About Linphone

Make VoIP calls (Voice over IP) no matter where you are.

With Linphone you can:
- create a SIP account from Linphone.org
- log in with your existing SIP account (*)
- call to another SIP or eNum (free of charge)
- call regular phone numbers (requires a SIP account with credit)

Features
- Linphone runs in the background by default
- You can prevent Linphone from running in the background in Settings
- Dark theme support in Settings

Known issues
- If app is open and phone is locked it will not ring until phone is manually unlocked (issue #6)
- Linphone will ring even in silent mode (issue #13)
- You will not be able to log in with certain SIP accounts (issue #22)
- Currently no echo-cancelling. Workaround: use headphones
- On tablet, there's no audio while in a call. Workaround: swap audio to speakers / headphones using manual call-swap button

Thanks:

    Wish it had more features. As far as I can see, we have to type full phone number@full.voip.servername for every call. Wish the servername were in the config so only number had to be dialed. And only 3 contacts can be added. I wish it could pull from phone contacts And lastly, it doesn't ring or even show incoming calls when screen is asleep. This is a great start, but it has a ways to go. VoIP Calling is important on UT since the phone no longer works over USA Networks as of summer 2022 due to VoLTE.

    Works very good! Meizu pro 5 (OTA-19) Use free linphone accounts and accounts with pay for calls on sip and phone numbers. Calls from me and to me are supported in any mode.

    Works fine on Nexus5, alldought the gui is tiny and some settings (ringtone) missing. Good to use in combination with an homeserver supporting sip.
