completely ignoring the obvious, and essentially advising their clients to go from 10 days standby on their iPhone, to a mere 1 day. OnSIP is doing a disservice to the mobile SIP community through misleading and one-sided blog entries like the one bashing APNS. If UDP is so cool and dandy, and noone needs TCP anyways, it's not like they'll suddenly have all those ATA and hardware phones coming in with TCP, is it? An APNS-style solution is superior to SIP/TCP, BTW, and even guys from Sipdroid would agree (they do mention they'd like to piggyback on another TCP connection, instead of having their own), yet the all-knowing OnSIP purposefully discredits APNS due to their own agenda regarding their own costs (and potentially a hidden interest in CounterPath).
Onsip bria for free#
I purchased Bria for iPhone, and was very disappointed by a one-day battery life Groundwire by Acrobits is the only SIP app I can recommend on iOS, since it's the only one (last I checked) that supports APNS and has zero effects on battery life (thanks to APNS).īesides, your response sounds like TCP is so expensive to support that no provider could possibly provide SIP/TCP for free yet how come and have no problem doing exactly just so?
Onsip bria software#
CallCentric provides no estimates, whilst OnSIP purposefully provides inaccurate and unattainable estimates (heard of the recent Kia's "MPG Gate"?), in order to generate sales for the wrong products, namely, SIP/UDP accounts and also SIP software like Bria by CounterPath with no generic APNS support (CounterPath, supposedly, do have APNS available for sale to individual vendors that want a branded softphone, yet somehow OnSIP is too cheap to purchase that one, either). This is almost like asking which car manufacturers have Wifi internet available in the car and, if possible, for free.I think it's more like asking for MPG estimates and for such estimates to be accurate. If you provide a link to another thread/website/etc, please provide a short and succinct summary.Īlso, it is my understanding that when selecting SIP/TCP in a softphone, TCP is only used for SIP registrations, and the actual voice traffic is always carried over UDP is that correct, or would it actually end up being proxied over TCP? (I certainly don't want my voice traffic carried over TCP.)
Onsip bria registration#
CallCentric: only one (most recent) registration per SIP account, only one SIP account per web-account.Īlso, whilst at it, it'll be useful to know which providers let you use the same SIP username/password to register more than one device to receive calls at the same time, and, perhaps, whether they let you create several SIP accounts within one web account.echnique A good read, also look up the research article by Nokia that they reference, "TCP Wake-Up: Reducing Keep-Alive Traffic in Mobile IPv4 and IPsec NAT Traversal", » /files.They also do have a clue on why would people need it. Just as their attempts to lure in Google Voice users to port their numbers over to OnSIP, without ever mentioning that they'll loose SMS support. Of course, as with any vendor, they blame the other parties for their lack of "cooperation" and too-big-and-too-old-to-change attitude, completely ignoring the obvious, and essentially advising their clients to go from 10 days standby on their iPhone, to a mere 1 day, just for the sake of saving OnSIP on their security, software and server costs. They also further promote for people shooting themselves in the foot here: »

They clearly show to have no clue about why would anyone need SIP/TCP at » No TCP support, no mention of SIP/TCP on the website, completely escapes their FAQ! Which providers of SIP accounts support TCP and which don't?


Not everyone has an analogue phone connected to an ATA.
