Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business and Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1: Business and Basis of Presentation
	The Company designs, develops, markets and supports billing and data management software and services. The Company operates in two business segments: Electronic Invoice Management (“EIM”) and Call Accounting Management and Recording (“CAMRA”). The majority of the Company’s business is in Europe and North America.
	The Company was originally incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1968 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1988, pursuant to a merger of CTI into a wholly owned subsidiary formed as a Delaware corporation. In November 1995, the Company changed its name to CTI Group (Holdings) Inc.
	EIM designs, develops and provides electronic invoice presentment and analysis software that enables internet-based customer self-care for wireline, wireless and convergent providers of telecommunications services. EIM software and services are used primarily by telecommunications services providers to enhance their customer relationships while reducing the providers operational expenses related to paper-based invoice delivery and customer support relating to billing inquiries. CAMRA designs, develops and provides software and services used by enterprise, governmental, institutional end users and managed and hosted customers of service providers to manage their telecommunications service and equipment usage and to analyze voice, video, and data usage, record and monitor communications and perform administrative and back office functions such as cost allocation or client bill back. These applications are commonly available in the market as enterprise-grade products. Customers typically purchase the CAMRA products when upgrading or acquiring a new enterprise communications platform.
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
	Certain information in footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
	The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, which the Company is required to follow.
	Amortization expense of developed software, which relates to cost of sales, was presented as depreciation and amortization expense. Amortization expense of developed software amounted to $237,282 and $182,277 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	NOTE 5: New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers a new standard on revenue recognition that supersedes previously issued revenue recognition guidance. This guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and requires expanded disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue (and the related cash flows) arising from customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments used in applying the revenue model and the assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This new standard is effective beginning in fiscal year 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method therefore management is evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Management has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on the Company’s ongoing financial reporting.
	In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation	Note 7: Stock Based Compensation
	The Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provided for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options to purchase, and restricted stock grants of, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Individuals eligible for participation in the Plan includes designated officers and other employees (including employees who also serve as directors), non-employee directors, independent contractors and consultants who perform services for the Company. The terms of each grant under the Plan were determined by the board of directors, or a committee of the board administering the Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Outstanding stock options become immediately exercisable upon a change of control of the Company as in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Stock options granted under the Plan typically become exercisable over a one to five year period. Generally, the options have various vesting periods, which include immediate and term vesting periods.
	In 2002, the Company’s stockholders authorized an additional 2,000,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. In addition, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC. Such registration statement also covered certain options granted prior to the merger in 2001, which were not granted under the Plan (“Outside Plan Stock Options”).
	On December 8, 2005, the Company’s stockholders ratified the CTI Group (Holdings) Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In addition, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC. The Stock Incentive Plan replaced the Plan. No new grants will be granted under the Plan. Grants that were made under the Plan prior to the stockholders’ approval of the Stock Incentive Plan will continue to be administered under the Plan.
	The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to grant awards to non-employee directors, executive officers and other employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries and to determine the number and types of such awards and the terms, conditions, vesting and other limitations applicable to each such award. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the power to interpret the Stock Incentive Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations as it considers necessary or appropriate for purposes of administering the Stock Incentive Plan.
	The following types of awards or any combination of awards may be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) stock grants, (iv) performance awards, and (v) restricted stock units.
	The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock with respect to which awards may be granted to any individual participant under the Stock Incentive Plan during each of the Company’s fiscal years will not exceed 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments described in the Stock Incentive Plan.
	The aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that are reserved for awards, including shares of Class A common stock underlying stock options, to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is 6,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and other specified events. As of March 31, 2015, there were 2,848,989 awards available for grant under the Stock Incentive Plan. If any outstanding award is cancelled, forfeited, or surrendered to the Company, shares of Class A common stock allocable to such award may again be available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted only to participants who are executive officers and other employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the day of the grant, and non-qualified stock options may be granted to any participant in the Stock Incentive Plan. No stock option granted under the Stock Incentive Plan will be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted.
	On April 1, 2014, “Board”, adopted Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the CTI Group (Holdings) Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Amendment amended the Stock Incentive Plan to, among other things, permit the Compensation Committee of the Board, as administrator of the Stock Incentive Plan, to issue restricted stock units (each an “RSU”) to certain eligible participants under the Stock Incentive Plan. An RSU represents a contingent right to receive shares of Class A common stock, cash and/or other property. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Compensation Committee of the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine (i) the participants, under the Stock Incentive Plan, who will receive RSUs, and (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and/or the amount of cash or other property underlying each RSU. Further, each RSU will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Stock Incentive Plan as are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board and as set forth in the award agreement relating to such RSU. The Amendment also amended the Stock Incentive Plan to permit the Compensation Committee of the Board to grant awards under the Stock Incentive Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards of another entity (an “Acquired Entity”) held by such Acquired Entity’s former employees if such individuals become employees of the Company as a result of the Company’s merger or consolidation with or acquisition of the Acquired Entity.
	At March 31, 2015, there were options to purchase 3,057,171 shares of Class A common stock. There were exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 2,828,838 shares of Class A common stock under the Plan and Stock Incentive Plan as of March 31, 2015.
	At March 31, 2015, there were outstanding RSUs representing the right to receive up to 974,119 shares of Class A common stock at a future date.
	Information with respect to options and RSUs was as follows:
		Options &			Exercise	Weighted
		RSU Shares			Price Range	Average

