No longer works

March 2022 - the 3CX soft phone now only works with the 3CX PBX and is no longer a generic SIP client and so won't work with our SIP servers.

Legacy information

Older versions of 3CX was a software phone for Windows, iPhone and Android. See www.3cx.com/voip/softphone Be aware that this stand alone client 'does not receive any software updates or support' from 3CX.

The 3CX PBX is very different to this soft phone, and does work with our SIP service.

This SIP software on an iPhone just works.
