Troubleshooting Guide

Solve common issues with QTvoice and get your phone system working smoothly.

Quick System Test

Before diving into specific issues, try this quick test to verify your QTvoice system is working properly:

  1. Open the Sangoma Connect app and verify you're logged in
  2. Make a test call to your personal phone
  3. Call your QTvoice number from another phone
  4. Check that you can access your customer portal online

Poor Call Quality Issues

Call quality problems are usually related to your internet connection or network interference. Here's how to diagnose and fix them:

Step 1: Check Your Internet Connection

  • Test your internet speed (minimum 1 Mbps up/down recommended)
  • Try switching between WiFi and cellular data
  • Move closer to your WiFi router
  • Restart your router/modem if issues persist

Step 2: Identify Interference Sources

Common Interference Causes:

  • Other devices using heavy bandwidth (streaming, downloads)
  • Multiple people on the same WiFi network
  • Bluetooth devices or wireless headphones
  • Microwave ovens or other 2.4GHz devices
  • Physical barriers between you and the router

Step 3: Optimize Your Network

  • Use 5GHz WiFi instead of 2.4GHz if available
  • Close unnecessary apps and browser tabs
  • Prioritize voice traffic in your router settings (QoS)
  • Consider upgrading your internet plan if consistently slow

Not Receiving Incoming Calls

Check App Permissions

Android Settings:
  1. Go to Settings → Apps → Sangoma Connect
  2. Enable "Microphone" permission
  3. Allow "Display over other apps"
  4. Disable battery optimization for the app

Test Your Setup

  1. Make sure the app shows "Connected" or "Registered" status
  2. Have someone call your QTvoice number while you watch the app
  3. Check if you receive a push notification even if the call doesn't ring
  4. Try calling from different types of phones (mobile, landline)

Advanced Troubleshooting

  • Log out and back into the app
  • Check if Do Not Disturb mode is enabled
  • Verify your phone isn't in airplane mode or low power mode

Pro Tip: Keep the Sangoma Connect app running in the background. Closing it completely may prevent incoming calls from reaching you.

  • Confirm your business information was submitted correctly

Check Usage Limits

  • Review your subscription plan's SMS limits
  • Check if you've exceeded your daily or monthly SMS quota
  • Log into your customer portal to view SMS usage
  • Consider upgrading your plan for higher SMS volume

Message Content Issues

  • Avoid spam-like language or excessive promotional content
  • Don't include suspicious links or attachments
  • Keep messages under 160 characters when possible
  • Ensure recipients haven't blocked your number
