SIP account and softphone configuration

A SIP account (Session Initiation Protocol account) is simply a digital phone line that lets you make and receive phone calls over the internet instead of using traditional phone cables. It comes with a username, password, and host that allow your computer or smartphone to connect to a phone network.

Your Username (0000000000)
Your Password (111111)
Host (sip.telecomax.net)
and, in rare cases, Transport (UDP)

These details will be used for illustrative purposes in all further instructions. Please enter the details from your own SIP account instead.
