# What are the basic settings for users?

Overview of the most important user settings in sipgate – numbers, routing, devices, voicemail, and forwarding.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="sipgate classic" %}
As a user, you can configure many settings yourself. Booking phone numbers is reserved for admins only; however, you manage your assigned numbers.

* **Phone numbers & routing:** In the section *Telephony* define which number rings on which device, set up call forwarding, and manage your voicemail.
* **Set up devices:** Under *Telephony → Add device* add VoIP phones, mobile devices, or external devices. For VoIP, you can find the access data and setup instructions under *Edit routing*. Activate mobile devices with SIM or eSIM.
* **sipgate app:** Simply install, log in, and start making calls right away.
* **Language:** Under *My telephony → User settings → Language* you can select English.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="sipgate neo" %}
In addition to the existing functions, additional options are available.

* **Forwarding:** Under *Channels → Edit routing* define when and where calls are forwarded to (e.g. voicemail, announcement, another user, or channel).
* **Notifications:** Under *Settings → Notifications* enable emails for voicemails, faxes, SMS, and calls.
* **Block list:** Under *Settings → Block list* block unwanted phone numbers.
  {% endtab %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/getting-started/alles-fur-den-start-mit-sipgate/was-sind-die-grundlegenden-einstellungen-fuer-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
