Hi All,
In fact, focusing in a SIP app doesn't look like the right approach.
As Scott mentioned, the telephony service has all the bits needed for
supporting SIP, and the natural solution would be to add a SIP account
to the phone, and handle it from the dialer-app with contacts integration.
As an initial approach it could be handled like a multi-SIM phone,
while a next phase should consider prioritized communication channels
per contact so that the phone is able to pick-up the default comm
channel for a contact when the user wants to make a call.
Last time I tried (more than a year ago), I was able to make my ubuntu
touch phone ring showing me an incoming SIP call. However the
communication channel wasn't established probably due to lack of codec
support.
In short: I expect it to be almost there today, but haven't had time
to look at it again (may be it's "ready" to work now...).
Best Regards,
Felipe.

I use Empathy with telepathy-rakia on the desktop for conference calls
and it works great. Since our telephony stack is built on telepathy
anyway maybe we could consider bringing telepathy-rakia into the
phone.
