Zoiper is available on android and apple but it is slightly different on each. Popular.  
But of course I doubt I am using the ‘latest’.

To think of it correctly,  
you need to make it work with asterisk. Allstar node is just a extension to dial.  
No guide published in ASL that I know of.  
Google is your friend.

perhaps this will get you started

Don’t forget that if you use a firewall, it needs to be ported through it dependent on method.  
Perhaps your router as well.
