Downloading the app

Go to the App Store to download the app.

Logging in for the first time

To use the app, you have to login with your virtuelle Telefonanlage – DIALOG telekom username and password. These are the same credentials you would use at https://start.dialog-vt.at.

Upon the first login, the app will guide you through the settings for

These settings can be changed later on. Please be aware that without the proper permissions the app might not work as intended.

Selecting a country for emergency calls and call-through

When you log into the app for the first time, it requires you to select

  • A country for emergency calls (the emergency number is selected depending on the country; if you are travelling to another country, change this setting)
  • A call-through country (used for initiating GSM calls; please be aware of phone charges and roaming costs)

Giving permissions to the app

When you log into the virtuelle Telefonanlage – DIALOG telekom iOS app for the first time, the app requires you to give access to

This permission is required for the app to work.

  • Local contacts
  • Video camera

Registering your mobile phone number

Please note that you are not required to register your phone number when logging in for the first time. You can skip it and always do it at a later time.
