I would like to try this app, but how do you set up a SIP account?

Nice VoIP SIP client but only basic features. Native macOS application! I don't like the subscription to support development. Works well with my Fritz!Box and the Deutsche Telekom.

Telephone is very handy. It is easy to call, the interface is user-friendly. It is very convenient to put on hold or transfer calls. Great for office work. The app is free but there's an option to buy a paid subscription for reasonable price. I like it.

Beautifully minimalist, well designed, and has worked perfectly for me using my Phone Power account. Love the Contacts integration! For the additional 1/2 star the nerd in me would like to see connection info when I'm in a call. Of course call time, but also codec, packets in/out, bit rate in/out, and I'm sure there is a lot more that Alexei could come up with. Also, is there a way to add a plugin into contacts (like Skype does) so that one can make a Telephone call directly by clicking on a number in Contacts?
