Looks nice! I would like to test out wifi/sip to see if this might be a viable phone solution

In reply to EunBae Park. Just something to keep in mind, our promo codes are only valid for the US App Store. You mentioned a Korean VoIP provider, do you have a US-based iTunes account?

Nice review of this app. I am looking at integrating this SIP phone with Google Voice via Gizmo and would love to try it out.

I'v been using both siphon(cydia) and iSip(AppStore) which are softphone applications for iPhone and iTouch.

But it's quite not working well with the VoIP provider, Wyz070 in Korea.
So. I'd love to try Acrobits Softphone out.

Thanks for this cool opportunity!

Frank,

I used Softphone with a SIP account to call a person on a POTS line just fine. The app isn't dependent upon a recipient having any particular phone service, as long as they have a 10-digit phone number you can dial.

However, whatever SIP service you have an account with may have other limits or restrictions on who you can call, so make sure to see what your account provides.

Softphone is just an app that works with an existing SIP account, you specify your account type, and enter your username/password.

Hope that answers your question. Thanks for the comment, and for entering the contest!

Regards,
-Josh

Just wondering, if you make a call using this app does the receiver have to have it as well, like Skype?? It might be a dumb question but just wondering…. Thanks 🙂

Terrific earlier post! Would be great to win the softphone SIP app from acrobits — I've been angling for days on whether to purchase this, or go instead with iPico or iSip as my primary SIP client for the iPhone. I've opted to hold off simply because I can't test it out in advance, and because I know the vonage app is coming just around the corner.

Currently, I'm using Fring and have found the call quality to be excellent; my reasons for upgrading however are that the calls occasionally get dropped or do not connect on the first try. In addition, the UI is not terrific on Fring if you use the sip client a lot (which I do). The lack of speakerphone capability is another one — that acrobits supports recording and (it seems) better integration with the native contact lists would be icing on the cake.

How do I get a third entry in the drawing? 😉

I'd love to try out this client. I played a little bit with a Skype app but not very much. I'd love to figure out how to use it more.

I have used Skype for a bit but nobody I know will download it to use. I just like the fact it will save my precious minutes. Seems like a handy app to have 🙂

I've not used a VOiP client on the iphone yet, which is why I'd be VERY interested in trying this one out – for free 🙂
