It's been a long time since I've tried to do serious SIP usage on Linux, but way back when, I could never get a client that worked consistently. One or the other would work fine for a while, until either the client, a library elsewhere on the system, or the SIP server would update, and then it'd misbehave terribly and I'd have to go through the roulette and try to find another client that worked well (not always possible). Is the situation better now? What do you use?
- voltagex_ 11y agoWhen I looked for a Windows and a Linux SIP client, I found that most things were based on PJSIP so all suffered the same problems. SIP (and RTP/RTMP) are complex to implement, so I don't think many people try.
- z3t4 11y agoI recently installed asterisk and I have SIP built in into my mobile. Works very well, and was easy to setup.
- xgbi 11y agoGive Linphone a try. UI is old school on Desktop, but it works fine. We have mobile clients too. Disclaimer: I'm a linphone developer.
- cookiecaper 11y agoLinphone was the last client I had working before I gave up totally. Though it would often hang when trying to make a call, it worked well enough for 3 months or so. I started having to compile the builds from git and eventually it got to the point where the app was hanging every time I made a call and I'd have to kill -9 it. It's probably been 3 years or so since I tried it. Similar experiences were had with twinkle and a couple of other clients before I found Linphone.
