Cloud Softphone for a desktop computer allows a user to make and receive phone calls using their business phone number, check voicemail messages, send and receive text messages, call other extensions, and transfer calls.
How To Set Up Cloud Softphone For Desktop
Once you've chosen to use Cloud Softphone for Desktop, your phone system administrator will send you a system-generated email with the sender being no-reply@primevox.net. This email will contain your username and password as well as two install links; one for Windows and the other for Mac OS.
- Windows Download Link: https://pbx.primevox.net/desktopapps/CloudSoftphone.exe
- MacOS Download Link: https://pbx.primevox.net/desktopapps/CloudSoftphone.dmg
Please note: some browsers or email clients will initially block the install wizard from appearing when clicking on the links as a security feature. To bypass the feature, simply right-click on the link and select "copy link address," then open a new browser window and paste the copied information into the address bar.After the app has finished installing, you will be brought to the login page. Here you will enter the username and password provided in your invitation email.
