They list CSipSimple, Linphone, Ring,
I can comment barely on each.
I'm currrently using Ring.
* CSipSimple, Jitsi, and Linphone: They provide SIP support. SIP is
somewhat old but is similar to telephone communications, although it's
very heavy on the Internet usage. SIP *does-not* connect to telephone
network, but there are services
Heh, the prism-break, lots of good info there.
Canonical’s Ubuntu is not recommended by PRISM Break because it contains
Amazon ads and data leaks by default. GNU/Linux distributions based on Ubuntu
are also currently not recommended due to several other reasons.
Regarding PRISM Break, I don't really recommend using it as basis to see
whether some software is free/libre or not. Just add:

Yes the prism-break site was very interesting. I read through the entire
thread about Ubuntu and derivatives.

Installing it isn't straightforward at all, specially since you need to
create an XMPP account (or any of the other choices offered at first, like
SIP and other stuff I'm supposed to know about as a new user).
Another small issue is that enabling remote co

I just built and installed the Ring Gnome client onto my Parabola setup. No
calls yet, so I dont' know how that part works, but startup was as easy as
would be with skype. My machine-generated number is:

I think libre software is necessary but not sufficient for security. The
Prism Break website is a good resource for privacy, and I think that they do
care about freedom. One th
I'm back on Belenos and have trouble installing Ring; some dependencies not
available or are wrong versions. If you're using ring on Trisquel 7, perhaps

Unless I'm terribly mistaken, I don't remember having dependency
conflicts. In any case, can you tell me what are the conflicting

On the ring page, I chose Ubuntu 14.04 from the drop-down list; the page
showed me the instructions for Debian 8, which I followed. After adding the

page), and I also selected "Ubuntu 14.04", but the instructions changed
accordingly (from "Debian 8" to "Ubuntu 14.04"), I'm using Abrowser
