2 Configuring Bria Android Edition
W e strongly recommend that you perform your initial setup from within a “known” network, such as in
your enterprise or university campus Wi-Fi zone or within range of your home network (if you have
one) and not in a network such as an internet cafe.
2.1 Getting Ready

• Your username, password and domain.
• Your voicemail number, if your service provider provides this service.
Set up your Wi-Fi
1. From the main Android screen, tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2. Look at the Wi-Fi field:
• If it has a checkmark and a message such as “Connected to MyEnterprise”, then your phone has a WiFi connection. Go to “Set up your Mobile Data Connection”, below.
• If it has no checkmark and the line “Turn on Wi-Fi”, then tap the field to turn on Wi-Fi and wait for the
message “Connected to MyEnterprise”
• If the message does not appear, tap Wi-Fi settings (the next field). On the W i-Fi sett ings screen, ta p the
desired network and complete the popup that appears. The message “Connected” will appear.

Presence and Messaging is a premium feature available as an in-app purchase. With Presence and Messaging,
you can share online status with your buddies (such as Available, Away, On the phone), and exchange instant

Bria supports the XMPP protocol and the SIP SIMPLE protocol. Y ou can create an XMPP account on Bria with
your Gmail or Facebook credentials to communicate with your buddies. To use a SIP account for Presence and
Messaging, make sure your VoIP service provider supports this service for SIP SIMPLE. Texting (sending

To use the Presence and Instant Messaging feature for XMPP and/or SIP SIMPLE, you need to purchase the
feature from Google Play. To do so, go to More > Premium Features, and follow the prompt (see page 45 for
details). After the purchase, the IM tab appears at the bottom of Bria. Then follow the steps below, depending

3.2 Interaction between Bria and Native Phone
Contacts
• Bria uses your contacts saved on your phone. Bria’ s co ntacts are continually syn chronized with your native
contacts; adding, modifying or deleting a contact from one list updates the other list.
Placing Calls
• You can place a Bria call so long as you are not already on a native call or not already on two Bria calls.
• You can place a native call regardless of the state of Bria.
Incoming Calls
• An incoming Bria call rings on your phone unless you are on a native call or you are already on two Bria
calls. In both these cases, the new incoming call will go to Bria voicemail instead.
• Incoming native calls: Being on a Bria call has no impact on your native phone: native calls will be
received in the usual way. Therefore, you should be prepared to accept or decline a native call.
Established Calls
• If you accept an incoming native call, any live Bria call goes on hold. You will not be able to take the Bria
call off hold until you end the native call.
• You can have up to two Bria calls established at the same time and switch between them.
