Hi, Just checked the following softphones: Twinkle, Ekiga, Xlite, Kphone and ALL of them by default listen on port 5060. Also all (but Kphone) allows to manually adjust port number via "System/Settings" kind of dialog.
However I can't think of any practical reason why the phone should not use any other port number?
