thanks! do i need a hotmail plus account?
it says i need one in the description
does it also have today plugin thing?
i installed the demo, but i can't seem to find the program. its like i never installed it.
Pocket MSN no longer works on my Cingular 8125. I don't know exactly when it stopped working, but it may be since I upgraded using the 2.17 ROM from Summiter. I didn't really use it much and can't be sure if that's the reason. I'll see if it starts working again after I've upgraded with the official Cingular ROM.

PS--Yes, everything else connects over EDGE and WiFi.

I read a post by smachine detailing how to do this a few weeks back and it seemed so simple, I thought I'd try it. And it was! I wish I had done this months and months ago; unlimited calling over wifi and 3G, so easy! His original post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8813244&postcount=18
This is so awesome I thought I'd start a new thread on this for others to see, and make a little guide out of it for easy reading / bulleted-format. The entire process should only take around 15 minutes. Here goes:
[Edit 11/23]: Added CSipSimple setup info and link for Sipgate setup
--------------------------------------------------
Get a SIP Account:
A) Purchase a Gizmo5 account (eBay around $5 to $10). (I purchased from buildfruitkit.)
B) [Edit 11/23]: Or try a free SipGate account (Note: I haven't tested this but might be worth a try before buying a Gizmo5 account.)
Log into https://my.gizmo5.com -> Change email -> Change password -> Write down your Sip Number
On PC: www.google.com/voice -> Voice Settings -> Add another phone
Name: SIP
Number: Your Sip Number (no "1" beforehand)
Phone Type: Gizmo
Save
Verify the number (click Connect, it will call, Sipdroid will ring, enter the two numbers)
You now have free incoming calls! Yay!
On phone: Download CSipSimple OR Sipdroid from the Android Market:
CSipSimple (Seems to be better than Sipdroid) [Added 11/23]:
Open app. Wait for files to download
"Easy Configuration" Screen:
"Integrate with Android": Leave checked
Availability Profile: Choose based on preference
"I'm allowed to use mobile": Check this if you want to call over 3G
Add Account:
Select Sipgate or Generic Wizards -> Basic
Account name: Anything (I put "Gizmo")
User: Your full sip number (including 1 beforehand)
Server: proxy01.sipphone.com
Password: Your Gizmo password
It should show up in the accounts list as Green and Registered
Sipdroid:
Open App -> Settings -> SIP Account
Authorization Username: Your Sip Number (including a "1" beforehand)
Password: Your Gizmo password
Server or Proxy: proxy01.sipphone.com
Username or Caller ID: Your Sip Number again (including a "1" beforehand)
Port: 5060
Settings -> Advanced Options
Use STUN Server: Check this box
STUN Server name: stun01.sipphone.com
STUN Server port: 3478
(Optional: if you find calls too quiet) Sipdroid -> Settings -> Audio/Video -> Earpiece Gain -> High or Highest
For outgoing calls, download "Google Voice Callback FREE" from the Android Market (no need to purchase Gizmo5 credit)
A) Sign in with your Google username/password.
B) Choose your callback number (select Gizmo), and select "Ask every time" or "Always (when possible)" based on your preference.
Calling:
A) Incoming calls: These should be routed through CSipSimple/Sipdroid (as long as the app is running).
B) Outgoing calls: Use the stock dialer. GV Callback Free should pop up -> Tell it to call you back. This will make it act as an incoming call just like A)
Hope this helps others out there.

I used to have this plan before they even had a month-to-month version of this data only plan. If you sign up for a 2yr version of it you also can get a AAA 15% discount (you can't get this on a month to month plan) so that you only pay $34/mo data only.
Im im UK...can i get free calls over wifi/3g?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Hey Paul, Do I only have free incoming calls when someone calls my sip number only ? or is it my tmo number and google voice numbers also.
Glad the guide is helping out people. Feels good knowing I helped out on these threads, as I have learned so much stuff here over the past month.
I used GV call free app, however lately the program sometimes doesnt dial out. Has anyone found an alternate callback app that works almost 100% of the time? I say that there was another app called google voice callback free, I might give that a shot.

Its only the google voice number. If you have an incoming call and are in a bad data connection area/ no wifi you can press the back button and you can take the call using the tmobile network (as long as you set up call forwarding of your google voice number to tmobile number). You should just start telling all your close contacts your new google voice number. This sipdroid setup has been great for when i go to my relatives house who has next to 0 tmobile reception, I can just connect to wifi, and my then gets full reception. I used to really want tmobile UMA wifi calling, but now there is no need with this setup.
one question ,does it work if u make international calls or just the local call or us only....

I actually finally got around to setting this up on my phone on Thursday using pretty much the same setup - great minds must truly think alike and all that jazz. I also installed the hacked sipdroid client from the author of Google Voice Callback Free, which allows the callback to be automatically answered by sipdroid. I don't have a great need for voip calling over 3g, so I took it a step further and established a Tasker profile to automatically set the third-party callback setting to "always if internet available" when the wifi state is connected, and left the app's setting on "Never". The Google voice app is still set to handle all outgoing calls, so calls happen as standard gvoice voice calls over the cellular network unless I have an active wifi connection, in which case they are voip calls.
Super easy and fully automated, and completely transparent to the party on the other end.

