Zoiper: Windows vs. iOS
-
Separate extensions is the easiest for everything. For those that have both softphones and deskphones we do a separate extension and then do follow me from one ext to the other. So that they both can ring if you are away from your desk etc.

I use LinPhone on my iOS device, FYI.
I had issues with it a year ago and went with zoiper.
I should try it again. -
If you're having a ringing problem still, check your firewall.

In this case it was likely due to registering the same extension twice. The PBX did not know which one to respond to.

I like the older 3cx softphone for windows that supports asterisk better than zoiper. I've had odd issues with zoiper not liking my sound card and wouldn't play sounds through the speakers so it would only ring in the usb headset.

That one was great while it lasted.

I'll have to look at that one as well. -
Can you change the main extension number to a call group, give the "Handsets" their own extensions and then add all the "handsets" into the call group?
They would all ring at once though, that might get annoying... what about a hunt group?
Ring handset A --> no answer --> ring handset B --> no answer --> ring handset C --> no answer --> voicemail. -
It's entirtely possible that I have no idea what I'm talking about and have confused two topics

Ring handset A --> no answer --> ring handset B --> no answer --> ring handset C --> no answer --> voicemail.Yes, that is what one of the other basically said above.
You can setup ring or hunt, your choice. If you like the feature, but are "normally" at your desk, you can setup a ring all after delay on the main line. so it only rings out after the main ext does not pick up.
-
Let me restate. You do not want it to just be a ring group. You want your extension to be an extension. You lose features otherwise.
Adding Follow-Me settings basically turns your extension into an extension + ring group.

Currently until I learn a bit more about the PBX, I haven't a clue.. but I'll be starting some of that this next week I believe. Not looking to break it (so to speak) just not be tied to my desk if I don't have to.. and with a softphone - won't be as much.
-
For the record, I use Zoiper on iOS all the time and love it.
-
@JaredBusch I used zoiper as well. loved it. hated linphone.
-
I'll have to install Zoiper and see how it does on my iPhone.
