Download and configure your Free X-Lite soft-phone

X-Lite is a free soft-phone distributed by Counterpath.

When X-Lite is compared to it’s commercial version “Eyebeam” there are 2 main differences when both soft-phones are compared and it is basically the fact that X-Lite only accepts one (1) SIP account to be configured per each softphone.

On the other hand Eyebeam commercial version allows unlimited SIP accounts to be setup and configured on each softphone, in fact the call center agents only need one account to receive calls on their extension.

A downside of X-Lite is that premium audio codecs are not available in this free softphone version. While X-Lite has many audio codecs installed by default, the premium audio codec G729 is not offered.

In case the internet bandwidth is low on the call center end and it demands more internet power the codec G729 comes handy because it compresses the audio to 8kbps saving huge amount of bandwidth.

If you still don’t have a softphone to start making VoIP calls you can start by downloading X-Lite softphone here.
