#### How do I set my offline behavior?

The **Offline behavior** in the sipgate app can be turned on or off. By default, it is disabled to ensure that calls are always routed through **the sipgate app** and **sipgate app for iOS/Android**.

If you want to enable **Offline Routing**, only the sipgate App should be used. If the **Offline behavior** cannot be activated, **the sipgate app for iOS/Android** might still be connected. In this case, please contact sipgate support to remove the mobile device.

If you haven't already installed it, you can download it from the **App Store**.
