SIP-based calling

Motorola / Lenovo has purposely removed SIP support from the native dialer. This is a part of Android that Motorola has removed. Even though you should be able to use the native dialer to make VoIP SIP calls, you cannot because of this decision by Motorola / Lenovo to take away your freedom.
