SIP TCP vs UDP with mobile client: awesome results


Yes, I knew that TCP is better for mobile VoIP in terms of battery consumption, but I didn’t know how much better it would be! Yesterday, I replaced UDP with TCP on my Android softphone (Bria) and… Usually by this time (2:20 PM), my cellphone battery would be at 50% charge, but now it’s at 88 percent.

As for voice quality, I don’t notice any difference.
