Hoiio Blog

Hoiio is known as the best SIP trunk provider in Asia because of its easiness to use and configure to most of the IP PBX or IP Phones: 3CX, Asterisk, Grandstream, Cisco, FreePBX, Avaya etc.

We have shown how you can configure a 3CX soft phone on Windows PC before. This blog post is to guide you on how to configure a Yealink SIP-T20 IP Phone with Hoiio SIP.

Configuring Hoiio SIP on Yealink SIP-T20 IP Phone

Step 1: Prepare Hoiio SIP details

Login to Hoiio and get  SIP username, password, and incoming number ready. If you have not subscribed to Hoiio SIP, try it now with 30-day money-back guarantee.

Step 2: Configure a new SIP accounts on the SIP-T20 phone

Click the “Menu” button

Next, choose “Settings”

Choose “Advanced”

Enter your admin password, the default password is “admin”

Next, you can choose line 1 or line 2 to be configured. After choosing the line, enter the follow information:

• Label: <anything you want>
• Display name: <anything you want, can be your incoming number>
• Register name = <Hoiio SIP User name>
• Username = <Hoiio SIP User name>
• Password = <Hoiio SIP password>
• Sip server = siptrunk.hoiio.com
• Outbound = enable (if you want to make outgoing call)
• Outbound host = siptrunk.hoiio.com

• Auto answer = disable

Press “Ok” then you are done. After a few seconds you should see the line shows “Registered”.

To make outgoing call, follow this standard: <country code> + <area code> + <destination>. For example, you are making a call to a number in Singapore 94392633. On your phone, key in: 6594392633 then press “Ok”.

Hoiio SIP is the best SIP trunk provider in Asia. For only SGD 9.99 /month, you can connect IP-PBX, ATA, or soft phones to Hoiio infrastructure, get incoming numbers in various countries, and enjoy unlimited concurrent calls.

Many business owners have told us that telecom companies offer rigid mobile plans that often leads to incurring extra costs. Not only do corporate accounts require a contract  for X number of years, procuring mobile handsets can be expensive and sometimes troublesome for employees who carry both their work and personal phones about.

We thought that since Hoiio’s suite of applications were working so well for individuals, with cost savings up to 70%, why not provide a solution tailor-made for the workplace?

A solution that is flexible, convenient and cost effective.

So we came up with Hoiio Business.

Perks

With Hoiio Business, admins can easily create Hoiio accounts for employees and manage their subscriptions (Direct Line, Main Line, Fax, Conference etc) from a web-based tool. Get a Direct Line number for each member in your team and allocate a monthly credit limit. With a centralised payment system, all usage by employees will be charged to the Business Account admin. Auto top up of credits can be enabled for a hassle free Hoiio experience.

You no longer need to run to any service provider to get lines set up. Hoiio’s services can be activated within minutes from your desktop and terminated when no longer needed.

Call forwarding is available with Hoiio Direct Line so employees will only need to carry one phone from now on. Hate to be disturbed after working hours? Simply set the time so you get calls forwarded to your personal line only when you want to.

Spread the love

Hoiio Business will completely change the way you make calls in the office. If you are already one of us, you know the perks so do us a favour and share the love with your colleagues.

If you have not given Hoiio a try, you really should not say no to good and affordable calls.

Most of you might be familiar with our Direct Line app – the only number you need on your name card. Calls will be forwarded to the number you specify so you will always remain contactable while keeping your location and personal numbers private.

For the serious globetrotters, we realised call forwarding to only one number was not very convenient. For the cost-conscious seasoned travellers, they would purchase a local number to prevent incurring expensive roaming charges. At the rates and urgency at which people are crossing borders, we don’t always have time to inform people of the alternative number to reach us at or switch the call forwarding number for Hoiio’s Direct Line in time.

So, the engineers at Hoiio came up with another simple yet brilliant idea.

Ring All

With Ring All, calls will be forwarded to ALL numbers indicated in the user portal simultaneously.

• Forward calls to a maximum of 6 numbers.
• Choose between Yes, No or During Office Hours to select the numbers you want calls forwarded to and when you want them (time zone specific).
• If you would like some work-life balance, check the Rest Day box and you will not be disturbed.

I know we can’t be at two places at the same time, but we can help people reach us easily wherever we are. :)

In the past, Hoiio rewarded its users with savings from the low subscription rates and saved you the hassle because of our easy set up. So the Hoiio Team asked ourselves what can be better than that?

The Hoiio team sat down for a rethink on how we can reward our valued customers. the very people who have been with us all this while in our journey of promoting the cloud communications platform.  So this time around, we are not going to give you a discount or a rebate. We will reward you MORE by paying you in CASH for every new subscriber to Hoiio services (applies to Hoiio Main line, Direct Line, S.I.P & Fax only) that you refer to us. Furthermore to maximize your rewards, we will not only reward you once off but it will be a recurring 20% commission on the value of the subscription that the person whom you refered to subscribes. When we say “recurring” we will continue to pay your commission for as long as the person whom you refered to continues their subscription.

The reward in a nutshell

We also believe in rewarding those who want to grow with us. So the more you refer the more you will earn through this program. Build a large pool of referrals and have a steady stream of passive income from the attractive recurring commissions that you could potentially receive. As a sweetener, we will also reward the people who subscribe to Hoiio through your referrals with a special reward of up to 2 hours free usage which is not offered anywhere else.

Referral through this program is easy. All you have to do is to follow these 5 simple steps! You are also able to track your referrals and earnings with our easy to use tracking system. So what are you waiting for? Start earning now!
