How to Install Bria Mobile on an Android 

>>Watch this video on how to install Bria Mobile on an Android phone<<

Step One: Get Credentials from Press8

Go to the Press8 Help Desk and add a ticket asking to have a new Bria Mobile extension created for a current user on your account.  Press8 Support will email you the following information: 1) Username & 2) Password.

Step Two: Install Bria Mobile

This is what the Bria for Android looks like in the Google Play Store:

Once you open the installed APP, you will be requested for permissions:

Click on "SHOW."                                   "Allow"

The application will be charged to your app store account for $1/mth or $10/yr.  You will be presented with this free trial screen:

Click "NEXT",                            then "NEXT" again,             and select which payment plan.

Click "SHOW" and select your preference, then "SHOW" for mic, then "Allow" to record audio.

You will then be asked to participate in the CounterPath Product Improvement Program. 

Then "DECLINE" or "ACCEPT," "IMPORT" or "NO, THANKS"        If "IMPORT," then "Allow" for photos, etc.

You will now be prompted to set up your Press8 telephone account.

Press "+" and then scroll down to "Press8 Telecom" and select.  Account Details will appear to enter the specific details received from Press8 support and enter as follows:

Account Name: Your extension (i.e. Ext 302)

Display as:  What you want for your caller-id (i.e. your full name)

Username:  Given to you by Press8 support, a 7-digit number

Password: Given to you by Press8 support

Then "Save" in the upper right corner to save your settings.  

Bria Mobile offers a Push Service that allows the App to sleep until woken up by an inbound call or selecting the use of the app on your phone.  This greatly reduces battery drain.  When offered to accept this service, click on "I AGREE."

Click "I AGREE,"                         Then "SHOW"                    then "ALLOW" (Bria turns off)

You have completed the setup.  Your Bria Mobile App is ready to be used on your Android softphone.
