Linux version crashes
Need to point out that this is an unstable software to a total uselessness. The Linux version - of 2020-april-12 - crashes when called from the Windows version. Or from another SIP phone under Windows. The Linux version also crashes when the call is picked up in the Windows version. (of Linphone itself) The Linux version is still called 'alpha' - after so many years. Why is it called Linux-phone?
 * Allow me to quote some of the latest issues from their list - 2023 March:

Application is NOT NON-FREE SOFTWARE
The application is free software. Quit trolling Wikipedia, EugeneZelenko. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rj.amdphreak (talk • contribs) 01:12, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Technical details
While I'm able to understand all of what is said, I'm pretty confident not everyone would feel that way. Too many links to unnecessary information and too little other information on the application itself. It's written from the POV of a *nix crowd and as such won't help other people understand the application or reasons of usage any better. Compare Yate or Mumble.


 * I agree. Moreover, the support for codecs is constantly changing (the current information is incomplete, for instance). Saturnalia0 (talk) 00:54, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
