Description
Currently baresip supports SIP and mobile based voice calls and messages. In addition, voice conference calls, voicemail Message Waiting Indication as well as blind and attended call transfers are available when SIP is used. MMS messaging is not supported yet.
In SIP calls audio can be coded with Opus, AMR, Codec2, G.729, G.722, G.722.1, or PCMU/PCMA codecs. Security is achieved via TLS or WSS SIP signaling transport and ZRTP or (DTLS) SRTP media encapsulation. Security is achieved via TLS or WSS signalling transport and ZRTP or (DTLS) SRTP media encapsulation.
Development of baresip is motivated by need for a secure, open source SIP based VoIP User Agent for Android that does not depend on proprietary, third party push notification services. Mobile calling and messaging was added in order to reduce app pollution.
This application can be installed on Android devices running Android version 9 or later. Mobile calling and messaging needs Android version 10 or later.
If you need video calling, you can instead of this app install its sister app baresip+.
Source code is available at GitHub, where also issues can be reported.

Very nice SIP APP. I can use multiple number in the same app for free. But one update needed: When I type saved phone number in my contact, the search suggestion doesn't show the full contact number so that I can click the number & call. Please update this.

Broad codec support including standard HD Voice codec used by cellphones (AMR-WB), which I've only seen in one other soft phone. Open source. Lightweight and fast-starting. Developer was quick to respond to an issue I had.

I have yet to find a SIP app that works reliably. This couldn't even connect to my Fritz Box.
