Before you start

  • A SIP user created in the portal with an authorised caller ID.
  • Zoiper 5 installed from the official site or app store.

Placeholders in angle brackets, such as <ACCOUNT_ID>, come from your portal. The host shown is a placeholder; use the one listed under Portal → Network.

Set up Zoiper

  1. 01

    Start manual setup

    Open Zoiper and on the login screen enter <SIP_USER>@sip.example-carrier.net and your SIP password. Tap Login, then choose SIP when asked for the protocol. Skip the provider search.

  2. 02

    Confirm the server and transport

    Zoiper probes the server. If it offers several transports, choose SIP UDP on fixed broadband and SIP TCP on mobile data, where UDP is often filtered.

  3. 03

    Adjust advanced settings

    Open Settings → Accounts → [account] → Advanced and set the values below.

    Account · Advanced
    Domain ............ sip.example-carrier.net
    Outbound proxy .... (blank)
    Use STUN .......... Off
    Use rport ......... On
    Caller ID ......... (blank — set in portal)
    Codecs ............ a-law, μ-law (then G.729 if licensed)
    DTMF .............. RFC 2833
  4. 04

    Test calls

    Call a mobile and a fixed line in the destination country, as country code plus number. Check the caller ID shown and listen for audio in both directions. On mobile, repeat on Wi-Fi and on mobile data.

Mobile networks and battery

Mobile operating systems suspend background apps, which drops SIP registrations. Zoiper offers push notifications in its paid edition to receive inbound calls while in the background. For outbound-only testing, keep the app in the foreground.

FAQ

Zoiper questions

Can’t find what you need? Our routing team answers within the hour, around the clock.

Is Zoiper free?

Zoiper 5 Free supports SIP calling with G.711. The paid Pro edition adds G.729, push notifications and more accounts.

Why does Zoiper stay on Registering?

Usually UDP is blocked on the network. Switch the account to TCP, or check that SIP ALG is disabled on the router.

Can I set the caller ID in Zoiper?

You can, but we use the number assigned to the SIP user in the portal. A different number in Zoiper is ignored unless it is also authorised for that user.

Does Zoiper work behind corporate firewalls?

Use TLS on port 5061 or TCP on 5060. If both are blocked, ask your IT team to allow our signalling range.
