Can I make internet calls (VoIP, SIP)?

nosucherror

Hi, I've just started using UBports on a Nexus5 and I'm wondering if there's any way I can make internet calls? I had hoped Telegram would work for this but it seems very restricted and I'm using it with the desktop app at the moment.
If not is it in development?
Other than that I'm really impressed with the OS and handset, cheers.

@nosucherror Me too, think it would be great with a softphone integrated. The way i would like it is integrated with the phone app as described in this post: https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg16455.html . A very nice thing from the information in his post is that it seems to be a small job to implement it.

@hans1977se Once upon the time I ported baresip (a command line SIP client) to the BQ E4.5 UbuntPhone. I was even able to make a first SIP call. Then I started to hack something together in Qt (baresip has a nice way to integrate other UI), but I gave up due to lack of time There must be some post with my UI in the LP mailing list...

There is work in progress for a Linphone port to Ubuntu Touch, but its in concept / tryout stage. But expect to have a beta soon

I'd be very much interested in a IP/internet call app on UT. I'm sure we are not alone.

wow, a SIP client would be great. I am using SIP calls many times.

Hi!
As @Flohack said already, there's a team working on a port of Linphone.

@twinkybot Or Tox which is P2P encrypted... There is no shortage...

@3arn0wl Thanks didn't know of Tox

But actually my hope lies in [matrix] that Riot and uMatrix are going to integrate a SIP client or enhance Jitsi maybe.
