Voipfone Softphone Configuration Guide

Available on the Google Play Store

Our Android Softphone App is simple to set up and use - just follow our how to configuration guide below and you will be ready to go in a couple of minutes.

When you first launch the app, you will be asked to login using either your QR code or your extension information (manual setup, applicable to master accounts).

To obtain your extension's QR code, log into your control panel and head to Manage Softphone.

Manual setup

Firstly, you will need your account number, extension number and your extension password. These can be found at your PBX Extensions page in the control panel (if you're not the account holder you'll need to ask them for these details).

Click the eye icon to view your extension's password:

Account number, extension number and extension password location

If you are chosing to log in with your extension information, in the Account Number field please format your input as follows:

[account_number]*[extension number]

So if your account number is 30999999 and your extension number is 200 you would enter: 30999999*200

In the Password field, enter the password for your extension obtained in the previous step.
