Early Android had it - wouldn't be surprised if it still exists now but has been hidden from the UI. For VoWiFI/VoLTE it's already using SIP anyway so there definitely is a SIP client.
The only reason you're not given access to it is because carriers are doing their best to protect their obsolete business model, and despite the appearances, Apple is fully complicit as well.
- wolrah 4y ago> Early Android had it - wouldn't be surprised if it still exists now but has been hidden from the UI. It's buried in the settings for the Phone app (the dialer) and AFAIK is often removed from OEM ROMs because of course it is. As a VoIP engineer, it's a terrible soft client. It works, barely, and has basically no features beyond bare minimum calling. I've tried to use it repeatedly over the years but always ended up on commercial softphones like Bria or GS Wave.
- kevincox 4y agoSIP was actually removed from the ASOP dialer very recently. It was removed in Android 12 (released late 2021). The support was never great (it would reset to defaulting to SIM calls every reboot) but it worked and was reliable.
- bestham 4y agoSIP is the basis for VoLTE and VoNR. So in some sense iOS and Android still support SIP.
