Ease for install and use. Users has simplicity by default and can start working in a few seconds. Nice call history, fast buttons to answer and can be hide in the desktop bar. Works on Linux, Windows, Iphone\! > > **Cons**: On Desktop PCs the keypad is hide by default and can't be modified. > > We can use a lot of codecs like speex, alaw, ulaw and more. This software do the work with stability and a good debug log for troubleshoot problems. ----- ### "One of the best sofphone options for linux" — 4.0/5 > **Juan Manuel** | *26 May 2021* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Easy to install - Easy to use - Easy to configure: In a few steps we can leave it operational and configured with the account of our SIP service - Friendly interface - Ease of having several SIP accounts within the same program and being able to exchange them very quickly. > > **Cons**: - Different types of versions depending on the version of linux - Limited agenda - We occasionally had compatibility issues between sound codecs and computer, but very rarely > > In general lines, linphone offers quality sofphone software, easy to use and configure and that complements the basic and main function: Being able to make calls. We use it on several machines and the few problems that have arisen are because depending on the operating system the available version changed. This was confusing as it moved certain buttons, such as the on-screen keyboard. For the rest, it is a software that we use in more than 40 machines, 10 hours a day and it works wonderfully ----- ### "Good for money\!" — 3.0/5 > **Alejandro** | *13 June 2021* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The price is the key of this product. It also has a lot of interesting features. > > **Cons**: The graphics. They could do better with the layout of the user experience. Its just ok. > > Its a good experience. Easy to use, regular graphics, interesting features, solid software... there are no many better options In the market ----- ### "A fair to use VoIP product" — 4.0/5 > **Puvinthan** | *22 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The pricing of the software is quite cheaper than other softwares available in the market. Once you get use to is, it is quite easy to use and configure. The entire calling experience can be customized easily if there is no one to attend the call. Just drag and drop customization. > > **Cons**: You would need to install a 3rd party software to enable the bridging for the software to work. The after sales is not that supportive though. Would recommend to go through their chats instead of the person who you deal with during the software purchase. > > Excellent \& fast to use. ----- ### "Good SIP Softphone with important missing features." — 4.0/5 > **Amro** | *29 January 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1- Supports multiple SIP accounts. 2- Very simple to use. 3- Supports media encryption 4- Free to use\! > > **Cons**: 1- It doesn't have a call forward button. 2- Requires a reboot if we change the USB media devices, especially the microphone. 3- Supports a few languages only, no Arabic support. > > Was a great free alternative to X-lite Counterpath after it became a paid application, but we moved to a different app due to missing important call features such as forwarding calls. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/158709/linphone?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/158709/linphone) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
