Looking for a Commercial Grade SIP Softphone

I like Ring and find it very "professional" and linux friendly (they got accepted on Debian repository)


There are lots of software you can use, but firstly you need to know if your commercial Asterisk-based SIP provider is adopting an open protocol.

Some options are:

  • Ekiga
  • Linphone
  • Qutecom
  • Twinkle
  • SJphone
  • Empathy
  • Mumble

Thanks!


X-Lite is my favorite.

Features include:

  • Comprehensive Personal Address Book, including detailed calls lists and history
  • Zero-Touch Configuration of your USB headset or other audio/video devices
  • IM and Presence Management
  • Choice of dial pad-centric or contact-centric interface, or a combination of both

    If you are looking for real commercial software then you can buy eyeBeam 1.5 or Bria 3. Both are from the makers of X-Lite


  • You can try Jitsi (http://www.jitsi.org). I use this in a corporate environment to connect to Openfire Server (Jabber server using XMPP) and also to a VOIP Server (Asterisk based - PIAF software). Audio, video and screen sharing work very nicely.

    Jitsi allows you to sign in various accounts at the same time. Unified communications in the real sense
