There are multiple ways that you can setup your 3CX on your mobile device which will provide you with full access to all functionality of your hosted phone system. Please see below for the 2 methods you can use to provision your extension to your device:

Please choose the ‘Allow’ and ‘OK’ options if these prompts appear. The app will also request read-only access to the contacts on your mobile device but you can deny this If required
4. You will now be requested to ‘Scan QR Code’. Select this option and the your device camera will open
5. To get your QR code, you will have login details to your account, which are available in the ‘3CX Welcome email’ you had received previously (speak with our team if you no longer have access to this and we can resend them)
