'''Session Initiation Protocol (aka SIP)'''

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol SIP] is a service that provides Voice Over Internet Protocol connection for calling single or multiple party calls through the use of our own MF/PL servers. This service is very similar to Skype as it provides the ability to have both voice and video communication. With the use of cross platform software like [https://www.linphone.org/ Linphone] (suppports Android, Blackberry and IPhone) you can begin using our [https://support.mayfirst.org/wiki/freeswitch Freeswitch] server for making your own calls and conferences.
