No, you must set up and configure your Router on your network first. Do these phone calls work behind NAT (Network Address Translation)? Yes Why do my calls cost more when I use my calling card versus making calls with my Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone? Because the calling card calls actually do cost more because they are originating from a regular POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. Your calls that are made from the Router cost less because they are originating over the Internet. I already have a Net2Phone account number, can I use it in place the account number printed on my calling card, which was packaged with my Router? No. The Net2Phone account number that you are already using is for a different type of service and your Router will not work with that account number. You must use the account number that is pre printed on the back of your calling card. Why would I want to use the Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone to make calls instead of using regular Net2Phone service? Because this service lets you make calls over the Internet with the ease of just picking up your phone. Also, these calls do not rely on using your computer. In fact, if you used a cordless phone with device, you could make Internet calls from any room in your house!
