Sip client with Bluetooth for Android

Today we will talk about the application for IP telephony, namely about the Android sip client for the calls via Bluetooth headset. By default, in the Android 4.0 and higher, the sip client is built into the phone part, which is very convenient and does not require any additional software. This mode works through the regular phone dialer, and it has all the same functions as when calling via mobile communication. In addition, it supports calls via Bluetooth headset. Nevertheless, in some countries, the firmware in smartphones do not have this function, and then we have to use third-party software.

Choosing the program

The problem is that not all third-party clients support calls via the headset, and for some users, this is a very important criterion when choosing the application.

In this article, we want to talk about the “CSipSimple” program, which supports Bluetooth headsets. It has simple settings and it is distributed for free in the Google Play, what advantageously differs it from other similar applications.
