Client downloads ↗THE PHONE YOU CARRY
Install the client. Connect your phone.
Use FebPhone on your iPhone or Android phone to connect to the Android server at home. Install, sign in, pair and check the connection.
1–2 · Install and sign in
Create an account or sign in
Open the client and sign in with your email and password. For your first account, choose Sign up, enter your email and a password, then follow the app’s prompts.
If your spare phone is already linked to an account, use that same account here.
03 · PAIR YOUR DEVICE
Choose the pairing path that fits
Keep your Android server connected to the internet with its app ready. If it is not installed yet, complete the server guide first. Server setup guide →
Select your existing spare phone
- Sign in to the account already linked to the spare phone. The client may connect to an existing device automatically.
- If asked to choose a device, select its name in the account’s spare-phone list. To change it later, open Settings → Remote device management and choose the phone you want to use.
No new pairing code is needed. Check the selected phone’s name if your account has more than one spare phone.
Enter a six-character pairing code
- On the Android server, open Settings → Pairing. If no code is shown, tap Register device; if it has expired, tap Refresh code.
- In the signed-in client, enter that code in the pairing field and tap Pair. If you are already on the main screen, use Settings → Remote device management → Add a spare phone, then Pair a new spare phone.
- Check that the client lists the spare phone and that the server app shows your bound account. Pairing is complete.
The code contains six letters or numbers, not an SMS verification code. Use the current code on your own server app before its displayed expiry time.
04 · CHECK THE CONNECTION
Three checks before you leave
Server connected
Keep the spare phone powered, connected to the internet and running the service. Its home screen should show that it is online and connected.
Correct device selected
Check the spare phone’s name and online status in device management. With multiple phones or SIMs, confirm the device and SIM selected for messages and calls.
Permissions ready
Allow notifications on the client when prompted. Grant the server permissions needed for the features you use, and follow its battery and background-running guidance.
Pairing links the device to your account; check its online status separately. Calls and AI also depend on the server’s model, adaptation and feature settings. The SMS-only server mode does not provide call audio.
Need a hand?
The code is invalid or has expired
Refresh the pairing code in the server app’s Settings → Pairing section, then enter the new six-character code in the client. Check both phones are online and use the code before the expiry shown in the server app.
The server already shows a bound account
Sign in to that same account in the client and select the existing device. A bound server does not show a new pairing code. If you intend to move it to another account, use Unbind on your server first; this removes the existing binding and stops the service. Then pair again and restart the service.
The paired device is offline
Open the server app and confirm its network connection, service status and background permissions. Then refresh device management in the client. If the account has several devices, check that you selected the right one.
I cannot find the client in my app store
Check the download center for the current status of each client channel and its installation instructions. Use the official links shown there when available.
