Hello,
Can anyone suggest any browser-based (java applet, etc) SIP softphone?
The idea is to make the VoIP service available for a portal user and not
having him/her to download, install and configure software locally.

Anyone has seen anything like that?


Also, could anyone suggest a good user-friendly free SIP client for windows?
I've checked X-lite and a couple more, but they try to repeat the old
"hardware-phone" paradigm.

What I'm looking for is "Skype-like" interface with a buddy list,
instant messaging and good voice quality.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Roman Zhovtulya

Glophone has Glo2Go Express, excellent sound quality, free peer-to-peer,
and an instant <voice> message feature is now in beta testing. Buddy list
and directory is a built-in feature.

http://www.glophone.com/features
http://www.glophone.com/glo2go_express
https://www.glophone.com/store

The sound quality in my experience is better than I get with XPro using
Sipphone.

The user may need to install the regular glophone to sign up for an account,
but Glo2Go will replace the regular Glophone. The "Bluephone" is free.

There is virtually no configuration with Glophone. Xlite can be difficult
(there is a config bug in some downloads).

Thanks a lot for the hint.
Can you configure glophone to use your own SIP server?

What I'm looking for is a free provider-independent SIP client (the best
option would be a java applet-based solutions).

Any other ideas?


Thanks a lot,

I don't think Glophone is configurable, but it is great for peer-to-peer
communication.

XLite is configurable, if you have your server running.

I hope you aren't planning to make yourself rich selling SIP services; the
competition is massive. Peer-to-peer is free and they are working now on
interoperability between the various venders.

For basic communication, even Yahoo messenger now includes voice with their
instant messenger. Sound quality is quite good.

Do a search for "java sip". You will find numerous hits.

(check left side links on above site)
Win2Phone is a 100% pure Java Voice over IP Client for the Windows Operating
System Source code currently unavailable, will be released within 3-6 month.
Stay tuned

FreeWorldDialup can use the Pulver Communicator which will do what you
are looking for.
