What SIP-phones can I connect?

How can I connect an Acrobits phone?

Acrobits is an Android and iPhone app that can be purchased in Play store and App store. You can connect it to Sonetel and use it  for making and receiving calls. Calls are connected across the Internet (3G, WiFi etc.) to and from Sonetel. 

Making calls across mobile internet connections does usually not provide good enough call quality for having business calls. We recommend that you use the Sonetel iPhone app, which uses a regular mobile call to connect locally to Sonetel. If you want to try Acrobits anyway, please find the instructions below.

Acrobits also has a more expensive version that supports Call transfer and conference calls that is called Groundwire.

    1. Download from app store or Play store
