Getting Started

This page walks you through downloading, installing, and setting up TeleTalk on your server phone.

TeleTalk is distributed as an APK file, not via the public app store. You will need to allow installation from "Unknown sources" on the phone.

Step 1 — Download the APK

You can get the APK in one of two ways:

Open a browser on the server phone and go to:

https://apps.omnivoltaic.com/prod/oves.apk

The download should start automatically.

Your administrator may send you the APK file directly (e.g. via WhatsApp, email, or file transfer). Simply tap on the file to download it.

Info

If neither option works, contact your administrator to obtain the APK file.

Once you have the APK, move on to Step 2.

Step 2 — Install TeleTalk

  1. Tap the downloaded APK file from the notification bar, or find it in the Downloads / Files app.

  2. You may see a "This file may be harmful" warning. Tap Open file to proceed.

    Tap Open file on the warning prompt

  3. When asked "Do you want to install this app?", tap Install.

    Tap Install to confirm

  4. Once the installation is complete, tap Open to launch TeleTalk.

    Tap Open to launch TeleTalk

  5. TeleTalk will ask for permissions. Grant both when prompted:

    Permission Why It's Needed
    Messages (SMS) Allows TeleTalk to send and receive SMS
    Calls (Phone) Allows TeleTalk to manage calls

    Warning

    Both permissions must be granted. If either is denied, TeleTalk will not work. You can fix this later from Settings > Apps > TeleTalk > Permissions.

Note

Once installed, move on to Step 3.

Step 3 — Log In

You will see the TeleTalk login screen. Enter the email and password provided by your administrator, then tap LOG IN.

Step 4 — Register the Device

The final step is to register this phone with your organization so it can start sending and receiving messages.

1. Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top left corner of the Dashboard.

Tap the menu icon

2. In the sidebar, tap Settings.

Tap Settings in the sidebar

3. Fill in the details on the Settings page:

  • Organization — enter your organization name (provided by your admin).
  • Phone Number — enter the phone number of the SIM card in this phone.

Then tap Register Device.

Fill in the fields and tap Register Device

4. Scroll down to Fraud Protection. Make sure the Enable Fraud Detection toggle is off, then tap Save all settings.

Keep fraud detection off and save settings

Tip

Disabling fraud detection prevents the app from incorrectly blocking outgoing messages.

You're all done! TeleTalk is now set up and ready to use on this phone.
