Support & setup

Everything you need to get your Ponrai line running, from first sign-in to voicemail. Still stuck? Your coordinator is one email away.

Setting up your line

When your number is activated, your welcome email contains three things: your +474 number, your line username (the 6-digit subscriber part of your number) and your line password. That's all you need.

Step 1

Install a calling app

Ponrai works with standards-based SIP calling apps. We test against Zoiper and Linphone (iOS, Android, desktop) and MicroSIP (Windows); most SIP desk phones work too.

Step 2

Add your Ponrai account

Create a new SIP account in the app with server carrier001.bulak.org (port 5060), your line username, and your line password from the welcome email.

Step 3

Register and test

When the app shows "registered", dial the weather line on 4749000002 to hear your first call connect. Then call a friend.

One device at a time: a Ponrai line registers from a single device at once. Signing in on a new device signs the previous one out, deliberately, so calls and texts never end up on a phone you left in a drawer.

Dialing guide

Three formats work everywhere on the network; the bare 6-digit subscriber number is not dialable on its own.

You dialWhat happens
+4742001445210Connects, international format
4742001445210Connects, full number without the plus
2001445210Connects, national format (country code omitted)
445210Does not connect, bare subscriber numbers are not routable

Whichever format you dial, the person you call always sees your full Bulakland number as caller ID.

Voicemail

Every Ponrai line includes a voicemail box. If your line is off or you don't pick up within 30 seconds, callers are invited to leave a message.

*97 - your own mailbox

Dial *97 from your own Ponrai line to hear your messages. Your line's identity is the key, no PIN prompt on your own extension.

*98 - any mailbox

Dial *98 from any Ponrai line, then enter a mailbox number and its PIN. Handy for checking your messages from a family member's phone. Your PIN is in your welcome email; contact your coordinator to reset it.

Frequently asked questions

My app says "registration failed". What should I check?

First the basics: server carrier001.bulak.org, port 5060, and the exact username and password from your welcome email (the username is the 6-digit subscriber part of your number, not the full number). If those are right, check that your network allows SIP traffic, some office firewalls block it. Still stuck? Email your coordinator.

Calls connect but I hear no audio.

This is almost always a firewall or NAT issue on your local network blocking the audio stream. Try another network (e.g. mobile data) to confirm, then enable the "random ports" or STUN option in your app's audio/network settings.

Can I make video calls?

No, the Ponrai network is voice and messaging only. Video calling was evaluated and not taken forward.

Why can't I dial just the last six digits of a number?

Six-digit subscriber numbers are only unique within a single carrier, so the network requires at least the national format (class + carrier + subscriber, e.g. 2001445210). This guarantees a dialed number means the same thing from every phone in the Kingdom.

Someone called me and it went to voicemail even though my phone was on.

Your line only rings on the device where it's currently registered. If you recently opened your calling app on another device, that device took over the registration. Open the app on the phone you want to ring and let it re-register.

How do I watch Ponrai TV?

Your subscription email contains your personal stream link. Open it in a browser, or paste it into a media player like VLC ("Open Network Stream"). See the Ponrai TV page for details.

Can I call emergency services from my Ponrai line?

No. The Ponrai network does not carry emergency-service calls and must never be your only means of reaching them. Keep access to a fixed line or terrestrial mobile network for emergencies.
