If you’d like to create an extension with us, have your account admin give us a call at (718) 942-9990.

By default, the audio devices for input and output are set to the system’s defaults. For example, if your desktop’s default audio device is a monitor, then Mongotel Softphone will use that monitor as the default input and output. Here are the steps to change that within the app: Click the settings icon. Click “Sound.” Ensure the correct devices are selected for “Speaker,” “Microphone,” and “Ringtone audio output.” Scroll down and ensure the volume is high enough to hear.

If you can’t log in to Mongotel.com either, try changing your password: Click “LOGIN” on the website. Click “Forgot Password.” Follow the on-screen prompts. Choose a password that’s hard to crack but easy to remember. Attempt to log in to the app again.

| title | (All Platforms) Why do my quick dials keep disappearing? |
|---|
|
Quick dials are saved locally for as long as you remain signed in. You can turn off or restart your device and close the app without fear of deleting your quick dials. But, if you sign out or reset your app (through the Settings menu), all locally saved data on the device will be removed. That includes your quick dials. If this is not what caused your quick dials to be removed, please connect with our Support team at (718) 942-9990. |
