video calls from pc - Networking

is this possible in uk.
eg call a 3g mobile and have video call from a pv

when do you mean ?
do you want to call a 3g phone with your 2g phone and do a video call ?
do you want to call a 3g phone with your pc and do a video call ?
do you want to use wifi to connect to the internet on your network
and access a 3g phone that way ?

33g calls
I need to make a 3g video call from a PC and record the video on a PC.
Also recive a 3g video call on a PC and record the video.

well
much like you cant just call a normal cellphone over the internet without some sort of portal like skype
you cant do it with 3g
maybe when skype or a service like it do a skype out/in with video streaming you could do it
another way would maybe be a pcmcia 3g card if it have software which support video calls too

Stupid question time:
Can a device such as the Xda Exec offer its Mobile Phone (shall we call it) 'capabilites' as a 'service' over say Bluetooth or USB or whatever?
If it could and this service set up on a COM port, then any connected PC (or whatever) could then connect to and then use this service and hence do as requested? ....
Or am I completely off track here?

not sure about exec but as i understand
the other older htc devices seem to have their
pda and gsm modules somewhat devided
which is one of the reasons software answering machines dont seem to be able to work on them
so i'm not sure if it's possible for the device to redirect a audio/video stream to the in the case with the exec it's UTMS module
or gsm module if we talk about old 2g devices
but i'm not sure this is the case with the later modules with 2.5G and 3G
and before long i guess video calls with messenger will be possible with
3g phones and or skype
and when such programs are more real general programs streaming audio and video to and from the device running those applications would be much more easy to handle

These services aren't available in the UK yet.
It is offered by SingTel...

I think there would be far more demand for Fixed to Mobile video calling than the current Mobile to Mobile offering.

Isn't it more the case that the functionality wasn't in the Microsoft API's rather than the fact that that Windows Mobile is not a realtime OS so dual processors are needed to run the radio and OS independently?
The reason for me thinking this is that you can use Wireless Modem.

Using your HTC Wizard to dial out on a analog phone line or Tiscali DSL Phone

Hi guys,
I want to use my HTC Wizard to call out on the "normal" or DSL phone line when I am at home. This beacause all phone calls to all national non mobile numbers are free.
My PC is connected to the DSL Modem (ZYXEL P-2602HW-D1A) and with a modem connected to the phone out put of the modem and to the normal analog line.
Is there any one who has experience with this?

The answer is likely to not be as easy as you expect, although it may not be that hard.
Your modem may or may not work, when you do voice over a modem the modem needs to know this and not demand a carrier tone and other things that signal a data connection. Some modems are known to work in this capacity others are known to work very poorly (lots of echo) and others are known to not work at all. The majority of modems are not known whether or not they will work at all.
In short the easiest way to accomplish this task is to send data from your phone VoIP to your PC. There are free clients out there such as sjphone from sjlabs.com. You will likely want a headset on your phone as most dont use the same speaker as a regular phone call but instead the speakerphone and echo cancelation doesnt work well (the remote side will hear echo without headphones).
Now that your phone is taken care of you need something on the other side. Here you have choices. If you have a compatible modem you can use that as an FXO card with software like asterisk.org and soon freeswitch.org. If you do not have a compatible card, or do not wish to run VoIP software on your PC you can get an ATA that has an FXO port and lets you route calls to/from it. Grandstream.com has some, the HT486 comes to mind. I believe the linksys pap2 will also do this. Ebay may be your friend in locating a fairly cheap one, although they arent that expensive - and you are doing this to save money so depending on the number of calls you make it may pay for itself soon
Once you have this set up, you can actually choose to call people via your mobile plan or landline or even an internet based telephone company. Depending on how well you configure everything, you could in theory have it use all of those things, and you can even route calls from those services to your phone (ie get phone numers all over the world and answer them on your mda when you have internet).
All your mda needs is wifi/usb/gprs. And for those providers that block VoIP on gprs shame on you (and they generally dont block vpn traffic or even know what the contents of that are
Port restricted Cone NAT
Thanks for your support.
The WIFI way with a direct connetion to my Modem will do for now, but I have got the following problem there.
The error that is displayed is the following:
NAT/Firewall: Port Restricted Cone NAT
The settings which I have entered are the same as in my Modem:
Zyxel: P-2602HW-D1A
Provider Tiscali
Anybody who knows how to solve this or who has experience with VOIP provided by Tiscali or other ISP using your HTC Wizard

Voip application help needed please

I would like to use my MDA vario 2 to make voip calls over wifi when I am at home. I have an allowance with my ISP that I never really use because the microphone on my laptop isnt great and using headphones isnt much better. I think I should be able to use my device to make these calls when my allowance is available.
I have xlite on my laptop but cant get this for my device. I have tried downloading wifive323 but it wont download this properly either.
I have previously installed skype and used it succesully but this wont allow me to do what I need - I need something that will let me dial out using my current broadband service to ordinary numbers as I have the allowance already.
Can anyone help. I am pc literate but not to the level of lots of you techies.

