Softphone for your Desktop or Laptop

Zoiper is a free software telephone that you can install on your desktop or laptop computer.

Generally, we think that hardware telephones are best because we can guarantee that they will work as they should and because they are always switched on, but the Zoiper softphone will work on most computers – especially with a headset.

We have tested Zoiper version 5 and it works well.

You can download it for free from Zoiper
