[SIPForum-discussion] Best Softphone for Testing

[John Downing]

Hi Shawn:

I no longer recommend the Bria X-Lite phone for testing unless you buy the
licensed version.

I recommend you look at the 3CX Phone. 3CX really understands the 'Freeium"
model. You can try out their SIP phone, and their IP PBX for free.  There
is even a free support community.  If you decide you like their products
you can purchase them from a variety of sources, including the excellent
website www.voipsupply.com.  I don't think you can change the p-time, but
I'm not sure.

You can also try the remarkable linphone for testing.  It works in every OS.

Maybe Counterpath has made changes to their X-Lite free phone, if so I'd
like to hear from them or someone who knows.
