Hi all,
VOIP'ing with Android...is this still possible/worthwhile now Skype is blocking Fring?
Why / how?
All comments more than welcome!
i use sipdroid with my google voice/gizmo number
i think skype gives you the number and server info you can put into sipdroid doesnt it?
Nimbuzz works fine with Skype over WiFi, 3G/E (at least in the Netherlands) is slow.. as far as I see, best Skype solution right now..

Is it still possible to get a gizmo number? if so how?
I need VOIP so i can get rid of my blackberry and be able to receive calls in low signal areas that have wifi (ie my HOUSE)
I'm tired of carrying 2 phones to make sure i don't miss calls thanks to the UMA feature on the BB.
lets all file a complain to skype to extend skype rollout to all android devices regardless of carrier (lucky americans on verizon,damn you )
isn't there a way for videocall with skype?

i dont believe so, i signed up for it ages ago when i had my nokia and had forgotten about it, luckily i had it set up before google locked it down, hopefully they'll open it back up eventually
Personally I use SIPDROID with www.voipcheap.com (very very good rates a free call plans). If you want a good selection of DID numbers try www.localphone.com
SIPDROID does some sort of video call, if I recall correctly it is a little strange their method, never used it myself, but there is a demo on their website.

Hi there,
anyone tested "Talkonaut" yet?
It's a VOIP Client which allows you to call your googletalk contacts via voip.
Besides that, you can integrate your existing sip accounts and make voip calls just like in sipdroid.
Just discovered it in the market and made a few tests.
I called a friend over googletalk and he can hear me clearly but unfortunately I can't hear him.
I don't know if it's the program or a wrong setting. I'm able to call the same friend with the windows gtalk client without any problems.
Then, I tried to connect to my gizmo5 account, it kinda works sometimes but very choppy. Sipdroid is better suited for this purpose.
It still seems to be in development, perhaps it gets better in the future
What would be awesome, is if there was a way to use my Google voice account with my g1 but using data and not voice hehe.

Hi,
I am new to this, just flashed my AT&T N1 to CM6 RC3 yesterday and I am exploring everything new. Is there a way to get skype for my N1? I know they have it on Verizon, why no AT&T love? Is there some sort of way to access the verizon android app market to download it?
Please help,
Thanks
No Skype.
You can download Nimbuzz or any other Skype-supporting client.
is it possible that skype for verizon is ported to At&T?

And by any other client, you mean... ???
With Fring having dropped Skype support, I thought Nimbuzz was the only Android client that supported Skype voice, yah?
SIPDroid, I believe, allows Skype calls.
Also Skype Lite, which was dropped by Skype, can still be easily found on the internet.

SIPDroid, I was unaware of. But doesn't Skype Lite just use your minutes instead of data, for voice calls, which makes it kinda worthless?
AFAIK, that is the Verizon Skype, that the OP insists on getting for no good reason I could think of, and Skype Lite is the old version that looks and feels like a regular mobile Skype.

Maybe it feels like a mobile Skype, but it doesn't connect via wifi or 3g data and use my skype credit/subscription to make Skype VOIP to phone calls, or use the network for Skype to Skype calls. It uses your phone's minutes to connect to the Skype network for making calls.

If i need to call friends in USA, on my nexus one in the UK. what are my options?
Google voice would obviously be the best but that doesnt work in UK atm......
Skype is only available on verizon android devices.
Fring has no skype any more and it was laggy anyways.
Thanks in advance
Using what on their side? Mobile? Desktop?
Nimbuzz for Skype.
Fring (with their own client, not through Skype or anyone else) for mobile to mobile.

