[kwlug-disc] Favourite free sip registrars?

[Paul Nijjar]

$0/month is certainly a factor. I think this free SIP thing could be a
good complement to a service we offer (disclaimer?) -- a community
voicemail system that gives people a free voicemail box so they can
receive messages reliably.

I think that a phone+wifi+softphone could work for people.
