MicroSIP is a lightweight and open-source softphone application. It supports VoIP using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). MicroSIP is popular with users because it is free, easy to use, consumes minimal device resources, and enables high-quality audio with numerous VoIP providers.
This guide will teach you how to configure your United World Telecom service with the MicroSIP softphone on a Windows device.
Prerequisites:
- An active account with United World Telecom.
- VoIP/SIP credentials (i.e., the UserID and Password for the lines you wish to use). Learn how to find your credentials.
- MicroSIP must be installed on your machine.
MicroSIP Setup Instructions
As mentioned in the prerequisites, MicroSIP must be installed on your device.
You can download the app on MicroSIP’s website. After downloading the app, launch the installation process and keep clicking next. The installation process is relatively quick.
Once the app is launched, you must connect your United World Telecom account to use it.
Step 1: Open your MicroSIP app, go to Menu ⇒ Add Account
Step 2: Fill out the information as follows and click save:
- Account name (optional): this can be named whatever you want. In most cases, we recommend using your User ID.
- Username: this will be the UserID of your associated outbound line.
- Domain: mysipaccount.net or asia.mysipaccount.net
- Password: this will be the password tied to your outbound line.
- Transport: Auto
Step 3: Once set up, you will see a green icon in the bottom left that says Online.
Step 4: If the green icon says Online, then you are ready to start making and receiving calls.
And that’s it! Once this process is complete, you should be able to use MicroSIP.
Softphone Integrations
We support integrations and connectivity with dozens of popular softphones, CRMs, help desks, and other PBX systems. Our services can be used with many third-party systems for incoming and outgoing calls.
However, while we support MicroSIP connectivity, we generally recommend that users install our in-house GCF Softphone.
