• Off: If a Wi-Fi connection is not available, SIP and XMPP services are unregistered; you will not receive any messages or notifications and will not be able to place or receive calls.

You can allow or disallow VoIP calls using a separate setting Settings > Preferences > Allow VoIP Calls.

Data charges with your mobile carrier may apply.

Appears on iPhone or iPads running iOS 10+. When on, Bria enables CallKit native call integration and users see the following differences:

• Easier to answer Bria calls when a device is locked. No need to rely on a small notification on the unlock screen.

• A native incoming call no longer takes over during a Bria call; it is presented as Call Waiting. You now have a chance to tell the person that you have to pick up another call.

• You can switch between a native call and a Briacall.

• All Bria calls are captured in the native dialer call history, with the option to click on an entry to call back using Bria.

• Improved Bluetooth headset support. You can answer and hang up Bria using the button on your Bluetooth device.

• CarPlay support.

Controls the behavior of the incoming Bria call prompt (when Bria is in the background):

• On: You can immediately answer the call by tapping on the alert.

• Off: After tapping the alert, you have a choice to answer or decline the call.

Controls the behavior of the missed call prompt (when you receive a call when Bria is in the background):

• On: Bria shows a missed call notification when Bria is in the background.

• Off: Bria does not send a missed call notification.

Controls what name appears in caller ID for an incoming call.

• On (default): Bria tries to match incoming calls with Contacts or Roster. If a match is found, Bria uses the contact's Display name in the caller ID.

• Off: Bria uses the information in the SIP header for the caller ID.

When Native Integration is enabled in Settings > Preferences – Call Handling, all numbers other than Softphone use the contact's Display Name for the incoming caller ID if there is a matching contact, even though when the Match Contacts for Caller-Id setting is turned OFF. This is a limitation due to CallKit; once you answer the call, Bria uses the information in the SIP header for the caller ID as you set in the preference.

Controls what information appears in incoming call notifications. This setting helps you identify incoming calls if you receive many calls with the same label such as UNKNOWN.

There is another setting for adding a SIP account name in notifications; see Display Account Name.

• On: The incoming call panel shows the phone number/SIP username followed by the SIP display name. Ex: 6045551234 Kokila

  For the number/SIP username, Bria takes the value from P-Asserted-Identity by default.

• Off (default): The incoming call panel shows only the SIP display name. Ex: Kokila

Controls whether call waiting is enabled or disabled.

• On: Call waiting is disabled and while on another call, incoming calls ring busy to the caller or go straight to voice mail if you have voice mail configured.

  Off: Call waiting is enabled and while on another call, you are alerted of the incoming call.

• On: Send all incoming calls to a specific number if Bria is enabled and registered.

  This setting controls all the SIP accounts in the softphone client. If you have multiple SIP accounts and want to forward calls in only one of the SIP accounts, use the per-account call forwarding settings. When both global and per-account call forwarding settings are enabled, the global one takes precedence; all incoming calls on all the SIP accounts will be forwarded to a specified number.

Controls whether letters entered in the dial pad are converted to numbers.

• On: Letters entered in the dial pad are converted to numbers.

• Off: Letters entered in the dial pad are not converted to numbers.

Controls whether anonymous calling is enabled.

• On: Remote parties do not see your name or number on their phone.

• Off: Remote parties see your caller ID information.

Changes the way Bria displays the image of a contact during a call. Add an image to a contact in the Contact tab of the resource panel. Make sure your images are smaller in size so they display faster.

• Don’t Show: Bria does not show an image of the remote party during a call.

• Full Screen: Bria shows an image of the remote party in the full screen a call.

• Small Avatar: Bria shows a small photo of the remote party next to their name during a call.

Appears when Settings > Preferences> Native Integration is off.

When you receive a native call while already in a Bria call, the Bria call is put on hold. You will not be able to speak to the remote party in the Bria call until you answer or decline the incoming mobile call. Bria can play feedback to the person who is put on hold without any notice.

• Silence: Bria plays nothing.

• Tones: Bria plays beeps every 5 seconds to the person on hold.

• Announcement: Bria plays an audio message to the remote party on hold in English, “Your call has been interrupted by an incoming mobile call. Please wait for the other party to return.”

• On: Bria automatically records all calls made with Bria.

• Off (default): Bria records a call only if you tap manually to start recording during a call.

Select either a tone or an announcement to play to the remote party when you start or resume recording a call. The app plays a tone by default. When an announcement is selected, the remote party hears "This call is being recorded."

Enable this setting to instruct Bria to automatically delete recording files under certain seconds. Enter a value in seconds. Setting 0 means the app does not delete recordings using the rule.

When IM, SMS, and/or video are enabled, this setting is ignored. Bria displays a prompt to choose an option.
