One simple reason SIP is better than Skype: Choice!

Wouldn’t it be strange if your email provider forced you to download software to your computer/smartphone in order to access your email? Essentially, that’s what Skype forces you to do, access the Skype services ONLY via a Skype application.

Doesn’t leave you much choice, does it? The beauty of SIP is that it can be used for just about everything the Skype service offers on software or hardware that YOU CHOOSE!

With that in mind, I took a quick look at our new getonsip.com service to see what people are choosing to use with it. I was psyched to see that there’s a wide range of clients in use!

Here’s a quick snapshot of the phones/software clients/smartphone apps I see on the registration list:

• Sipura desk phones
• Bria software clients for PC/Mac
• NCH Software
• Sipsourcery
• Asterisk
• Eyebeam for PC/Mac
• Bria for iPhone
• CSipsimple
• Grandstream desk phones
• Freeswitch
• AVM Fritzbox
• Acrobits Software Phone
• Bria for Android
• Yealink
• X-Lite
• Grandstream Video Phone
• Polycom Video Phone

Three weeks into getonsip, and the service is being used on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, desk phones, video phones, ATAs and more!
