RingByName Supports the use of Softphones for mobile devices and desktop computers

A softphone is a phone that lets you make calls through the internet from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. It allows you to dial phone numbers via computer screen using your mouse, keypad or keyboard.  With softphones, you don’t even need a phone to call anymore; you can use a headset or microphone for the actual call.
