Initial Setup
Getting Ready
Once you have installed Vonage Business Mobile onto your iPhone device, make sure you have set up Wi-Fi and Cellular correctly in
your iPhone.
Wi-Fi & Cellular Settings
• Set up Wi-Fi: from the main iPhone screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn on the Wi-Fi field. The Choose a Network panel will be populated with access points. Tap to choose an access point and
wait for the item to show a check mark (indicating that you are connected).
• Set up Cellular (3G/4G):
• On iOS 6, tap Settings > General > Network. Toggle on Cellular Data.
• On iOS 7, tap Settings > Cellular > Toggle on Cellular Data.
• Set up Roaming Options:
• On iOS 6, tap Settings > General > Network. Toggle on Data Roaming.

TIP: Avoid data roaming charges by your cellular carrier when outside the US by turning off data roaming and using Wi-Fi
hotspots instead of your cellular network. Since your calls are charged under your Vonage calling plan, you won’t have
international call roaming charges to deal with.
Siri
• The Siri option Raise to Speak should be disabled while using this app. When enabled, the feature may interfere with
audio. To disable, go to Settings > General > Siri > Raise to Speak > Toggle > off

4. Turn on Incoming VoIP Calls

Initial Setup
VoIP Calling - Softphone Functionality
Vonage Business Mobile is a softphone allowing users to make and receive calls using their Vonage Business account. When using
softphone functionality, the Caller ID associated with the Vonage account will display. To use softphone features, a Wi-Fi or 3G/4G
cellular data connection is required to establish a SIP connection.
• See the Dialer page 22 of this guide for instructions on establishing VoIP (SIP) connectivity.
Important VoIP over 3G/4G Notice: Some mobile network operators may prohibit or restrict the use of Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) functionality over their network, such as the use of VoIP telephony over a cellular network, and may also
impose additional fees, or other charges in connection with VoIP. Be sure to check the terms of your agreement with
your cellular phone carrier. Vonage will not be held liable for any charges, fees, or liability imposed by your cellular/mobile
carrier for use with Vonage Business Mobile service.

Non-VoIP Calling - Call Back Feature
If a data connection is not available, outbound calls can still be made using Vonage Business Mobile. When dialing a number,

Business account will display.
Vonage will trigger the smart phone to ring and dial out to the destination party, using the cellular network. When this feature is used,
the following experience occurs in the application.
