Problems?

If you have problems registering CSIP Simple online or making calls, in CSIP's Network Settings Enable STUN and enter the STUN Server: stun.sipgate.net

In CSIP's Account Settings offers choose to enable STUN for SIP, STUN for Media (RTP) or both.

In the Media menu, CSIP offers different codecs for WiFi and 3G connections. We recommend using lower bandwidth codecs with 3G connections:  

Supported Audio Codecs and Nominal Bandwidth 

GPRS and EDGE connections will allow CSIP to register, but are not recommended for VoIP calling.

CSIP provides a wide range of advanced options to tweak its operation. For advanced configuration and support contact the developer.

Using Multiple Phones Behind the Same Router:

If there's more than one VoIP phone/device on the same local network, assigning each different local UDP ports will avoid port conflicts.

For each SIP Phone or device you add, increment the local ports used by 100.
