Linphone (contraction of Linux phone) is a free voice over IP softphone, SIP client and service. It may be used for audio and video direct calls and calls through any VoIP softswitch or 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 is possible to connect Linphone service with any SIP client (software or hardware), and to use Linphone software with any SIP service.
