Setting up MicroSIP soft phone

Setting up MicroSIP soft phone

Especially in the case of troubleshooting, it may be useful to setup MicroSIP. This guide describes how to do so.

MicroSIP is written for the Windows operating system. It may be possible to run the tool on MacOS or Linux via Wine, but this functionality has not been validated by Sharpen.

If using MacOS or Linux, we recommend Zoiper as an alternative.

If running for perpetual commercial use, please understand the tool will not be supported by Sharpen.
