I found Zoiper easy to set up. However, after using it for about a month, I missed several calls. When I checked with my SIP provider, I discovered that incoming calls were being cancelled automatically—without ever ringing on my device. Even more frustrating, I occasionally failed to receive SMS messages. I only realised this when I got email alerts from my provider, which confirmed that messages had been sent but never reached me through the app.
Reviews for Zoiper IAX SIP VOIP Softphone
← Back to Zoiper IAX SIP VOIP SoftphoneAmateurish. No quality control. Cannot make outgoing calls. Debug log shows there is a bug in the logic of ParseBuffer.hxx.
Great... to use with voip ... can be anywhere and receive calls ... only problem sometimes cannot cut call or exit app... then have to shut down phone
works okay . call record (which just tells your server is a feature). like... app makers need to live so in a way I get it but at the same time VoIP has been around forever and it's kinda annoying having random features disabled.
Seems fine, used to use GS Wave until they closed it down. I can just about configure it to work on WiFi and mobile data with sipgate but it is never straightforward. A SIP client that runs self-tests and provides configuration profiles for each network would be the holy grail.
It has been working fine for months, but now the setup got corrupted and character rewriting is no longer available. Also, I can't seem to update to a newer version. Version 5 is available but when I delete my installation and re-download I get version 2.25.10. I was very happy with Zoiper, but now very unhappy.
the problem isn't that the app doesn't work, the problem is it's a huge data and battery drain, even when I didn't use it once in a month it used 4 gigs of cell data before the month was over, with no use, with data saver enabled and it used more battery than pandora which I listen to daily for 2 to sometimes 12 hours on late nights. how does that work out?
This app no longer works reliably. On most calls, people can't hear me. I contacted the developer, and their only solution was subscribing to their push service ($1/month). I've since bought Acrobits softphone, which has push built in with no ongoing fee. Why can't you do it this way, Zoiper, and make it a one-time upgrade?
I've run Zoiper on Windows and Android with both FreePBX with pretty good results. It's easy to setup, responsive, and isn't a terrible battery hog. It handles hand-off (Wifi to Cellular) pretty gracefully while on a call and supports a wide range of codecs. I briefly trialed the Sibscription version only to be told the features I wanted/needed were only available with an ADDITIONAL premium subscription. I went back to FREE. I had to un/reinstall after the trial to get it working again.
Intermittently fails to register with the voip service ( Phone booth). Exiting the app and relaunching does not help. Have to reboot the pixel2 phone and the app will register and may give a few hours of service before it fails again. I have changed the rating to 3 stars from 1. the updated app stays connected to the VOIP but sometimes incoming calls dont ring on the phone.
Nice app very reliable. However hands free is broken when voice dialing. Must select network on phone to use to place call even when there is only one network available. Would change rating to five if there were a way to be able to make a completely hands free call when on blue tooth in my vehicle. ----- Tried new app, changing rating to 1, will not use an app that will not allow the change of a disgusting color scheme without paying money.
The app works well for me 90% of the time. My only feature request/improvement would be that it be more aggressive in attempting to re-register/re-connect after network changes. Many times the app is stuck at the "Registering..." status. If I exit the app and say no to "Do I want to continue receiving calls?" then re-open the app it'll re-register immediately.
It worked just fine until I signed up for the premium then it stopped working. It started timing out and it couldn't register. Edit: Upgrading to premium enabled a feature called "push proxy" which broke my SIP connection and I can't answer incoming calls without that feature. So, bottom line, free version works for me and premium doesn't. I had to install under a different google account to disable the premium. Update: support helped me to get it working. Maybe I'll feel differently after I've used it for a while but, for now, it's 3 stars because I think that an upgrade(especially a paid upgrade) shouldn't break a working configuration. The worst thing, for me, is that it changed the settings and, as far as I could tell, didn't tell me what settings had been changed.
This app is WAS amazing! I was using it for my VoIP number, and it worked flawlessly in the past. I even used to have an older paid version of Zoiper. I would upgrade to the new pro version, if I could get Zoiper to receive incoming calls. I am using android 13, and what's most frustrating is that the instructions are either not helpful or they refer to settings that don't exist on my Galaxy 23+ phone. Make the setup easier for non-techies and I will give five stars and buy the new pro version.
Used to work fine, now it doesn't. I generally get a ring in my phone through the app, but now there is NO WAY TO ANSWER THE CALL! My phone rings, I know it's the app, but no popup or notifications on the screen. I've tried to quickly open the app when a call is coming in but there's still no indication or way to answer! I was going to upgrade to get more reliable calls, but I don't think that would affect this issue.
This app use to work well, but now it will not register...when it does, it doesn't stay registered for long, and either disconnects or stays in a constant state of registering. I have to close and restart the app for it to register. I use this for my business and pay for the pro version, annual fee. This has become completely unreliable. If the issue can not be fixed I will be forced to cancel my subscription and seek a better soft phone elsewhere. I don't know what changed, but it's worthless.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with Zoiper. It's stable, and the call quality is usually pretty good. It usually runs reliably in the background on my OnePlus 7 Pro and doesn't seem to have a significant negative impact on battery life. Phone calls come through reliably even when I haven't used the app in a while. Overall the app has been stable, and I'm satisfied. I haven't had a good reason to look for another SIP client. Feature rich for those that require advanced setting control for those who need it, supports TLS encryption for calls which is a plus for me. The only problem that I have is that it doesn't seem to launch the Zoiper app/service when the phone restarts even though I've selected the option within the app to have it do so. I have to manually open the app at least once. Annoying when this causes you to miss a call, but after you launch the app it seems fine and stays connected.
Try the free app but do not spend any money on this product. The lite version worked poorly for me so I spent the money to get more features - big mistake. It never would work to make a phone call again once upgraded. I was out of country and could not resolve the incident reported through their support team within the time we were traveling (just over a week) so I gave up on this product. If your looking for a Softphone app keep looking. spend a little more money for magicjack and use their Softphone solution, at least it worked.
I had zoiper for a long time. I had a problem that with push notifications paid for an enabled, the app would restart in a few minutes and would rapidly drain my battery (if I wanted incoming calls). I talked to support about it and they said it is because of server settings and they couldn't do anything. I switched to another voip client and the problem went away so it must be something about the client. Also, competition doesn't have a subscription for the push service but a one-time payment.
Well I would love to give the app 5 stars for sure it has everything and works well. HOWEVER on my Galaxy s8 which it may be an issue specific too, the caller ID for the incoming call is darn near illegible! It goes off the screen. If it's a cell phone without a name all you will see is wireless caller (21..... I mean there is no setting to change it. I have to miss the call and check the call log to see the number. Pretty much this is a deal breaker to me. I downloaded grandstream waze also free
