VoIP Phones - 3cx
3CX is 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.
