In their own words
SipPulse Softphone
SipPulse Softphone is a professional softphone for telecom operators, virtual PBX providers, contact centers, ISPs and SCMs. It supports voice, video and messaging across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. The browser version uses WebRTC and runs without installation. Voice calls can use Opus, G.722 or G.711 for HD audio; video supports H.264 and VP8, and instant messages use SIP MESSAGE. The technical specifications list TLS for signaling, SRTP for media and encrypted credentials. Accounts can be provisioned automatically over HTTP or HTTPS using XML configuration, including codec settings. Android ConnectionService links the app with system calls, and Janus Gateway is integrated with SipPulse SoftSwitch for WebRTC. The App SipPulse plan is free for iOS, Android, Windows and Linux, with unlimited users and installations. Mobile users need valid SIP credentials. White-label publication under a client's brand is offered, while the Chrome extension is marked as coming soon.
