    How the GLOBARANGE phone works
    Connect this phone to both a landline and the Internet (IP line) so you can make or 
    receive internet calls as well as landline calls.
    When you make calls with A, a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service, your 
    voice will be sent as data packets over the Internet to the destination where they are 
    converted into voice. Basically, you can make internet calls using the A service 
    virtually the same as using a landline. For more information, see “What is A/A 
    number?” below and visit www.joip.com
    What is A/A number?
    A is the VoIP service provided by deltathree Inc. After connecting this phone to the 
    Internet (page 17, 28), a unique A number is sent to your handset display (page 
    30), so you can use your IP line as follows:
    1. Make and receive free calls to and from other A numbers for a full period of 3 
    years from the date of setup.
    *1*2
    2. Make calls from your A number to landline and cellular phones at very low 
    rates by subscribing to the appropriate service at www.joip.com
    3. Receive calls from landline and cellular phone numbers via your IP line by 
    subscribing for additional phone number(s) at www.joip.com
    These additional phone numbers can be chosen regardless of your geographic 
    location from a list of international and local area codes offered by A. There 
    may be restrictions in obtaining phone numbers from certain countries or areas. 
    Visit www.joip.com for details.
    A A number consists of a # followed by 10 digits, enabling you to make and 
    receive free calls to and from other A number owners for a full period of 3 years 
    from the date of setup.
    *1*2
    The A number does not involve extra charges and is given free to Panasonic 
    GLOBARANGE phone owners.
