Free softphone client with click-to-call?

#1 Post by jamiphar » Thu May 03, 2012 2:32 pm

I've been using the X-Lite softphone on my T420s lately, and I like it just fine, but I find myself wishing that it had some sort of click-to-call or phone number recognition feature like Skype has. Does anybody know of a free softphone that can integrate this feature into Windows/Firefox? Even if it just had a context menu option for any 7-10 digit number, that would be better than nothing.

:EDIT: Whoops, probably should've posted this in Off-Topic.

You're using it with an SIP provider right? Back in the days when I used SIP, X-Lite is the only softphone that worked at all under Windows for me. :roll:

That's right. Yeah, thankfully I'm not having too much trouble finding decent clients. In the last week, I've tried Zoiper and PhonerLite, and I know there are quite a few others. :)
