What is a SIP Device?

SIP devices are your access for dialing through the PBXME system. Each SIP device or extension can be connected to with an app (a “softphone”) that connects to your account using SIP credentials. You can create as many SIP devices as you need—for example, one per user, desk phone, or mobile app.

Zoiper is just one example of a softphone. You can use any SIP-compatible softphone or IP phone. For a Zoiper setup example, see: Zoiper Registration Solution for Mobile
