SessionTalk Softphone
SessionTalk Softphone provides native softphone apps alongside SessionPBX, which combines voice and video calling, team messaging, and hosted PBX service. Apps are listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The softphones can connect to SIP-based PBX and hosted platforms, including Asterisk, FreePBX, FusionPBX, 3CX, FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, BroadSoft, Metaswitch, PortaOne, VitalPBX, and Yeastar. Calling supports up to six concurrent calls, transfer, recording, and HD video using H.264, VP8, or VP9. Depending on plan and setup, messaging may include direct and group messages, file sharing, and SMS through a SIP provider. Teams Phone and Teams Business include hosted phone service, but customers provide their own SIP carrier for external calls and pay that carrier directly. Setup can use a mobile QR code or a one-time desktop link. A 14-day trial includes full feature access and requires no credit card. Monthly plans include Teams Phone at $20 a month, Teams Business at $40 a month, Generic at $100 a month, and white-label mobile or desktop at $400 a month each.
