Using Softphones with Voxhub
Software phones are a great tool for the road warrior or for occasional work outside the office. With a headset and a computer you can make and recieve calls from anywhere with a reliable Internet connection.

There are many SIP based softphones for use on PC and Mac such as X-Lite and Bria from CounterPath that work extremely well with Voxhub.

Additionally, it is possible to use a mobile phone such as iPhone or Android based phone together with a VoIP softphone app.
