Hey All,

I’m looking for a good softphone in Linux. I tried Linphone, but it had the same issue I had in Windows where I could send texts ok, but can’t send and receive calls. In Windows, I used Microsip since it worked as soon as I configured it. Linphone seems to be “special.” Any suggestions?

And I don’t care about video calls.

    I used Twinkle, but it’s no longer maintained :(

    It was nice because it also had a CLI interface.

    On my Linux PCs, I ended up moving back to Linphone and adjusted some settings in my Asterisk server to work around the problems I had at first.

    That said, I don’t really use a softphone on my PC much these days. I re-purposed my old Android phones as SIP handsets. For ones that never leave the house, I just configured a SIP account in the native dialer and use UDP. For ones that need to work externally with TLS and media encryption, I use Sipnetic as my client.
