SIP Clients

SIP clients are software applications that run on devices such as computers, smartphones, or tablets and allow users to make and receive SIP-based voice, video, and messaging communications over the internet. They use SIP protocol to establish, maintain and terminate multimedia sessions between two or more parties. SIP clients can be standalone applications, web-based or integrated into other software such as email clients or instant messaging applications.
