The story

In December 2004, Savoir-faire Linux launched the SFLPhone project.

In November 2009, CIO magazine listed SFLphone among the top five open-source VoIP softphones to watch.

In May 2015, SFLphone was renamed to Ring.

In December 2018, Ring was renamed to Jami to avoid confusion with commercial products also using the English term Ring.

In 2025, TechRadar listed it as one alternative to Skype following its discontinuation.
