticed the manual for Evolution there, I'll
read that one, too.
I have no problem at all paying for the phone #, hoping that it will be
nominal. I've been paying $2.95 a month for anotherVoIP phone # .
Before that, I had been paying $65 for cell phone service. I'm sure that instructions how to make the purchase/lease will be in the manual or on the website.
