Depending on your location and connection, you will have different options on how to place the call. The options include: VOIP This option will use WiFi internet connection if WiFi is turned ON on your phone and is connected to a WiFi network. If not, it will use your mobile carrier s Internet connection and therefore may be subject to data usage charges from your mobile carrier. Call quality using VoIP will depend on the strength of the Internet connection. Call through This option will dial a local access number (depending on the Country/Region you chose during installation). It will then automatically dial the number you are attempting to call and connect the call through the local access number. This option will be subject to minute usages for the local number dialed by your mobile carrier. This option is not available in every country. Ringback This option will place an incoming call to your phone. When you answer, you will be automatically connected to the number you dialed. This option will be considered an incoming call with your mobile carrier. You can also initiate a call by dialing the number you would like to call from the phone s native dialpad. Make sure to prefix the call with the international dialing prefix of your country (e.g. 011, 00, etc.).

This call interception would work only if the Mobitalker app has already been launched and not exited. The Contacts window in the Mobitalker app stores all your contacts on your phone.
