A basic guide for setup using a iPhone
Note: The Bria soft-phone application does have a small re-occurring cost for using this software and does include SIP voice codecs for optimal mobile data use scenarios.
Additionally, you will also need to know the device extension/login and password, and the PBX/SIP service you are connecting too.
Good reasons for using a soft-phone on mobile?
Generally, you will only use a soft-phone when a business/entity uses a managed PBX service.
Soft-phones are a good solution for mobile workers who want one handset like their own mobile phone for all calls, and quite often use hands-free kits and headsets to all receive cellular calls and desk-phone calls.
Advertised business numbers can then be call forwarded or transferred as per company policy/branding/customer-care without advertising mobile individual numbers
Minimise the operating costs of keeping mobile numbers alive/billing when staff numbers change over time. Small business has a habit of advertising mobile numbers only!
Internal conference calls are not restricted by external concurrent call limitations.
Managed/branded extension voicemail over individual mobile voicemail that may cross personal and business calls.
