As am Twilio as the backend with Linphone as softphone client to get started. Easy enough to set up and seems to work fine. Only problem is the lack of push notifications on iOS, inbound phone calls only work when Linphone is the foreground app. Android even has a build in SIP client.

Acrobits Softphone[1] and Groundwire[2] support iOS push notifications. I have found they work much better than Bria[3].

Thanks. Linephone does support push notifications, problem is I don't have a way to tell Twilio to send push notifications since it's not "their" mobile client. Any idea if you can send push notification to an iOS app that isn't yours? As in: Twilio receives a call, how does it (or my server) send a push notification to to, say, Groundwire?
Acrobits registers the SIP account(s) through their server when push notifications are enabled.
I tried Acrobits Softphone today and it works! Thanks for the help!
If you want to pay $0.99 a month, Bria support push notification for SIP accounts on iOS.
