ℹ️

Note: This guide applies to Samsung phones only.

When you install the Natterbox Mobile app for the first time on a Samsung phone, you are prompted to enable the Natterbox calling account in your Android system settings after you sign in. This guide explains how to enable the calling account manually if the in-app prompt closes before the settings screen opens.

Overview

The prompt to enable the Natterbox calling account appears the first time you sign in to the Natterbox Mobile app. It can also appear after you reinstall the app or after your phone installs an Android update.

In some cases, pressing Settings in the prompt closes the Natterbox Mobile app without opening your device's settings menu. If this happens, you can enable the Natterbox calling account manually by following the steps below.
