How to Log In

All Plans
✓ What You'll Need

Your credentials email from Wynkline (sent after provisioning). It contains your 3CX Web Client URL, username, and temporary password.

1
Open Your Credentials Email

2
Access the Web Client

Click the link in your email or paste your Web Client URL into any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You do not need to install anything for browser-based calling.

3
Enter Your Credentials

Type your username and the temporary password exactly as shown in the email. Passwords are case-sensitive.

4
Change Your Password

On first login you'll be prompted to set a new password. Choose something strong — at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.

5

⚠️ Desktop & Mobile Apps

You can also download the 3CX desktop app (Windows / Mac) or mobile app (iOS / Android) using the same credentials. Download links are included in your provisioning email.

Can't log in?

We'll reset your credentials within the hour.

Troubleshooting

All Plans
✓ Quick Fixes

Most common issues can be resolved in seconds. Walk through the steps below before contacting support — it saves everyone time.

Can't Log In

Double-check your username and password. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you changed your password but it's not working, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then try again. Still stuck? Email support@wynkline.com and we'll reset your credentials.

No Audio / One-Way Audio

1. Check your browser microphone permissions — the 3CX Web Client needs mic access. 2. Try the desktop or mobile app instead of the browser. 3. Check your internet connection stability. VoIP needs at least 1 Mbps upload with low latency. 4. If the issue persists, contact support with your extension number and approximate call time.

Calls Dropping

Dropped calls are usually caused by unstable internet. Close unnecessary apps and browser tabs to free bandwidth. If you're on Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired connection. If drops continue, run a speed test and share the results with support.

Voicemail Not Working

Make sure your voicemail PIN is correct (try *98 from your extension). If you've never set a PIN, contact support — we'll configure it during onboarding if it was missed.

Recording Not Saving

Recording must be enabled on your extension (Pro plan only). Go to Settings → Extensions → your extension → Recording and verify it's turned on. Calls under 10 seconds are not recorded by default.

📌 Still stuck?

Reach out to our support team at support@wynkline.com. Include your extension number, a brief description of the issue, and the approximate time it occurred. Starter plan: 24-hour email response. Pro plan: priority 24/7 support.

Need live help?

Pro plan customers get priority phone support around the clock.
