Best Softphone for OSX - Period

I am a voip enthusiast and professional consultant specializing in open-standards SIP (voip) solutions for businesses. Since its inception in 2010 I have been a blink user. The blink soft phone is the absolute best soft phone available for OSX period. First order of importance easy-to-use; in terms of usability; its is fantastic. It integrates well with your existing mac contacts; You do not need to be a SIP expert or even have to know what SIP is to use this phone. There are some interesting nuances about this phone you wont find in any other soft phone such as the lack of a dial pad. This unique approach takes a little getting used to but once you are familiar improves your productivity. Its elegant and lacks clumsy features found in your typical soft phone.

I recently upgraded to the professional version which included some essential functionality that I felt I needed. Features like call transfer. In blink lite call transfer is not available but mostly everything else is. I have not really investigated the exact differences in the two products that will be left up to you; but for my needs this soft phone is absolutly the best.

Important must have features inlcuded in both versions are HD voice - high definition g722 outstanding voice quality; Call-Transfer - available only in blink pro important if you need to send a call to your office mate; Chat - both versions offer SIP chat as well as some other advanced chat features if you use the sip2sip.info service provided; Usability - sleek elegant design. Standards-Compliant - works well with most if not all softswitches. Also important to mention that the customer support is really great when it comes to fixing bugs.

Highly recommend trying even the lite version and upgrading as your needs change.

Thanks for a great product.
