You can test quality of your connection and you phone setup using our
Echo test. Please dial: 441 and follow instructions. 

In echo test everything you say will be repeated back to you just as
soon as it is received. The purpose of this test is to give you an
audible sense of the latency between you and the machine that is
running the echo test application. You may end the test by hanging up
or by pressing the pound key. 

If you cannot hear yourself clearly when your voice is echoed back to
you this means you have an internet or local network problem that needs
to be addressed. If the echo test does not sound good then your IP
calls will not sound good. 

The bottom line is the echo test has to sound good. If not, then you
should not be making IP phone calls until the echo test gets better. 

Some users mistakenly think there is a problem with the Diamondcard
service when in fact its their internet connection to our server or
local network problem that is causing bad voice quality. This is why we
have the 441 echo test so you can see how good your IP connection is to
our server.
