🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gnome-calls [OPTIONS...] [SIP/TEL URI]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so gnome-calls is a GTK-based dialer, and she serves PSTN and SIP 💅 no cap, both.

For the PSTN side of things she uses ModemManager to talk to the cellular modem. And it's not just phone calls either — she also handles USSD, periodt. 📞

For the SIP side, she uses sofia-sip for the SIP signalling, plus GStreamer pipelines to deal with the RTP payload of audio data. iykyk 🎀

And the vibe? She works on desktops, but she also adjusts to small screen sizes like smart phones and other mobile devices. she's giving main character energy on every screen fr fr ✨
