Description
Linphone is an open source app offering free audio/video calls and text messaging. With Linphone, you can be reachable at any time, even if the app is closed, with a WiFi or 3G/4G internet connection.
Linphone key features:
* High definition audio and video calls
* Audio conference calls with various participants
* Pictures and file sharing
* Linphone accounts reachable at any time, even if the app is closed (thanks to push notifications)
* Smart contact list to know whom among your friend is reachable thanks to Linphone
* Secure communication (encryption options)
* Compliant with a large number of SIP-compatible VoIP service providers allowing to reach everyone that has a "classic" phone line
* Group chat now available:
- Multi-participant groups
- Multi-device support
- Intuitive message delivery status
- Easy management of participants and admins
Warning:
* Since IOS10, SIP connections in background are no longer allowed. Therefore, only Linphone accounts (sip.linphone.org accounts) can receive calls when the app is closed, thanks to push notifications integrated within our server.
* Group chat features only available for Linphone accounts (sip.linphone.org accounts).
Linphone is available on the main mobile and desktop operating systems and offers various specific features for advanced users (codecs, transport standard, encryption options, DTMF...). For more information, see Linphone project website: www.linphone.org
Note for developers and professionals:
Linphone can be rebranded and customized to meet specific needs. Contact Belledonne Communications www.belledonne-communications.com for any specific development query.

Ratings and Reviews
Nice but push notifications doesn’t work.
Nice UI, allowing me to use my self hosted FreePBX with my iPhone but the only thing is that I cannot get the push notifications working, that make this app almost useless as I cannot get incoming calls.
Don’t waste your time.
Many problems. The worst is that the app has to be in the foreground and your iPhone awake for calls to be received. I have got about 4 crashes in about 30 min of use.
Still somewhat unstable
I was excited to try the new features for answering from the lock screen and from a bluetooth device, but I guess they are only possible from iOS 10, not from my iOS 9.3.3.
While configuring my voip.ms service, Linphone crashed. When I attempted a call using my Versature service, Linphone crashed. I look forward to using Linphone when it is more stable. Meanwhile, Media5-fone and Zoiper are good alternatives.
In Nov 2016 I had offered to help provide crash details to the Linphone mailing list, but did not get a response. I'm not sure how else I can help improve this app, which I really *do* want to succeed.
