CSipSimple was a free softphone for Android devices. This softphone app has not been updated since November 30, 2014 and is no longer in the app stores (CSipSimple).

While it may still be working on some supported platforms (typically ARM32 processors), we cannot offer any guarantee about its compatibility or stability.

Issues and solutions

Forbidden 403

When you see this message and your account is marked in red, it is usually because either your Username or password are wrong. Access to your account's section, select it to edit and change/correct the Username and/or password, then save and check again.

Network not allowing incoming/outgoing calls

In some cases, when during "#First Run - Easy Configuration " are not selected the proper options, errors could occur during incoming and/or outgoing calls. If this is the case, you can check at:

Main Dial Path -> Configuration -> Settings -> Network -> Mark all for incoming and outgoing calls.

Audio Issues

Some audio issues are related with network speed, firewalls and usage, other are related with wrong audio codec selected. By default, CSIP Simple have selected codecs that we do not allow, please correct that in your settings:

Main Dial Path -> Configuration -> Settings -> Media -> Codecs -> Leave enabled only PCMU or GSM depending on your SIP account's settings.