GPRS (data) calls between WM6 phones

Hello all,
This is my first post here...I have a TYTN, and am looking at ways to call another tytn phone(or any wm6 actually) through gprs, so to use the charge per meg and not the phones charge per minute. Ive tried with Fring and skype mobile, both give terrible delays. Is this at all possible through GPRS/EDGE? (I dont enable 3G cos local provider having issues atm).
Is there no specific application for two WM6 phones to communicate using GPRS? Can anyone recommend any other applications to test?
Thanks in advance,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I been looking and didnt find anything..

Read it from Skype.

Yes, you do need 3G for Internet calling. However, you can always turn to Wifi for Internet calling. Regardless you have WM5 or WM6, GPRS/EDGE just doesn't have enough bandwidth for VoIP.

EDGE has plenty of bandwith for VoIP, in particular if you use GSM codec. Just the latency isn't great, but it will do.
So if Skype doesn't work, consider SIP.
gprs dont connect 2 phones
it's only a internet connection
it's transparent to both devices if
they talk to a phone or a pc
the only way 2 phones maybe can talk data with eachother is the
old data gsm which is limited to 9600Kboud which is much much slower then even gprs
SIP internet calling etc
Can someone help me please. You know the internet calling option on WM6, how for the love of money do you use it. I got skype which i use but i got no idea what this internt calling option is for because i dont know how to use it. HELPPPPPP PLEASEEEEEe
Internet calling is for using witha SIP server such as FWD or an inhouse Asterik/LCS box.

UMTS and phonecalls together

I searched this forum, but found no answer to my following question:
I have a Hermes with WM6.
A coworker also wants to buy this device (or similar), but had one question I couldn't answer::
Is it possible to use a WM6 device as a modem for my laptop to use UMTS (3G) or GPRS and still be able to receice phonecalls?
I never used this sollution, so I wasn't sure.
He needs to use the device as a wireless modem very often, but is afraid that he loses phonecalls during this time.
Has anyone an answer to this?
thanks
Martijn
hi.... depending on the network. say, some networks setup by ericcson have a bug, as i am told.
You can connect to 3g/gprs. However, if you make a call or receive a call, if you have a data transfer happening simultaneously, it will stop. Your connection will not break. But whatever you were doing will sieze. You can resume your internet activity once the phonecall ends.
If you have a network setup by one of the other players like nokia siemens, then you will not have this problem
@mirage22
I don't realy follow you. You say that it depens on the network, but speak of Nokia, Ericson and Siemens. Do you mean this will work with Nokia,..etc phones and not with the hermes (TyTN)? Or is it dependent of the network provider (Like T-Mobile/Vodaphone)?
It seems to me that if you have a 3G connection, it's still possible to place and receive phonecalls. Just like receiving an sms. That's also possible when in a phonecall..
Isn't this something a lot of people do every day?

HD2 and Voip Solutions

Hello guys! I have been trying to make internet calls with my new HTC HD2, and so far I have not managed to make it work properly.
Actually after testing PortSip I almost got it, but the problem I have with this software is that my voice is not being heard at all/clear enough. I can hear the person I'm calling very well, without delays, but they can not hear me. I tried using BT headset, normal headset, and without headsets for the same result, not being heard.
Could it be that the microphone is set too low? is there any way to increase it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thnx.
I use PortSip without any such problem....
Try fring as an alternate solution...may work for you...
Are you connecting to your own VOIP server? If so, make sure that the correct ports are open.
I had the same problem with portsip. I find Agephone to work nicely, only problem with it not being able to direct sound to the earpiece so you will need some software that does that instead.
After a lot of testing, I'm still in the same situation. I'd be great to make voip calls to work. I am certain there's some settings in windows mobile (codecs maybe) that my voip provider don't like, and therefore calls drop.
My voip provider is Saunalahti (Finland) which actually rents the gsm network from Elisa.
I am trying making calls from two different voip accounts, calling other voip numbers and normal gsm numbers. I am using one HD2, one TYTN and a Softphone that Saunalahti offers.
The only way that the calls work is calling from the softphone in the PC, no problem there. I have audio both ways and calls do not drop.
If I call from:
wm to PC, call drops (lasts 2 sec)
wm to wm, call drops (lasts 2 sec)
wm to gsm, connects but the other person can not hear me
One wm is using 3G and the other is using WIFI. port 5060 is open in the registry.
Like a said earlier, I have tried different programs, but it's the same scenario.
Any idea on what the problem actually is? thnx i nadcance.
Hi guys,
I am interested in VoIP calling with my HD2. I don't know much about this, and I would like to be able to use it when I travel to Mexico next month. I know that Blackberry's have UMA technology or soemthing like that to make WiFi calling for free back to the states. Will this PortGo/PortSip program do the same thing if I use the free version, or buy the Professional version?
