iSIP may have heard your comments about push service, credentials and private networks.
They now allow installation of their push server on a private network.

Skype now is available for iPhone, and it's said that it worked great, so I think you may count Skype.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I didn't get a notification you'd commented.

There are two reasons I've not included Fring in this list:
1. It's a Swiss-Army Knife. The company I work for as my primary job doesn't particularly like open public IM clients being used inside the corporate LAN; having gone so far as to block a few of the services. I need a purpose built SIP client, not one where SIP is an after-thought.
2. Fring doesn't have good support for configuring SIP parameters. It allows you to provide a username and password along with the SIP server name. I need to be able to specify a domain name different than a proxy address, as an example.

Thanks for commenting!

Well, what about Fring? Have you tried it?

Interesting and well researched article. What you describe is the need to use wi-fi without interruption from cellular. I agree that Apple eventually needs to allow integration with the native dialer, but one answer is not an iPhone at all, but to use an iPod touch. You can run iSip or Skype or any of these VoIP clients without cellular, and you will still have music, video, games and other apps. This requires you have a basic phone for cell calls, of course, but you can always forward that number to your VoIP client when you are connected. As a bonus, you'll also avoid AT&T's contract requirements.

iSip can do it, if you allow it to upload your account credentials to their server (this of course implies that your SIP server is reachable from the internet - outside of your corporate LAN).

I wasn't comfortable with the security risk I'd place on my company to allow account information to be placed on an external server, so I didn't test the push notification functionality.

Of course, as I mention, it's all quite moot given the preference of the circuit (cellular) connection over the data connection.

What about being able to receive a SIP call when the application is not running?
