8/17/2023 0 Comments Zoiper softphone review![]() ![]() Since its inception in 2010 I have been a blink user. I am a voip enthusiast and professional consultant specializing in open-standards SIP (voip) solutions for businesses. ) I paid about $50 for another SIP client which shall remain unnamed and could *never* get it to work /and/ this package is supposed to be a robust, "professional" package. Nice!Blink also seems to work reliably via NAT which is kind of a critical function because seriously, who has a laptop/desktop on the net with a public IP? Okay, a laptop/desktop with a public IP that *isn't* controlled by all sorts of malware etc. Sometimes I want to use a headset and it's nice to be able to plug in the headset and quickly select it as my audio device without digging down through tons of menus. This is a feature many calling apps leave out. I especially like the quick audio device selection switch. I've used it with a few different SIP providers and never had a problem getting it configured and making calls. I don't use it heavily, but have found it to be a reliable and easy-to-use SIP client that has nice features. I've used the free Blink for quite some time when I started using a Mac. So if you are growing tiered of al those cheap, but not well integrated and feature lacking VoIP apps out there, it’s time to invest so money and switch to Blink Pro! One of the best VoIP apps I ever encountered. The new version was in the app store in a matter if weeks. They are responding very well to my e-mails and have integrated some suggestions I gave. What makes it even better is that Blink Pro is under active development and developed by some of the greatest VoIP experts out there. True Blink Pro isn’t free, you have to pay for it. I am now using Blink Pro for a few weeks and I never look back to all the other VoIP apps I used for my Mac. Blink Pro is the VoIP app for OS X that has it all.Blink also has need features like: “Switch to new audio device when plugged-in” which make using Blink hassle free. Easily show calls and call recordings for a specific contact. History viewer for incoming, outgoing, missed calls and recordings. If you are looking for a solid feature rich and professional VoIP app this is it!This app has a lot of great features like, call recording, multiple accounts, Address Book integration. This is the Ferrari in VoIP applications. Try with the Lite version to be sure it's to your liking. It's early days for the product, but is getting consistently better. The call quality, stats, logging and "uptime" more than compensate. ![]() The UI is overall quite clunky compared to others - for example, the history view needs a little too much interpretation, there's no "redial" and there's no simple hotkey for "quick, dial me a number". The multi-way calling is great, but hold is a little flaky. Compared to the competition, it scores about 98% uptime compared to about 80% for the next-best. This is important to me since I have to rely on this for important incoming calls. Uptime for me is a combination of registration, stay-alives, non-dropped calls and other operations that keeps the phone ready to ring and keeps the call active. Generally, most softphones are great with outbound calls, but Blink Pro wins on incoming call "uptime". ![]() I use this as my main "desk phone" on my Mac after failed attempts with iSoftphone, Zoiper, Telephone and others. ![]()
