Contacts with photos, on every device
Save the people you call with a photo, numbers, email, company and notes. They sync to your Mac, iPhone and iPad, and every call shows who it is.
Shown with demo accounts and sample numbers.
What a contact holds
- A photo, cropped to a square and shown in lists, on the call screen, in the incoming-call window and in Recents.
- Phone numbers and email addresses with labels such as mobile, work and main.
- Name, company and notes, and a favorite flag that keeps people at the top.
Names and photos on every call
When a call comes in or goes out, SIPdia looks the number up in your contacts. A match shows the contact's name and photo on the call screen, in the floating incoming-call window on the Mac, and in Recents. From Recents you can open the contact, or add a number that isn't saved yet.
Synced through your SIPdia account
Contacts are tied to the SIPdia account you sign in with, not to a SIP account. Add someone on the Mac and they appear on your iPhone and iPad. Each device keeps its own copy, so caller names still show without a network, and changes catch up when the device is back online. See the privacy policy for exactly what the server keeps.
Import and export (Premium)
- From the Contacts app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. SIPdia asks for access the first time and keeps only what it imports.
- vCard files, versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0, from Apple Contacts, Google Contacts or Outlook.
- CSV files with the columns Google Contacts and Outlook use.
- Export to vCard 3.0, with photos, or to CSV for a spreadsheet.
Good to know
- SIPdia's contacts are separate from your PBX's phone book; it does not read LDAP directories.
- Contacts need you to be signed in to SIPdia, because that is how they sync.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my SIPdia contacts stored?
On every device where you sign in to SIPdia, and on the SIPdia server with your account, so a contact added on the Mac appears on your iPhone and iPad. If the same contact changes on two devices, the newest change wins.
Does SIPdia read my iPhone or Mac address book?
Only when you choose Import from Contacts, and it keeps only the contacts it imports. Otherwise SIPdia uses its own contact list. Importing is part of SIPdia Premium.
Which files can I import and export?
Import reads vCard files (versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0, from Apple Contacts, Google Contacts or Outlook) and CSV files with the columns Google Contacts and Outlook use. Export writes vCard 3.0 with photos, or CSV. Import and export need SIPdia Premium.
How does SIPdia match a caller to a contact?
By phone number. Long numbers match on their last digits, so a contact saved as 01711000000 is found for a call from +880 1711-000000. Short PBX extensions match exactly.
Do I need Premium for contacts?
No. Adding, editing, photos, favorites and sync across your devices are in the free plan. Only importing and exporting need Premium.
How do I delete a contact everywhere?
Delete it on any of your devices; the deletion syncs to the others. Delete Account in Settings removes all your SIPdia contacts from the server and the device.
