500Server Internal ErrorError 500 is a registration error at the SIP server, usually caused by an internal conflict within the device. Please reset your device to factory settings via the "System Settings" menu and reconfigure it. If your box does not have the latest firmware installed, we also recommend performing a firmware update.
503Service UnavailableError 503 indicates that the server or gateway is unable to process the request. This is usually caused by overload or maintenance issues.

Message "This account is not valid"

This message appears when the user ID has not been entered correctly. The user ID corresponds to the phone number including the country code.

  • sipcall numbers: 41xxxxxxxx (e.g., 41411234567)
note

The user ID must be entered exactly as shown in the customer portal (within the "SIP-Data" card).

Message "This call is not covered by your tariff plan"

The error message "This call is not covered by your tariff plan" may be due to the following reasons:

  1. The account does not have enough credit for the desired call. In this case, a top-up is required.
  2. The dialed number was entered in an unsupported format. Valid formats include 032xxxxxxx for national calls or 004132xxxxxxx for international calls. The canonical format +4132xxxxxxx is not supported.
  3. The dialed number is not supported by sipcall. International service numbers and premium-rate numbers are generally excluded.

Message "This password is not valid"

The message "this password is not valid" after the connection has been established indicates that an incorrect password was used during the device configuration.
Please note that the password must not be confused with the customer portal password.
It is recommended to copy and paste the password into the device settings to avoid input errors.

note

You can find the required password in the customer portal under "Phone numbers" -> "Phone number overview" by clicking on the desired number (within the "SIP-Data" card).
