Step 4: Enable VoIP Push (CallKit)

Go to Account > Advanced > VoIP Push:

  • Enable VoIP Push: ON
  • This is what makes calls ring even when your phone is locked

Step 5: Allow Microphone Access

iOS will prompt for microphone permission — tap Allow.

Step 6: Test Registration

You should see a green checkmark next to your account. Make a test call.

Troubleshooting

Calls not ringing when phone is locked: Ensure VoIP Push is enabled AND the app has notification permission in iOS Settings.
