We can use a lot of codecs like speex, alaw, ulaw and more. This software do the work with stability and a good debug log for troubleshoot problems.

Pros

It's a lighweight software for make calls in enterprise like system. Ease for install and use. Users has simplicity by default and can start working in a few seconds. Nice call history, fast buttons to answer and can be hide in the desktop bar. Works on Linux, Windows, Iphone!

Cons

On Desktop PCs the keypad is hide by default and can't be modified.

In general lines, linphone offers quality sofphone software, easy to use and configure and that complements the basic and main function: Being able to make calls. We use it on several machines and the few problems that have arisen are because depending on the operating system the available version changed. This was confusing as it moved certain buttons, such as the on-screen keyboard. For the rest, it is a software that we use in more than 40 machines, 10 hours a day and it works wonderfully

Pros

- Easy to install
- Easy to use
- Easy to configure: In a few steps we can leave it operational and configured with the account of our SIP service
- Friendly interface
- Ease of having several SIP accounts within the same program and being able to exchange them very quickly.

Cons

- Different types of versions depending on the version of linux
- Limited agenda
- We occasionally had compatibility issues between sound codecs and computer, but very rarely

Alternatives Considered

Zoiper

Reasons for Switching to Linphone

We chose linphone over other options for its ease of use and mainly for its free option that is comfortable and minimally invasive with the end user.

A fair to use VoIP product

Reviewed on 2022/07/22

Excellent & fast to use.

Excellent & fast to use.

Pros

The pricing of the software is quite cheaper than other softwares available in the market. Once you get use to is, it is quite easy to use and configure. The entire calling experience can be customized easily if there is no one to attend the call. Just drag and drop customization.

Cons

You would need to install a 3rd party software to enable the bridging for the software to work. The after sales is not that supportive though. Would recommend to go through their chats instead of the person who you deal with during the software purchase.

Alternatives Considered

RingCentral Engage Voice

Reasons for Switching to Linphone

They are fast in approaching you for the product purchase. And the main factor was the pricing; which is way far more better than other competitors

Was a great free alternative to X-lite Counterpath after it became a paid application, but we moved to a different app due to missing important call features such as forwarding calls.

Pros

1- Supports multiple SIP accounts.
2- Very simple to use.
3- Supports media encryption
4- Free to use!

Cons

1- It doesn't have a call forward button.
2- Requires a reboot if we change the USB media devices, especially the microphone.
3- Supports a few languages only, no Arabic support.

Alternatives Considered

3CX and Zoiper

Reasons for Choosing Linphone

Because X-lite Counterpath became paid.

Switched From

Reasons for Switching to Linphone

It is a great software that allows a sales and customer service team to carry out the daily work. Beyond being easy to use, it allows you to record the work of employees.

Pros

It allows me to make outgoing calls and monitor the recent call log.

Cons

Sometimes it happens to us in some computers that the software does not respond and we must restart the entire computer and not just the program.

Using it in the interim until we make a switch to another more up to date service.

Pros

It's simple. No fluff. Someone calls. You hear a ring. Dial a number. It calls. There are no bells and whistles.

Cons

There are no bells and whistles. It's about as old school as it gets. Very outdated aesthetic and features. Each caller is given a special ID # that is long and unidentifiable.

Excelente experiencia.
Se me complico en un momento porque era con apt, luego con flatpak y entiendo actualmente con appimage.

Pros

Es sencillo de utilizar y muy liviano. Es la herramienta que vengo utilizando para telefonia IP en los ultimos años y rinde efectivamente tanto en Linux como Windows.

Cons

En Linux, que es donde mayormente lo uso en algunos casos con la version 3.X sucede que se traba y hay que borrar el archivo .linphonerc y reconfigurar de nuevo para que siga andando.
