On the desktop (Linux Mint Debian Edition I) I initially had the most success with Jitsi. After some fiddling to get Ekiga to work it has become my preferred client. I don't use it much, I'd rather talk on a real handset. I have Linphone installed too, but I'm not sure it's working. > Do you like the GXP device? The GPX280? Short answer: No. The UI on the phone is too limited to easily get last-caller info, or add entries into the phonebook (yes, I should be using an LDAP directory). The WebUI looks like it was made to be compatible with Netscape 3. The caller log info is not accessible through the WebUI. I'm sure these things can be fixed with a firmware upgrade, but this phone is no longer sold or being developed by Grandstream. But it works, and the sound quality is OK. For the next installation I'm thinking of getting a cordless WiFi enabled voip phone, something like http://en.grandstream.net/en/ip-phones/grandstream-dp715-dect-system-base-handset.html > And which Android SIP client do you prefer? I was always big on the Linphone app because of its cross-platform availability. Now that I've had a chance to use it cross-platform I'm not very impressed at all. F'rinstance, the Android Linphone does not have letters on the dialling keypad. Makes it too difficult for me to type in Voice Mail passwords. I'm now using the integrated "Internet Phone" capability in Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my LG P999 phone. That works well, but I can tell it drains the battery faster (the battery is already near end-of-life; that phone is almost five years old and not supported by anybody). I just installed CSipSimple, looks nice and clean. Something I haven't been able to do: Call one phone from another using voip.ms. Each phone (analog, VOIPphone or SIP client) has its own sub-account on voip.ms, and I've assigned "Internal extensions" to each. But I haven't figured out how to call an internal extension. This wasn't available with the POTS we had before, so it's not a loss in functionality, but it would be nice to get that working. Any hints? - --Bob.
