Warning regarding using your phone extension on a mobile device

We strongly suggest that you use your phone extension on a mobile device only in special cases and not on a daily basis since there are several drawbacks to consider:

1. If you don’t open the App, you won’t get any calls
2. If you block your mobile device like you normally do when you’re not using it, you’ll lose the connection to the myPBX business phone system and won’t receive any calls.
3. Calls work great on 4G connection but on most 3G connections connection is lost frequently resulting in call drops and robotized voice. It’s always better to use it on a Wi-Fi network.
4. Zoiper and other Softphone applications consume lots of battery since they require a permanent connection to the server.

 

How do I configure Zoiper on an iPhone

Install and Open Zoiper

Go to the App Store and install the Zoiper App, we suggest you connect your phone to a Wi-Fi Network.
When you open Zoiper, it will show you two messages saying that it cannot access the Camera and the Microphone.

Enable the Mic and Camera access

Open your iPhone Settings and go to Privacy.

Now click on the microphone, search on the apps enable it for Zoiper.
