Using Smart VOIP in Ubuntu

I was trying to use Smart VOIP to make calls. But as I am on Ubuntu most of the time I was trying to get a solution for it other than logged in from Windows. Here is something I found ultimately.


Please note that I did this on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine.
Here we go:
1) Download and install Linphone from http://www.linphone.org/ or you can simply use Ubuntu Software center.


2) Open Linphone. You can find this under, Applications --> Internet --> Linphone


3) Then select, preferences from Linphone menu. Go to "Manage SIP Accounts". Click Add button and enter following details.

  • Your SIP identity: sip:<smart_voip_userName>@.com. eg: yourName@smartvoip.com
  • SIP Proxy address: sip:sip.smartvoip.com
  • Keep other settings as is and click 'OK'
That's it! We are done! 

Enjoy your calls to loved or non-loved once! :-)
