# How do I set up a VoIP extension?

You can set up phones without assigning them to a specific User, and instead assign them to specific locations. Keep in mind that the VoIP extension does not have an event log. Each VoIP extension costs £ 4.95 per month.

#### How it works

In Accountmanagement, go to **Telephony,** then **Additional VoIP devices** and click the button: **+Add.**

Enter any name for the extension and click **Add device**.

Now, click on the new extension and go to **SIP Credentials**. Here you'll find the credentials needed to enter to an existing VoIP phone.

If the new endpoint should be reachable under a phone number, click **Add Phone Number** under Routing. This completes the VoIP extension setup.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://teamhelp.sipgate.co.uk/use-sipgate/telephony/how-do-i-set-up-a-voip-extension.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
