If you want something that's more of a Slack/Discord alternative, gajim is receiving a lot of attention and polish lately, with Dino and Beagle as simpler alternatives. Source: almost 2 years ago

I used Pidgin back in the day of AIM and ICQ, but nowadays, for XMPP, there’s Dino and Gajim for desktop and Conversations.im for Android. As far as I know, OTR has been superseded or replaced by OMEMO in most clients. Source: almost 2 years ago

Https://gajim.org/ is a pretty good one. Source: almost 2 years ago

You can get a number from jmp.chat and use an app like Gajim (available on Windows/Mac/Linux). Source: over 2 years ago

On the desktop I use the gajim XMPP client. On my phones I use Conversations and Blabber (the latter is a fork of Conversations), and all messages between clients are encrypted with OMEMO. Source: over 2 years ago

Well I can tell you that any SIP program can do this, one that comes to mind is Linphone. But you do need a provider. Almost all providers deal with UDP. You might be able to find one that transmits over tcp but that’ll be a very small list. TCP isn’t reliable for VoIP, for media anyway. At best you’ll find one that encrypts the signaling over TLS, which is TCP. But audio, even if encrypted too, is done over UDP.... Source: over 1 year ago

Does Linphone (https://linphone.org/) not meet that need of cross platform (website claims versions for all major OS'es) and open source (https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/linphone-desktop)? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Similarly, you can use any SIP (VoIP) provider (e.g. VOIPo Cloud), and configure the SIP account details in your native phone app. This way you will also be able to use a SIP softphone on your computer (e.g. LinPhone on Linux or Telephone on Mac), or even a real SIP phone in your home. Depending on your SIP plan you may or may not be able to make international calls this way. Source: over 2 years ago

I heard on RFD Fonus is using linphone.org to code their service. Source: almost 3 years ago
