Yes, I did mean de-registered.  I meant a phone that no longer has the
ability to use the cellular network - only wifi. For instance, we have
a couple of Droids that used to be on Verizon. They work just fine as
sip-phones over wifi.

Hi,

Our requirements were different, so we came to three candidates;
linphone, ekiga and jitsi
Linhphone is easy to "pre-configure" from a script and the buttons are
easier to use, but lacks the possility for an ldap-adres-book.

With ekiga you have the adresbook, but you have to use the mouse
everywhere (the return-button gives unexpected results)

And with jitsi (java-based) you are independant of Qt/GTK.

I guess you meant "de-registered smartphone" : what does it mean?

We came down to linphone and qutecom. linphone echo canceller was a 
modest plus.


But what really made us choose linphone was you use it on android/iphone.

That has been a huge plus. As a bonus, you can use any degegistered 
smartphone - that is, one not hooked up to the cellular network,only 
wireless - as a softphone.

We've tried out Qutecom, Linphone and SFLPhone, and all three work well 
for our client's environment (call-out centre).  We finally implemented 
Qutecom for most of the desktops, for some reason that escapes my memory 
right now.

Ekiga was just too heavy for our needs.  There's also Twinkle, which is 
what we use for testing since it's light and fast.

Hi there Tom

I've found that QuteCom works just fabulously for my needs,... you're 
mileage may vary though...




Ross:  Thanks, much.

[asterisk-users] best softphone for 2012?

[Tom Poe]

Just installed asterisknow 1.6.  I can access freepbx.  I need to test 
system on my LAN.  Which softphone is best to use?  I'm running ubuntu 
on Dell optiplex G260 desktop at home.  I'm hoping to setup basic IP PBX 
for incoming/outgoing calls.  No video.