	Outstanding, March 31, 2015		4,031,290		$0.08 - $0.39	$	0.174
	The future compensation costs related to non-vested options and RSUs at March 31, 2015 is $50,075. The future costs will be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 1.25 years.
	The following table summarizes options exercisable at March 31, 2015:
		Option			Exercise	Weighted Average		Aggregate		Weighted Remaining
		Shares			Price Range	Exercise Price		Intrinsic Value		Contractual Term

	March 31, 2015		2,828,838		$0.08 - $0.39	$	0.174	$	1,175,138	3.22 years

	Expired		(174,380	)
	Vested		—
	31-Mar-15		1,202,452
	The fair value of each RSU or option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed-form option valuation model (Black-Scholes-Merton formula) that uses the assumptions noted in the following table:
		2014
	Risk-free interest rate		0.5	%
	Dividend yield		0	%
	Volatility factor		91	%
	Expected lives		5 years
	The fair value of each option and RSU award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed-form option valuation model (Black-Scholes-Merton formula). Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes.
	The expected term of options granted is derived from general practices used by other companies in the software industry and estimates by the Company of the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
	On February 16, 2007, the Company and Fairford Holdings Scandinavia AB (“Fairford Scandinavia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairford, entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated February 16, 2007. Pursuant to the Agreement, on February 16, 2007, the Company issued to Fairford Scandinavia a Class A common stock Purchase Warrant (the “Original Warrant”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company in consideration for securing the issuance of a $2.6 million letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) from SEB Bank to National City Bank. Due to National City Bank’s receipt of the Letter of Credit, the Company was able to obtain the loan at a favorable cash-backed interest rate. Effective April 14, 2008, the Company entered into a new Securities Purchase Agreement with Fairford Scandinavia and issued an additional warrant to Fairford Scandinavia to purchase shares of Class A common stock based on the interest rate savings (the “Additional Warrant”).
	Pursuant to the Original Warrant, Fairford Scandinavia is entitled to purchase 419,495 shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustments as described in the Original Warrant, at any time prior to the 10th anniversary of the date of issuance. Pursuant to the Additional Warrant, Fairford Scandinavia is entitled to purchase 620,675 shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price of $0.22 per share, subject to adjustments as described in the Additional Warrant, at any time prior to the 10th anniversary of the date of issuance. On December 31, 2009, Fairford Scandinavia sold all of its owned Class A shares, or 355,099 shares to Fairford for SEK 2.80362 ($0.39) per share. As of March 31, 2015, Fairford beneficially owned 62.7% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and Fairford Scandinavia owned warrants to purchase 1,040,170 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Mr. Osseiran, the majority holder of the Company’s Class A common stock and a director of the Company, is a director of Fairford, the President of Fairford Scandinavia and a grantor and sole beneficiary of a revocable trust which is the sole stockholder of Fairford. Mr. Dahl, a director of the Company, is a director of Fairford and the Chairman of Fairford Scandinavia. The Original Warrant and Additional Warrant vested immediately upon grant.
	Included within selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $30,400 and $15,209, respectively, of stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expenses are recorded in the Corporate Allocation segment as these amounts are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance.

Indemnification to Customers	NOTE 8: Indemnification to Customers
	The Company’s agreements with customers generally require the Company to indemnify the customer against claims that the Company’s software infringes third party patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights. Such indemnification obligations are generally limited in a variety of industry-standard provisions including the Company’s right to replace the infringing product. As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not experience any material losses related to these indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. The Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and consequently, the Company has not established any related accruals.

	The Company records a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset to the extent management believes, it is more likely than not, that the asset will not be realized. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s valuation allowance related only to net deferred tax assets in the United States. The Company does not consider earnings related to non U.S. subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested.
	The Company recognizes a tax position as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.
	As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company had $149,085 and $151,604 of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, all of which would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes as well as foreign income tax in the United Kingdom. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.
	The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2015.
	For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company had $99,175 and $42,043, respectively, of income tax expense. The income tax expense was primarily related to the United Kingdom operations. The difference between the statutory rate and the actual rate is primarily due to the valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets in the United States.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	NOTE 11: Segment Information
	The Company has two reportable segments: EIM and CAMRA. These segments are managed separately because the services provided by each segment require different technology and marketing strategies.
	Electronic Invoice Management: EIM designs, develops and provides electronic invoice presentment and analysis software that enables internet-based customer self-care for wireline, wireless and convergent providers of telecommunications services. EIM software and services are used primarily by telecommunications services providers to enhance their customer relationships while reducing the providers operational expenses related to paper-based invoice delivery and customer support relating to billing inquiries.
	Call Accounting Management and Recording: CAMRA designs, develops and provides software and services used by enterprise, governmental, institutional end users and managed and hosted customers of service providers to manage their telecommunications service and equipment usage and to analyze voice, video, and data usage, record and monitor communications and perform administrative and back office functions such as cost allocation or client bill back. These applications are commonly available in the market as enterprise-grade products. Customers typically purchase the CAMRA products when upgrading or acquiring a new enterprise communications platform.
	Reconciling items for operating income (loss) in the table below represent corporate expenses and depreciation all of which are in the United States.
	The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	NOTE 12: Subsequent Events
	On April 1, 2015, the Board adopted the CTI Group (Holdings) Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Stock Incentive Plan”).
	The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to grant awards to non-employee directors, executive officers and other employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries and to determine the number and types of such awards and the terms, conditions, vesting and other limitations applicable to each such award. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the power to interpret the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations as it considers necessary or appropriate for purposes of administering the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.
	The following types of awards or any combination of awards may be granted under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) stock grants, (iv) performance awards, and (v) RSUs.
	The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock with respect to which awards may be granted to any individual participant under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan during each of the Company’s fiscal years will not exceed 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments described in the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.
	The aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that are reserved for awards, including shares of Class A common stock underlying stock options, to be granted under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan is 5,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and other specified events. If any outstanding award is cancelled, forfeited, settled in cash or surrendered to the Company, shares of Class A common stock allocable to such award may again be available for awards under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted only to participants who are executive officers and other employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the day of the grant, and non-qualified stock options may be granted to any participant in the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. No stock option granted under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan will be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted.
	The Compensation Committee of the Board, as administrator of the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, is permitted to issue RSUs to certain eligible participants under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine (i) the participants under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan who will receive RSUs, and (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and/or the amount of cash or other property underlying each RSU. Further, each RSU will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan as are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board and as set forth in the award agreement relating to such RSU. The Compensation Committee of the Board is also permitted to grant awards under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards of an Acquired Entity held by such Acquired Entity’s former employees if such individuals become employees of the Company as a result of the Company’s merger or consolidation with or acquisition of the Acquired Entity.
