Before you download X-Lite, please note:
In order to use X-Lite to make audio calls to softphone/mobile/landline numbers and make video calls/send Instant Messages to softphones, you require a VoIP (Voice over IP) or broadband service subscription with a local service provider or ISP. Please contact your local service provider to subscribe.
