Zoiper is a program for making calls over the Internet. It is a cross-platform app, which makes it a good softphone to be used on different devices.
ZoiPer has free and premium versions (costs 9.99 USD/year or 0.99 USD/month).
Disadvantages of the free version:
no possibility to transfer calls between employees
the app doesn't have push notifications, so you need to make sure it's turned on to receive calls properly.
However, if you purchase the premium features (Combo pack), the app will have push notifications and will allow you to transfer calls.
The app has a 7-day trial period for premium features.
