The Vodia Phone app is a free add-on that enables users to connect to their Vodia PBX accounts, providing an intuitive interface for managing contacts and call history. Utilizing WebRTC technology, the app allows VoIP calls over WiFi or 3G without additional costs, ensuring high audio quality for mobile communications. Key features include multi-call support, call transfer, DTMF sending and user presence indicators. It's important to note that while the app enhances mobile VoIP capabilities, it's not a substitute for emergency calls like 911, and users should ensure proper access to emergency services on their mobile devices. For enhanced security, a valid SSL certificate is recommended for both the PBX and the app.

Vodia PBX enables selective call screening, allowing only specific callers, like a boss’s spouse, to bypass screening, while others are redirected. Internal permissions control who can directly reach certain extensions, while external SPAM filtering uses either an address book or external detection. White-listed callers receive low SPAM scores to pass through, while unknown or high-risk numbers are redirected for screening or asked to leave a message, ensuring essential contacts connect directly.
