Collanos Phone Linux

Collanos Phone is a software-only Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone and a multi-protocol instant messenger combined in one application. The software provides several essential features such as audio and video calls, instant messaging, and the ability to communicate transparently with existing Jabber, MSN, ICQ, AOL, and Yahoo! networks.

One of the most significant advantages of Collanos Phone is that it is available in versions running on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux, following the Collanos multi-platform strategy. The basic features of Collanos Phone are available at no cost, while additional premium features will be rolled out.

The software’s primary attributes include three-way conference calls, which make it ideal for use in business meetings. It also comes with an instant messenger integration feature, connecting users with existing IM networks, such as AOL, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! and Jabber.

Collanos Phone is based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) standard, a popular worldwide de-facto standard for VoIP solutions. The instant messenger part uses the popular Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) standard and integrates with existing proprietary IM networks in parallel.

The phone is governed under the General Public License (GPL) and based on numerous pre-existing open-source components. It has undergone a beta program to demonstrate the robustness of its features, and users are encouraged to report their experiences to help improve the software.

Feedback is highly valued and valuable to both Collanos and the entire Collanos user community, and users can report their findings on the Phone forum: / index.php#9. A guide is also provided to help users navigate through the application better.
