Frequently asked questions
The questions we get most often, answered in full. If yours is not here, write to us: we answer everyone.
What do I need to use VoIP?
A stable internet connection and a device that speaks SIP: a desk IP phone, a softphone on your computer or mobile, or the portal's webphone, which runs in the browser with nothing to install. You do not need to buy a PBX, and if you already have one it connects to our SIP trunk.
Can I call showing my current number?
Yes. You can set one of your own numbers as caller ID: first we ask you to prove it is yours, through an automatic verification. From then on whoever you call sees your usual number.
What does it cost? Is there a monthly fee?
There is no fee to start: you pay for traffic. Calls are billed by the second from the first second, and the destinations in the price list have no connection fee. Only the extra services have a stated price, such as recording (€0.02 per call) or additional simultaneous channels (€0.50 per month).
Why don't you sell bundles of minutes?
Because a flat bundle is one multiplication: the per-minute cost times the minutes included. Use less and you overpaid; use more and you pay the excess anyway. With prepaid credit you pay for the seconds you actually talk and keep the rest.
How many calls can I make at the same time?
As many as you need: simultaneous channels are set per SIP account, from one to over a hundred. They go up and down whenever you want, without reconfiguring the phones.
Can I receive calls?
Yes, by buying a number in the portal: geographic, national or mobile numbers in the main countries. Inbound calls have no per-minute cost, and for each number you decide where it rings.
Can calls be recorded?
Yes, by switching recording on for a single account or a single number. Recordings are played and downloaded from the call report and cost €0.02 per call.
How do I pay?
With prepaid credit: you top up by card, PayPal or bank transfer and the balance goes down as you call. No surprise charges and no minimum term.
Can I try before paying?
Yes. Signing up is free and we credit your account with trial credit so you can make your test calls: it is there for you to find out whether the service fits.
Can I resell the service under my own brand?
Yes: we open the platform to companies that want to become providers, with their own portal, domain and price lists. That is what we call white label, and it starts with a demo with one of our operators.
Can I call emergency numbers?
No. Vohippo does not replace the traditional telephone line and cannot be used to call emergency numbers: keep that in mind when you decide how to organise the telephony of your premises.
Let's talk: the demo is given by a person, not a video
One of our operators walks you through the portal live and answers the questions that matter for your case. If you would rather write, we are on WhatsApp.
