Configuring a VoIP account ( on Android Android )

Which accounts are supported?

Zoiper will work with any PBX server that is compatible with the SIP or IAX protocol.

You can use the VoIP providers list or setup your account manually.

 

Manual configuration

In order to connect to your telephone system, you will need to know:


Account type - it can be SIP or IAX
Hostname - It may look like sip.example.com or an ip address. It is often named domain or registrar.

The default SIP port is 5060. In case your SIP account needs to be configured with a different port than 5060, you will need to add it at the end of the hostname, separated with : like this:

sip.example.com:5063

Username – this is the username for your account.    
Password – this is the password for your account.


Depending on the type of PBX, you may need to use an outbound proxy.

In case it's a must, your provider should have sent you this information as well.

 

If you do not know all the details for your account, request them from your VoIP provider.

Configuring your account:
Start Zoiper for Android, click "Config", select "Accounts" and then "Add account”.
