There are a couple SIP clients in the App store; the first one I tried (WeePhone) supports STUN but breaks horribly when you try to connect to an Asterisk server across a VPN connection, which is critical in our case since we aren't exposing our Asterisk deployments to the public Internet (same reason why Fring won't work for us).
On the same LAN as the Asterisk server with no intervening VPN it has a few quirks but seems to work decently enough. It looks like the problem is that WeePhone registers with Asterisk using either the local LAN (WiFi) IP address or the public WAN IP address discovered using STUN [if enabled]; there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to use the VPN IP when registering, which, of course, makes it nearly useless for my application - but if you have an Asterisk server with the proper ports exposed to the public Internet that may not be a problem for you. Anyone know if this is true with the other SIP clients in the App Store?

Hi, >From various readings, I thought that the main hurdle that kept iphones away >from asterisk were : 1. a clause in iphone Developpers agreement that forbid applications running in background, 2. lack of sip clients. Now it seems skype is available on iphones. Has someone tried it ? Along new skype capabilities in Asterisk, could it be used to hook iphones to Asterisk for both inbound and outbound calls ? Regards
