Installation
Download NXFone for WindowsDownloads
The current build for Windows. Downloading needs an account and a valid licence — the trial itself is started inside the application afterwards.
No file is available yet. As soon as a version is published it will appear here.
Requirements

- UniFi Talk on a Dream Machine, UDM Pro, UDM SE or a Cloud Gateway
- An extension created there as a third-party SIP device
- Network access to the system, on the LAN or over VPN
- Optional: a CardDAV server such as Nextcloud for contacts

- 01Install and start the application
- 02Open the licence step in the setup wizard
- 03Choose “Try it free for 14 days”
Installation and updates
- The installer (.exe or .msi) sets NXFone up like any other Windows application. No browser tab and no extra server are needed.
- On first launch, the setup assistant walks you through the connection to UniFi Talk: enter the address of your system, the extension and the SIP credentials, and you are done.
- NXFone keeps SIP and CardDAV passwords in the Windows Credential Manager, not in a readable configuration file.
- NXFone checks on its own whether a new version is available and offers the update right inside the application. Settings and call history are kept.
- Use the SHA-256 value above to check that the file arrived unchanged: run Get-FileHash on the downloaded file in PowerShell and compare the values.
Installation questions
- Is NXFone available for macOS or Linux?
- No. NXFone is a native Windows application for the 64-bit editions of Windows 10 and 11. There is no version for macOS or Linux.
- On how many computers may I install NXFone?
- Each licence runs on two devices at the same time, for example the desk PC and a notebook. The term changes the price, not the features. The trial is tied to the device on which it was started.
- Does NXFone ring when its window is closed?
- Yes. If you like, NXFone starts with Windows and stays in the notification area of the taskbar. Incoming calls then open their own call window even while the main window is closed.
- Does telephony run through an NXFone server?
- No. NXFone registers directly with your UniFi Talk system, on the local network or over VPN. Calls and contacts do not pass through an intermediate cloud server.
- How do I set up the extension in UniFi Talk?
- The extension is created in the UniFi console as a third-party SIP device. The setup guide shows which fields to fill in there and how the data gets into NXFone, with a screenshot for every step.