Sorry, erm mobile usually on the other side (in USA)
Is Fring lag free? or acceptable standards like skype?
Any experience via Nimbuzz for skype?
12voip or nonoh
I am using VOIP services like nonoh or 12voip and sipdroid to call my parents on mobile or fixed networks (they are however in Europe not USA).
You can check and see if you can use these for calling in USA.
Using Nimbuzz for Skype myself, to talk to desktop Skype clients.
Works good, 3G and WiFi.
(but I have good 3G speeds, mostly).
The answer is rebtel
http://www.appbrain.com/app/rebtel/com.rebtel.android
thanks for the rebtel... market search brought up Voxofon. Seems its less fiddly than rebtel?!? well i used it once but my mrs hung up on me thinking i was some prank caller. At least it worked and i emailed her ass to pick up. No need for skype on pc now. B E A UUUUTIFUL
http://www.voxofon.com/mobile.html
i've been using rebtel for quite a while, and its been great.
a bit fiddly to set up, but the result has meant i'm able to call uk mobiles without getting charged.
Just a heads up... new version is out on the market... fully supports inbound and outbound calling VIA Google Voice... pretty slick, basically (TMo) wifi calling without using minutes...
Add the [APP] flag to the title, yo. Good stuff otherwise.

Correct, perfect VOIP wifi calling, its a free app, dl it from the market and create a new account, log in with your google voice credentials... simple.
Can someone please tell me how to use sipdroid? I downloaded it and made a pbxes.org account (with google voice) but when I call on wifi it says call could not be connected and fails. Also can you do 3g voip calling with att because it wont even register with pbxes.org on 3G for some reason for me.

Download SIPdroid
Create new account using Google Voice
Make sure you are connected to a good wifi connection
Make sure the little light in the notification bar is green.
Make phone call
Ok I got it to work, the problem was actually that the phone used a different gvoice account.
What about my question on 3G?

Wow... awesome. Thanks so much!
Just a heads-up; I had to recreate the pbxes account that I already had in order to add google voice.
Toktumi has finally released their Line2 app for android. I've been using it for a couple of months with my iPod touch 4G and love it. I tried it with the G tablet and it fully works. You pay a monthly fee and you get a phone number with unlimited calls and text in the US and Canada I think. Yes you can make and recieve calls and texts using your tablet! Go check it out they offer a 30 day free trial.

Does not show up on Market. Where else can we find the .apk?
Thanks
I think that it's "tOktumi" (http://toktumi.com/)?
Jim
I'm going to check this out
Many of us would like to check it out, but is it showing up in Market for anyone? If so, can someone post it somewhere (free apk)
Thanks
what is the diff between this and google voice?
Google voice lets you send and receive text using your tablet. However, when somebody calls your Google voice number the call gets automatically redirected to the phone number(s) you linked GV to. Line2 gives you a unique telephone number so when somebody texts or calls you, your tablet gets the actual call. Line2 also lets you forward calls to any number but you have to manually set it up in the app preferences.
PM me if you have any other questions.

oh yeah, i forgot about that.. I'm using sipsorcery, sipgate, google voice, and sipdroid.. I don't think sipsorcery allowing new accounts now though..
I basically used these instructions..

Thanks. That is what I thought you must be using it. Sipsorcery is closed for new registration. I can use gtalk to call out and incoming call to my Google number.
Sipdroid works great..... I finally can make phone calls on my gtab...sweeeeeet. Just link it to your google acct. And your done. Thanks guys!

Hi,
I just installed sipdroid, and it created a pbxes.org acct, and I can call out, but called party can hear me, but I can't hear them. Any ideas how to fix this?
Also on the sipdroid website, it has screenshots, showing a dialpad, but I only get 2 text boxes, for # to call, and 'called address'?
Pressing on the icon on upper right, I get an FC.

Answering my 1st question, after establishing a call, I press menu, then 'speakers', and then I can hear.
Also tried w Bluetooth headset, and that worked.
Still no keypad though.

Fyi, I just figured out how to get incoming call working also. What I had to do was go to Google.com/voice, login, and under settings>>phones check the Google chat checkbox. After that incoming calls to my Google voice # come to sipdroid on my gtab. So now I can do both incoming and outgoing calls with sipdroid!

That seems like a separate problem (BT headset connecting), so you might be better off posting a question about that separately, probably in the General forum. I think I've seen some threads about BT connecting there, so you may want to search there 1st. I'm on stock TNT still, but maybe it may depend on which firmware you have also.
