Funktioniert mit Fonial

Einrichtung mit Fonial war bei mir problemlos. Auch bei geschlossener Linphone-App bekomme ich jetzt die Push-Benachrichtigung zum Anruf, die mich beim Annehmen direkt in die Linphone-App zum Telefonat bringt. Genau wie es sein sollte!

Unbenutzbar

Seit dem letzten Update nicht mehr benutzbar. Konten lassen sich nicht mehr einrichten via Drittanbieter SIP wegen Bug 397.

Only logo-splash screen

After the most recent update as of now, only see the splash screen with the orange logo, lacking any obvious progress.

(I am using it under “Lockdown” mode. Some previous versions (not noted) had worked fine in that mode.)

Very good app

Excellent app. Need to know the configuration settings and how to enter into app. Literacy and numeracy skills required, learnt in primary school.

The login doesn't work

Login via the SIP server isn't working. After entering the information and tapping the login button, nothing happens.
