Sipdroid review
A focused Android softphone for SIP calling, video, routing, and optional recording.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sipdroid is a free, open-source SIP and VoIP softphone for Android devices. It is aimed at people who want to place internet calls from an Android phone while keeping contacts and dialing close to the device’s native calling experience. The app supports SIP calling, video calling, and integration with Android’s built-in dialer. It can also route calls from Android contacts or its own dialer through VoIP, making it a focused option for personal calling and straightforward mobile SIP use.
Its strongest area is call routing. Sipdroid can select VoIP based on Wi-Fi availability or number prefixes, which gives users a practical way to control when calls use internet calling. Connections can be configured with SIP providers, while PBXes can support hosted VoIP services and SIP trunk management. TLS encryption adds a stated security feature, and optional call recording can save calls to an SD card. These capabilities make Sipdroid more than a basic dialer, while keeping its scope centered on Android and SIP.
The trade-off is platform breadth. Sipdroid is built for Android, so it fits users whose calling workflow stays on that platform rather than teams seeking a broader desktop, browser, or multi-platform softphone environment. Its free model and open-source licensing suit buyers who want to avoid a paid plan and connect their own SIP service. Choose Sipdroid for Android-based VoIP with simple routing and native dialer integration; choose another softphone when wider platform coverage or a broader business communications suite is the priority.
