Hi, I'm also looking for a native integration of any communication protocol, especially SIP. I did a bit of investigation and experiments when I moved to ubuntu-touch. SIP native integration is actually pretty close to be there.
During my experiments I installed telepathy-sofiasip (rakia) in order to setup my SIP account and have it integrated to the telephony-service, then added the SIP protocol to the whitelist in telephony-service and I was able to receive the incoming call notification/ring alerts. A similar approach was used for my google-talk account in order to receive text messages with similar success (the messages are received without issues). At this point I realized it was possible but didn't dedicate time to make it a complete solution (be able to send messages and make calls + a clean UI integration). I need to try it again and move forward but haven't had time yet. My ideal solution is to have user customizable prioritized multi-protocol support for both calls and messages. For that I would like to use the messaging core app (messaging), the dialer core app (for calls) and the contacts core app for having unique contacts with prioritized multi-protocol credentials. +1 for integration instead of having multiple apps for messaging/calling. Best Regards, Felipe.
