OpenITP did an informal usability study of Ostel, CSipSimple, and
Linphone at HOPE X last month:

I'd imagine RedPhone & Signal is seen as a bit more usable than Ostel
with Linphone/CSipSimple, but it also has some known usability issues
(like the prompt to upgrade to a secure call not remembering that
decision for contacts, users forgetting about the prompt [no audio
feedback that it's waiting for a user response]). JackPair requires a
headset and visual feedback which may mitigate this issue.

I'm sure OpenITP would be happy to do a usability study of JackPair
if/once it's out, or if similar devices exist.
