At Ringover, a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) phone is a type of phone that uses the SIP protocol to make and receive calls over the Internet instead of the traditional phone network. These phones can be physical devices similar to conventional office phones or software applications installed on computers, smartphones, or tablets.
Prerequisites:
- You'll need a SIP phone ☎️ connected to your network
- This option is available for Ringover Business or Advanced accounts, or the SIP add-on if you're on the SMART plan 💳
To take into account:
- This procedure is valid for the Yealink phone model T42S, but the principle is the same for all phones – only the menus will differ.
