Eyebeam. Basically the paid version of Xlite. Works great.

Acrobits works great on the iPhone.

Another vote for Eyebeam...

I've been playing with different softphones a bit lately. Anything I've tried seems to work. Here are some of my favorites so far:

Windows:

• 3CX - easy to set up and use, same look and feel as Android is a plus in my mind
• X-Lite

Mac OSX:
I'm just starting to use the Mac clients, so I don't have much to report on them yet.

• X-Lite
• Express Talk

Android:

• CSipSimple - noticed some issues with voice quality of receiving end, may be WiFi related, though
• 3CX - had some trouble with sending DTMF tones to VOIPo voicemail (the main reason I use a soft phone on my cell phone). If not for that, this would probably be my preferred Android softphone.

Regarding 3CX on android, try this:
under Other Settings -> Advanced -> DTMF Method, select Sip-Info from drop-down, save and restart.

Although X-Lite works well for plain phone calls, the dialpad seems to be disabled once the call is completed. So I cannot select needed options on my voice-mail to retrieve messages. I'm trying Zoiper and will try QuteCom. Perhaps I'll give Express Talk a try, too.

Just tried Express Talk, and found that it is VERY SLOW to respond to inputs. Maybe it's the speed of my computer, but it does not work at all acceptably for me.

Strange - I am using X-Lite mainly for checking messages (and used to for getting through bank IVR, but now it's all online, of course). Never experience disabled dialpad...

I too have used X-Lite and never had an issue with the dialpad.
