Mobile Softphone App on both iOS and Android available!

[gls101]

A couple of issues concerning Android smartphone…..not iOS phones:

First, it seems Acrobits is using “push notifications for incoming calls” using the Google cloud messaging service to wake up/open the app after it is closed in order save battery power. It’s great feature, but there’s no way to disable this feature within the app itself. Apparently, since the app is automatically “provisioned” for Voipo, the setting is not available to the end user. The result is the smartphone rings for all incoming calls regardless of whether the app is open or closed. There’s no way to stop incoming calls from ringing the smartphone unless you uninstall the app.

The push notifications are giving me fits, also on Android

I have the app installed on both of our cell phones, and if the home phone rings, one of the softphones starts to ring, and rings continuously, even after the home phone is answered. The only way to stop it is to hit either the "Dismiss" or "Reject" button on the app. The other cell app rings normally, and stops ringing when the home phone is answered. A method to disable push notifications on the app would be ideal for me.

Tim, is it acceptable to install the app on more than one cell phone? I don't want to run afoul of any TOS conditions.

Yes, as long as it's your household/normal usage...no problem.
