## What it is
Linphone Android is an open-source SIP-based softphone application for voice and video calls over IP, plus instant messaging and conferencing. It is the official Android client built on the liblinphone cross-platform library, dual-licensed under GPLv3 and a proprietary license.

## Use cases
- make free voice calls over the internet on Android
- video call app using my own SIP server
- open source softphone for Android
- SIP client with instant messaging and presence
- host audio and video conference calls on my phone
- multi-account SIP phone app
- white-label VoIP calling app for Android

## When to choose
- you need a fully open-source, SIP-standard VoIP client on Android
- you want to self-host calling infrastructure with Flexisip or any SIP server
- you need multi-account support, conferencing, and IM in one app
- you want to fork or rebrand a GPL softphone (or buy the proprietary license)

## When to avoid
- you need a closed-source app without GPLv3 obligations and don't want a commercial license
- you need iOS, desktop, or web clients — use the other Linphone platform apps instead
- you need non-SIP protocols like WebRTC-only or proprietary calling stacks
