About this app

Sipnetic is a free VoIP softphone based on the SIP protocol. It allows you to connect to your VoIP provider, cloud PBX, or an enterprise telephony server.

⚠️ Important note
Sipnetic doesn’t offer a VoIP service. To use Sipnetic you need an account from a SIP service provider. When you use the New Account Wizard, make sure you already have the server address, login, and password.

Unfortunately, since Dec, 26 it's no longer possible to purchase Sipnetic's paid features on Google Play. Please contact us via email ([e-mail]) for more details.

Ratings and reviews

Had to stop using Sipnetic due to heavy battery use - up to 30% in one day. My phone was in constant danger of not lasting even one day just from normal use and this app. Functionally, the app works and sends text messages using an SIP Simple connection to my VOIP provider, and call quality is fine. But there is no getting around the huge battery use. I have incresed the ping setting as someone else suggested but it does not help. Sorry but the battery drain overwhelms everything else.

Despite having auto-start enabled, I keep discovering Sipnetic has stopped running in the background (the permanent account status notification disappears) and I have to relaunch it. This is unacceptable for a communication app. It needs to automatically relaunch if it EVER crashes in the background. My phone model does not seem to support a daily scheduled reboot, so I can't even rely on that to at least get Sipnetic to auto-start on boot every 24 hours.

Polished and very reliable app that does what it intends to do. Unlike some other apps, it's not aggressively trying to monetize its users, with the vast majority of the features included for free; there are only a few paid addons that are reasonably priced. However, due to not having push support, it is quite a battery hog. I'll give a solid 5 stars once this is added, although I know it can add a significant layer of complexity.
