Leave a Review Acrobits Softphone
New version fixed iOS 3.x crashing
Kudos to Acrobits devs for fixing the crashing on iOS 3.x fairly quickly. We've been using this app for a while and although I find startup is slower than iSIP (can be an issue on incoming push calls), the UI is more polished and the options are more than we will ever use. Voice quality is great as always. And the continued support for older versions of iOS is very welcome. Great product and my choice over other SIP applications.Show lessieatsoop
Crashes office server
I thought I'd found a solution to my prayers. The acrobits softphone loaded, was simple to configure and everything looked good. The office phone system then went off line, we didn't attribute it to the installation, complained to the supplier, rebooted and everything was fine, next day our phone system went again. Rebooted again and ran, glitch free for 3 or 4 days, on the third crash we were forced to investigate more thouroughly and low and behold its the acrobits resetting itself. Uninstalled it, installed 3CX, no problems from then on.
Valiant try, but ccompletly useless if you want to use it as an extension to your office system.Show lessmooseian

Excellent call quality. The g.729 add on is well worth the cost if you have a marginal wifi connection, nobody could tell that I was using VoIP. Google Voice integration is excellent and seamless. This is my back up phone when the cell signal goes away in a few of our buildings. Highly configureable settings, so if it doesn't work, it is most likely that the pre-set settings don't work for your case. Watch the videos, especially on how to configure google voice to work with your SIP account.Show lessBus. User
Can't receive calls if the app is not running
This app doesn't seem to work in the background, even though it claims to support iOS multitasking. As long as you can live with not having your phone ring when someone calls you, this seems like a great app. I bought it as a transition while I'm waiting for my Dead Gizmo5 dialin number to transfer to a new provider.Show lessmlaster
Works great on my iPhone 4
Just downloaded app and tested with my Voip service. Works great using 3G and using WiFi. Setup a doddle, unlike some other Voip software I've used on different hardware.
For anyone not familiar this app is the software only. You must have a proper VOIP account (the ones that use SIP URLS). Skype is not proper Voip. I'm in the UK and this test was using Voipfone. Most reputable VOIP services are a pay per call only with no standing charges.Show lesszibgis
Awesome app for Google Voice/Gizmo users
If you are a Gizmo5 and Google Voice subscriber, this app will basically turn your iPad/iPod touch into a phone, realistically for outgoing calls. Add your Gizmo SIP account, then add your Google Voice account. This app will then use the callback method when you use the keypad, quickdial favorites or contact list (from within the app). No need to set up backgrounding. I've made free calls back to the United States from overseas using this app. It's not a telephone replacement (you can't dial 911 from this setup), however paired with a pay-as-you-go dumbphone, it's an effective way to cut your phone bill massively.
This review is identical to the one I'm giving to Acrobits Groundwire. I didn't realize the two apps were so similar; for the scenario described above Acrobits Softphone is quiet adequate. There is no difference in call quality.Show lessseany @ iname
SIP client powerhouse
No client that i have found handles incoming calls very well. They either require the app to remain open and in the foreground and the screen cant be turned off, or they stay closed and load when a push notification arrives. Problem with this option is you most likely will miss the call because of loading time.
This one uses the best of both options. While still not as reliable as a standard telephone it will pick up calls on a regular basis. I believe answering calls should remain a focus point for iphone sip client developers until it is perfected.Show lessBeastech
Wow! This is pretty cool.
After researching all the jargon of SIP VoIP, I finally realised it wasn't rocket science and how fantastically cheap it could make international calls from my iPhone. I took the plunge, registered with one of the many VoIP providers (VoipCheap) in a few minutes, downloaded this app, and was chatting to a friend in South Africa in less than a minute! This app is truly user-friendly and their website provides excellent How-To videos. Integration with my iPhone address book is seamless. I cannot praise this app highly enough. It has revolutionised my international calls... now that I'm calling mostly at less than 2c/minute!Show lessKonrad Welz
Happy!
Versatile, allow to subscribe with multiple voip providers, well integrated with iPhone network and audio elements, reliable. Well done!ozpol
Not bad
Still needs some work. Crashes on the first attempt everytime I register to a server. When I reopen and register with that same server it's ok. Call quality is fine over a good wifi connection.
I wish the interface was more professional looking and more in line with the iPhone appearance. It would also be nice to dial a contacts number directly from the iPhones builtin contact list that syncs with my exchange server.
AT&T is allowing voip over 3g now, so when will we see an update that let's us actually take advantage of that????Show lessBilly Jingles
