#4Anyway, nice business. If I'm understanding correctly, you are basically an SIP hosting provider that assumes your clients will use Linphone to connect. Am I correct in this? If so, it's an interesting model, but I think you need to put more effort into clarifying that you are a host, not a security provider. Also, you might want to apply some of that hosting expertise to your website....

So it's a ZRTP SIP provider that uses regular phone number format as the identifier? It strikes me as rather much like OSTN/OSTel, but using a phone-number-looking identifier rather than a username... and if that's the case, the whole ostn stack is opensource/auditable and federated, so I'm unsure of the improvement here, aside from the branding. Heck, I would prefer if they used the OSTN chef cookbooks and contributed back.
EDIT: Nooo! I'm the downer top commenter! I have become all that I am mildly irritated by. To clarify, I like that this service was created, and commend the interest of the devs, regardless of my outstanding questions :)

#7So by registrating I get (1) a number, (2) a password, and (3) a country code. What do I enter as username etc. in Linphone?

In comparison, Signal/TS is free software, but uses novel crypto for text messages. I believe RedPhone/Signal voice is still just ZRTP. RedPhone/Signal will convert the SAS code to two frequently-amusing phrases, whereas LinPhone will just display the raw code.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to use RedPhone with Tor, or to anonymously register with RedPhone, though I could be wrong.

presumably the country code + phone number is your username... but I can't see the tutorial videos while the site is struggling
