Overview
The primary mobile softphone application used with Primevox's services is called Cloud Softphone.
This mobile application, when installed on a smartphone, 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 Do I Set Up Cloud Softphone?
1. Open the App Store and search for "Cloud Softphone". The icon will look like the image below:"
2. Once installed, open the app and select "Scan QR". This is located just below the username and password fields.
- Note: A QR Code can be obtained from your phone system's administrator. The QR Code is NOT to be shared as it is unique and a one-time use.
3. Allow the app to access your camera and point the phone's camera at the QR Code you received.
4. Allow the app to use your microphone. You can force your phone to prompt you to allow this by making a test call.
How do I navigate around the App?
The Cloud Softphone app has four different tabs: Quickdial, History, Keypad, and Contacts.
KeypadTab
The Keypad tab (
) should open when you first launch the app.
Here you can:
Make a call
Turn on do not disturb
Check voicemails
Reset the app if needed
Quickdial Tab
The Quickdial tab (
) is also known as speed dial.
Here you can create contacts, internal or external to your phone system, that you dial often.
History Tab
The History tab (
) allows you to see and search your call history.
Additionally, touching the Information icon (
) next to a call record will show you the details of that call.
Contacts Tab
The Contacts tab (
) pulls from your phone's contacts if you allow the app to do so.
What features are available while on a call?

).
2. Select SIP Softphone (

2. On the Settings screen, select Reset Application and have your phone system administrator send you a new QR Code.
