The main reason for recommending CSipSimple is that it appears to be the only Android SIP client that reliably rings on incoming calls. User reports suggest that other SIP clients (including the built-in client) often miss calls, which we want to avoid. While CSipSimple does appear to be somewhat unmaintained, we're not aware of any particular bugs that would cause it to be insecure or otherwise unsuitable for the JMP use case. Perhaps if we acquire more resources we will be able to maintain it going forward. We'll see! > I have used linphone instead, which seems maintained.

If your use case doesn't require that, then it may be exactly what you're looking for. > I gather Ring can do regular SIP too. I didn't know that, and haven't tested it.

We're interested in adding Jingle voice support, but it's a bit of a chicken or the egg problem right now. Jingle voice isn't supported in the most popular XMPP applications (especially Conversations) so it's difficult for us to justify spending the time implementing it. But once that changes, we'll be happy to add that support.
