Hi BK, I did try what you said to do, but when I went to "view objects" the dialpad applet was not there. I must have somehow deleted it and don't remember doing it. I used dialpad for US calls awhile back (can't remember if it was when I was still using a dial-up or if it was with the dsl connection that I am currently using). The connection was choppy at times, but I never used it for international calling. I did use freewebcall.com a few times to call London and it went through all right. They actually use to give free service to England. Now they too are a pay for service company. They are a poorly run company in my opinion - site is down often and the service doesn't always work - not to mention how lousy their stock ACCR is doing. Anyhow, not quite sure what I'll do next with the dialpad. Still haven't heard from them and their customer service phone number is always busy. I asked them if I could trade the $10 credit to use as a call card credit - that you use your own phone for - it cost about twice the amount to call England but it is still cheap at .089 per minute. Last month I used my regular Verizon home phone to call a cousin in Ireland, spoke for under a half hour, and was charged over $30 for the call! If I don't hear from dialpad, do you think it is safe to enable that security setting just for the download? -pat
