In the past similar questions have been asked and I do not recall seeing
satisfying answers. I am not sure there are good reasons to consider
sip.linphone.org maintained or reliable, but I would be happy to hear from
someone at belladone that it is actively maintained.
In some of the previous problems, the issues seem to relate to the service
having SRV records to point to unusual ports (vs UDP 5060, TCP
5060 and TCP 5061). A peek into DNS reveals:
_sip._udp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 0 100 5060 sip6.linphone.org.
_sip._udp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 10 100 5060 sip1.linphone.org.
_sip._tcp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 0 100 5228 sip6.linphone.org.
_sip._tcp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 10 100 5228 sip1.linphone.org.
_sips._tcp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 0 100 5223 sip6.linphone.org.
_sips._tcp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 10 100 5223 sip1.linphone.org.
_sips._tcp.sip.linphone.org. 3600 IN SRV 20 100 443 sip6.linphone.org.
You say you are using CSipSimple, but my impression is that CSipSimple
is really unmaintained. When was the last release? If the
documentation is not clear, you might file a bug asking for a doc clarification
on whether or not the SRV scheme is supported. If CSipSimple is unmaintained,
then I don't understand a decision to use it.
You might try the linphone app or baresip-studio:

baresip-studio is in f-droid.

We just recently created accounts and it still works for us.

I'm not sure where to ask this but couldn't find a more suitable place... I
realize this list is intended to be about the app but I could not find anywhere
to ask about the free server that is also offered.
Has there been some change in how devices should do registration to the
sip.linphone.org server? There are 3 different accounts on 3 different androids
that all used to register and send/receive texts just fine, but no longer do
so. I'm not sure exactly when it stopped working since the devices sat unused
for some time. The accounts are still working in terms of login to the web
portal so it is not an account problem. But the devices no longer register,
they get "Error while registering - Unauthorized".
All 3 devices are using CSipSimple, is there some setting I need to change to
make this work again?

@JoelBlack, thank you for that. Might I ask what client(s)/platforms you are
using?

@GregTroxel - Looks like I will have to do some digging into logfiles to see
what ports it actually tried to use, or perhaps just try entering those other
odd ports along with the server names...

Yes, it is pretty much abandonware; it is removed from both the playstore and
F-Droid main repo, and the repository on Google Code is no more. I think the
code was last updated on 30Nov2014 and then put up on F-Droid on 21Feb2015. Now
there just seems to be a few f-droid builds in Izzy's archive repo, a code dump
of sorts plus (obsolete) issues list on Github, plus whatever was snagged by
Wayback crawls before Google Code vanished. There's not much surviving
documentation, mostly on Wayback which is probably not complete though a few
wiki items are there.

The stuff from Google Code is gone. Given that it is abandonware I don't expect
a response at Github. I did find some changelog stuff mentioning DNS SRV
support being added at version 0.00-14 which is so old I can't find the source,
but must be before 0.02-02 dated 16Sep2012 (the oldest source in the Wayback
crawls). I do see a checkbox in the app settings for this, which I have marked
so I hope it is suitable. I probably need to check logfiles to see what it did.
However, it DID used to register even at Linphone, so either this feature
works, or else it just wasn't needed at all until recently?
Also, it continues to register with other services, just not Linphone.
This is problematic since the other services don't handle texting, which is
what I used the Linphone service for.

That one's easy - at the time I installed it, it was the ONLY (open OR closed
source) client I could find that was compatible with older devices, and could
handle SIP addresses rather than only phone numbers.
Granted one of the three devices is currently running Pie (formerly Nougat and
then Oreo) so it has more options, but the other two do not - one runs FroYo,
the other IceCreamSandwich, with no further upgrades possible.

These might work for the newest device but not for the older ones.
Linphone requires at least JellyBean and baresip needs at least Lollipop. With
CSipSimple I used to be able to run the same client for all 3 devices, which
reduced user confusion.
