Zoiper is always working even if the screen is blocked. This feature is really important to avoid missing phone calls. Even though it's essential, not every softphone has it. That is an important reason to choose Zoiper.
If you open de app and switch to another app or to the main menu of your smartphone Zoiper will keep running in the background. Even when your smartphone is blocked.
*This feature is not available with Windows Phone.

5. Problem solving with Zoiper on iPhone and Android
5.1 Zoiper not ringing on iPhone and Android
If Zoiper it's not ringing it could be due to the following issues:
- Zoiper need permission of the phone to notify incoming phone calls
iPhone: Settings of the iPhone → Notification center → Include → Select Zoiper → Enable sound
- You did not activate it to work on background
If it's not ringing only when the app Zoiper is not visible but it rings when you are on it, then the problem is that you have to enable it to make it work on background:
5.2 Zoiper not registering
If Zoiper is not registering in Android, iPhone or on your computer the most probable reason is that you've entered the incorrect data or that there is a misspeling error.
As most times is difficult to see because is a minimum mistake (such as an "n" instead of an "m", or a change of order of to letters, I recommend you to start over again.
If the problem persist and you still can not register Zoiper, try deleting the app and downloading it again.
