Bria Solo is a platform with mobile and desktop apps for calls. Unlike most SIP apps, you need to create an account on the Bria Solo platform and enter the SIP settings there before you can use the app. You use the login and password from this platform in the app itself.
Please note, Bria Solo has both free and paid versions. By default, CounterPath (the developer) offers 21 days of free trial to new users, and you can decide whether to buy a subscription or switch to a free version after that.
The Bria Solo softphone is developed based on X-lite and will have the same features in the free version.
