here is how to set up free 3cx softphone

<< < (2/3) > >>

ianobi:
You do need to be running OBiAPP on your pc before you start the 3CX phone.

If I hit the "About" button on my 3CX phone I see:
3CXPhone ver. 6.0.26523.0

I also use PhonerLite mainly for testing as it has a good debugging function. It's a bit clunky, but works fine. Others have recommended Jitsi, but I have not had much success with that.

Any soft phone client needs OBiAPP to be running on the pc before it starts up.

sunmercury:
Thanks, ianobi. Of course I have ObiApp running on my PC. I cannot locate 3CXPhone ver. 6 anywhere. All the link seems to point to 3cxphone website, which only have their newest version (12) 3cx phone system. Version 12 seems to be overkill and too complicate for me (it asked me to setup PBX extension and more during startup). I tried to install the soft client only, but even though I can enter all the local IP & outbound proxy server, it still won't register. Checking 3cx website seems to indicate that 3cx phone system is required.

I probably abandon this attempt as I found out I can make call from the new google hangout easier and beyond May 15th :-)

Still thanks for your nice reply.

I installed obion for pc and 3cx softphone [ver 6.0.26523.0] a couple of years ago on a laptop running windows 8.
It worked fine.

A year or two later, I decided to test it, and see if it still works ok.
[It did not work at all, at first.. but then I realized I no longer had the original Obi 110 connected, and found the drop down box in Obitalk, that let me choose which Obi gateway I wanted to use]

I can only receive calls on the laptop from my obi network.

When I dial out on the softphone, I get a busy signal.
3cx debug shows
Video calls not allowed
Destination is busy

(video source is set to -none in preferences)

any ideas?

azrobert:
The OBion app is no longer supported.
It's not even available for download.
I have a copy of OBion, Ver 1.1.0(1848) and installed it on a Windows 7 machine with the Phonerlite softphone.
I got the opposite result.
I was able to call my OBi200 from OBion, but calls failed from the OBi200 to OBion.
I also tried to call it from my OBi110 and it failed.

If you have an OBi2xx, you can register the 3cx softphone directly to the OBi.
You would need a free SP trunk.
Otherwise, you can use a softphone that can call without registration, like the Phonerlite softphone.

dmpayne1957:
i can make outbound calls on my 3cx...but it does not ring on in-bound calls - is there a way to get the 3cx to answer in-bound calls?
