You can keep more than one SIP account in SessionTalk. Open Accounts, select the plus button and choose SIP to add another one.
Give the second account a clear name. We’re using Tutorial office.
Enter that account’s username and password. Use the details for this account, which may differ from your first one.
Enter its domain and any advanced settings required by your provider. The account-setup lesson covers those choices in detail.
Switch on Enabled so the new account can register.
Save the account and check that both accounts show Registered.
The Dial-out account menu chooses which account makes outgoing calls. Open it and select Tutorial office. Its extension now appears at the top of the app.
Open Phone and enter a number. This test call will use the account we’ve just selected.
Select the green call button. Our test phone receives the call from extension two thousand and eleven, confirming that Tutorial office is being used.
End the call when you’re finished.
