SIP-based voice has two channels:

  signaling, the SIP channel proper, which can (and IMHO always should)
  have TLS

  data channel, labeled RTP.  This can have encryption.  One method is
  SRTP, with keys negotiated somehow (such as via the signaling
  channel).  Another is ZRTP, where the two endpoints send key
  negotiation messages *in the RTP channel*.


So using TLS for signalling does not automatically lead to media stream
encryption.  It also does not lead to e2e encryption for chat, but if
all parties including proxy-proxy links are TLS, you do get hop-by-hop
encryptoin.
