Step 4: Download the Client

After an administrator purchases a cloud phone instance and binds it to a user, the user receives an SMS.

Visit Huawei Cloud KooPhone official website, access the download page, and scan the QR code to download the installation package.

  • An Android phone must run on Android 6.0 or later.
