How to Setup Bria Solo

(This is for Bria Solo; if you are looking for Bria Mobile Setup, go here.

The Bria Solo App is a Counterpath product allowing you to make/receive calls using your computer (with a headset) or smartphone.

Some notes on headsets:

• You can purchase your headset anywhere you want to. We can also order a headset for you.
• You will see quite a variety of headsets, from wired, to wireless Bluetooth, to DECT wireless, if you google “headsets.” And they can vary quite a bit in price. It pays to go with a well-known brand like Polycom, Plantronics, Yealink, etc. Also, If you choose a cheaper headset, remember that the audio quality could be sub-par.
• Wireless USB headsets generally work fine but do not allow you to walk far from your computer and maintain a connection.
• DECT wireless does allow you to walk up to 300 feet away from your computer if that is important to you.
• In addition, you should consider whether you need noise canceling.
• We do suggest you read the online reviews for a headset before purchasing.
• We recommend the Yealink WH62 Mono Dect wireless headset for sound quality and mobility.
• Here is a list of headsets you can use.
