Pretty sure you can run Jabber in phone-only mode these days. Not sure on the limitations of it though.

Subject: [External] [cisco-voip] Non-jabber based Cisco softphones for iPhone and Android

We are looking for a solution for softphones that are compatible with expressway for both iPhones and android. Jabber is not an option due to Finra & SEC compliance (no instant messaging). Specifically we are looking for a voice app only with no collaboration/presence features. Any suggestions?

Last I tried it still required an IM presence server would entail a large infrastructure cost because even if we disable IM, FINRA would require us to still have archiving done in case it got turned back on.

We run android and ios phone only jabber clients over expressway MRA and
have had a pretty positive experience on it. It runs very similar to phone
only jabber on windows with the major missed feature for us being the lack
of additional lines available on the jabber for mobile.

Thanks, another issue with the jabber client is what you mention. The lack of additional lines. We need something that works more like a softphone and less like an IM client.

With the jabber phone only config, do you still need an IM server, or just the MRA?

We don't have an IM&P server so I'm assuming it isn't needed and you only
need an expressway for remote access. We used the mobile clients internally
on wifi networks before COVID and added that later.

Cool, Thanks. That looks like at the very least a quick and cheap solution.

We also run Jabber without IM&P. In this configuration, Jabber does
not even provide any indication to the user that it could ever
conceivably support IM, which is good, because we do not intend to
support it.
