<h2>What is this?</h2>
tel.tilde.org.nz also known as tildetel is a small PSTN (Public switched telephone network) for the <a href="https://tildeverse.org/">tildeverse</a>. The users can make calls, leave voice mails and participate in a multi-user conference rooms. The numbers are broken down by "area codes", each tilde has its own area code! A phonebook can be found <a href="https://tel.tilde.org.nz/phonebook/">here</a> (:
<h2>How do I get a number?</h2>
To get a <code>tel.tilde.org.nz</code> number, please message <code>darcy</code> in <code>#tildetel</code> on <a href="https://tilde.chat">the tilde.chat IRC</a>.
<h4>SIP</h4>
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a protocol used in VoIP, allowing users to make voice and video calls.
<h2>How do I use this?</h2>
<p>First you are going to need a SIP account (which you get when you get a number) and your credentials that look like this:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>SIP address:</b> 2013125@tel.tilde.org.nz</li>
<li><b>Password:</b>reallysecurepassword</li>
</ul>
<p>Once you get a SIP account you need a SIP client to use it, there are many out there but we suggest these ones:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.linphone.org/">Linphone</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.microsip.org/">Microsip</a> (windows only but works with wine on linux)</li>
</ul>
<p>Now that you have a SIP account and a SIP client we are ready to get started. This step by step guide uses the Linphone client</p>
<ol>
<li>
When you open Linphone for the first time you'll get something like this:

</li>
<li>
Click on the top left corner and select tel.tilde.org.nz:

Done! You are now connected and succesfully set up your client, to make a call just search their number on the top search bar:
