How to Add a VoIP/SIP Device

Adding a VoIP/SIP device to your Number People account is quick and simple and can be done at any time through your online customer portal. If you selected to answer calls via VoIP during sign-up, a VoIP user will already have been added to your account automatically, free for the first month.

To get started, just log in to your dashboard at https://my.numberpeople.co.uk/sips and click on “Set up my device”. You’ll be guided through the setup process step by step.

You can use your VoIP user with a wide range of devices, including:

  • Our Cloud Softphone mobile app

  • A VoIP desk phone or handset

  • A VoIP ATA box (to use a standard landline phone over VoIP)

Need help getting set up? Use the live chat on our website for instant support, or if you require a more technical or bespoke configuration, our customer care team is available for premium support (please note this may incur a charge).
