Bria Solo
What it is
Bria Solo is a softphone for individual users who want to make voice and video calls through a service provider, call server or IP PBX they choose. It does not provide voice or messaging service on its own, so users need a separate calling service or system. Calling accounts are configured in a web portal, which stores settings for use across devices. The paid plan includes HD voice and video, call transfer and forwarding, auto answer, recording and call history. Bria names Asterisk, FreePBX, sipgate and onsip as example integrations, and supports contacts from Google, Microsoft Outlook, iOS and Android. The free plan allows one device and one SIP/VoIP account, limits weekly calls and is for personal, non-commercial use. The paid plan is listed at $2.95 a year, billed $35.40 per year on an annual plan, with taxes not included. The product is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. CounterPath advertises a 21-day trial without a credit card; its pricing note also lists a 14-day trial.
