All your SIP accounts, one softphone
An office extension, a provider number for your business, a personal line: SIPdia registers them side by side and lets you pick who you call as.
Shown with demo accounts and sample numbers.
How multiple accounts work in SIPdia
Each account has its own server, transport, credentials and advanced settings, and registers independently. The Account page lists them with a status dot per account. When all of them are registered, you can:
- pick the outgoing account with the From picker on the dialpad;
- see on an incoming call, and later in Recents, which account it arrived on;
- keep separate feature codes, forwarding rules and Do Not Disturb per account;
- remove one account without touching the others. Its Keychain password is deleted with it.
Why people use more than one account
- Work and personal. An extension on the company PBX and a personal number from a provider, without two apps.
- Several companies or clients. Consultants and agencies who answer on behalf of more than one business.
- Resilience. A second provider account to fall back on when the first has trouble.
- Migration. Keep the old provider registered while the new one is tested.
Free plan and Premium
The free plan includes one account, the default one. Adding a second account prompts for SIPdia Premium, which removes the limit. Premium is bought through Apple and applies on every Mac, iPhone and iPad signed in to the same Apple Account. Prices appear on the pricing page once published.
Tips
- Give each account a clear display name; it shows in the From picker and in Recents.
- Most providers have no feature codes. Clear them for provider accounts so forwarding buttons do not dial codes the provider does not understand.
- If two accounts use different NAT behaviour, set STUN and ICE per account under Advanced.
Frequently asked questions
How many SIP accounts can SIPdia register?
The free plan registers one account, the default one. SIPdia Premium removes the limit; every enabled account registers at the same time.
How do I choose which account a call goes out from?
Use the From picker on the dialpad. Incoming calls and Recents show which account each call was on.
Can each account have its own forwarding and feature codes?
Yes. Feature codes, forwarding and Do Not Disturb are stored per account, so a PBX extension and a provider account can behave differently.
What happens to extra accounts if Premium ends?
They stay configured but show as Needs Premium and stop registering. The default account keeps working on the free plan.
