Linphone (contraction of

IP-PBX. Linphone also provides the possibility to exchange instant messages. It has a simple multilanguage interface based on Qt for GUI and can also be run as a console
-mode application on Linux.

Both SIP service and software could be used together, but also independently : it's possible to connect Linphone service with any SIP client (software or hardware), and to use Linphone software with any SIP service.

The softphone is currently developed by Belledonne Communications in France. Linphone was initially developed for Linux[11][12] but now supports many additional platforms including Microsoft Windows, macOS, and mobile phones running Windows Phone,[13] iOS[14] or Android.[15] It supports ZRTP for end-to-end encrypted voice and video communication.

Linphone is licensed under the

network address translator (NAT), meaning it can run behind home routers. It is compatible with telephony by using an Internet telephony service provider
(ITSP).
