What are local IP phone credentials?

You can use your Swisscom fixed network number on SIP-enabled external devices or appropriate software using the “Local IP phone credentials” function (max. 10 connections). The SIP standard (Session Initiation Protocol) is a communications protocol used predominantly in Internet telephony (VoIP).

The SIP phone must be connected to the Internet-Box in your home. The devices in question need to be configured correctly to use this function. Contact our chargeable support service for personal advice and assistance.
