Works very well for phone calls. Sadly, with text messages it's a different story. For example, I will get a notification after receiving a SMS from contact A, but the message won't show up in the app after I open it the first time. Sent SMS to contact A will always show up in the app fine, but without any incoming ones. If contact A writes again, I will be able to see the incoming messages new and old, but without the sent ones and again only temporarily. I never have the complete conversation.

I would've liked to really review this app, unfortunately I cannot. Using voip.ms, this app seems to at least dial out fine when using Windows PC app, however, having it to dial out from 3 different phones (using the same home WiFi, not LTE) there's no way it can dial out the same phone numbers, even thought it's showing 'connected', having a green circle beside. Update: Thanks to Linphone tech support, my issue was resolved promptly. Thank you, Linphone!

I like the app overall. The only one issue that keeps bothering me and it is becoming really bothersome is that it crashes, it goes from Connected to Connection in progress or Not Connected when both WiFi and data are available and working fine. And when that happens I check if other apps are working OK on my phone and yes, everything else works while this app crashes. And it drives me crazy, because I have to quickly switch from wifi to 4G in order Not to miss the call and even then, it crashes

I have used this app for many years and it works sometimes. However, it has many issues. Including corrupting contacts (dials a different number from the one in the contact, can only be fixed by wiping the app and reinstalling). Claiming to be connected (registered with sip gateway) but actually not being connected. If you can manage to get the app to dial the correct number and connect then call quality is good.

I have it set up with VoIP.ms, following their configuration instructions. It works fine so long as the phone is awake. But when the screen goes to sleep, the app does not receive calls reliably. I have push notifications turned on, but they don't seem to work. If I activate the background mode to leave a permanent notification on the screen, it receives calls, but kills the battery quickly. Neither option is workable.

Love the features and concept. One of the few soft phones that triggers our music on hold from our sip pbx correctly. Some issues I noticed is that audio gets very distorted when other notifications are displayed on the Android phone. This is distracting as you can't hear the other party until the notification ends. There is an echo when setting up a conference call and you can't easily switch to other accounts if configured. Other than that, it works.

Tried a few other sip phones before going with Linphone and I liked it - good good UI, sound volume, call quality and stability, but eventually moved to GS Wave for additionl features. Retried Linphone Jun 2020, but no longer works - keeps complaining about lack of access to Do No Disturb settings, even though access has been granted - and can't see or add contacts.

"call has been declined" - I use VOIP.ms and the app shows registration okay and when I login to my VOIP.ms account it indeed shows this app registered. However, I get the error shown when trying to make a call. Interestingly, I can send out SMS messages, however have tried changing many if not all the options and still get "call has been declined" immediately when trying to place a voice call.