Where did you find the hacked sipdroid client? Same settings as the normal sipdroid version? What exactly is the difference of the hacked client, is it just so you avoid having to swipe up during the callback?

Free calls to your Google Voice number. Your GV # will forward to your SIP number (or your T-Mobile number if you want). Don't worry, you don't need to give out your SIP number to anyone.

Yeah, I def wouldn't have known about this. Thanks of course.
I tried the GV Call Free app and yeah, it would never connect for me. That's why I switched over to Google Voice Callback. That one worked right away for me.

Yep, that's the one. The author says it was hacked to allow the Gvoice Callback app more access to the sip client under the hood. The main difference is the ability to auto-answer a callback from your Google voice number. It is based on an older version of sipdroid, but it seems to work beautifully for me.

Does the older hacked version of sipdroid cancel the default tmobile ringing when the call is answered (Google voice number is forwarded to ring standard tmobile network)? I believe that feature was added on the newer versions. It would be kind of annoying to answer a call on sipdroid with the stock tmobile dialer still ringing.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I haven't had any issues with redundant incoming calls - though I do often see missed calls registered when I answer with sipdroid. I'm not sure there's anything that can be done with that aside from changing the phone preferences under the Google voice web app. If it is set up to ring both numbers, both numbers will likely still ring.

The current setup i have right now is that I have both sipdroid on, along with google voice forwarding my gv number to ring my original tmobile number. When I get an incoming call the sipdroid comes up first and is ringing, if i take the call then sipdroid shuts off the google voice-tmobile forwarding ringer. With old versions of sipdroid there would be a dual ringer problem, meaning if i answer the call through sipdroid the phone would continue to ring because google voice forwarding to mobile number wouldnt recognize that the call has already been answered. The reason i keep the forwarding to mobile still on is that I can pick whether to do a voip call or a standard tmobile network call if im in a area with bad data coverage.
So I wanted to check "locate my phone" feature of moto blur and went to the web site (https://portal-blur.svcmot.com/blur-web-portal), but could not remember my password.
I did a reset password through my laptop and changed it and logged in to the portal. But now that password is changed, phone throws up an error saying my blur password is wrong. I click on the notification to enter the new password, but the damn thing shows me the password change option with old password, and 2x new password instead of just the "enter new password" screen.
How am I going to enter my new password to this stupid blur?

Motoblur and Google asks u to relogin whenever u inset a different sim on the phone....so try putting a different sim (doesnt matter which network) relogin again .... it should work...
Not the best solution but should work..
Remove SIM card and connect via WiFi

Good idea -- that worked...
I was having the same problem.. Changed my Motoblur password (had forgotten the old one) online, then when the Atrix notified me of the password change, I got sent to the wrong screen. Changing the password here required entering the password I'd forgotten.
This procedure works on my wife's Motorola Cliq 2 - takes me to a screen that only asks to enter the new password. But my Atrix doesn't seem to do that.
I turned off the phone and extracted the SIM card -- I did not have another card handy to install, so I connected to a nearby open WiFi network. Motoblur locked the phone, and when it asked me to log in, I used my account name and the NEW password to log in, and it worked. I got one last notification about the password change, but I cleared it and moved on.
Everything seems to be OK at this point. Not the most elegent solution, but it did work for me (for now, anyway.)
I did the same thing. I had another sim card but it was a European operator card and I certainly did not want to rack roaming data for stupid blur So I waited until I went home, removed the sim, booted the phone, entered the new password, inserted old sim, rebooted the phone, re-entered the password yet again.
Deep from my heart I want to say "Idiots!" to people who coded this whole blur thingy at Motorola.
Thanks for the answers both of you by the way : o)
Looks like Motorola may be aware of the following issue (and may have attempted to fix it).
Their support site (Answer ID 63006) states: "You will need to type your new password in all three boxes, "Old Password", "New Password", and "Confirm Password".
I tried doing the following multiple times and had no luck. Finally found this thread and did what was suggested and all went well.
Had to turn the phone off/pull the back cover, battery & sim off/turn it on without sim/turn it off/turn it on with sim/re-enter my Motoblur username/password and it worked like a charm.
Does any one know how to make the MMS work?
I dont see a place to input the info on the straight talk activation instructions.
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
I was only able to find the place to input the APN (att.mvno) doing this made the internet work.
So when I get a pic mail my phone shows me the text from it and tries to download it. But it fails. says Invalid MSISDN Number Received.
SMS works fine.
Sprint Touch Pro 2 TP2 Windows mobile 6.5. I have the Wall mart straight talk $15 sim card (bring your own phone) plan. I put it in the sim card slot on my Sprint TP2 and went through the steps to enable the phone to use GSM towers in the states. Calling works. But internet is only on EDGE (slower then sprints 1X) I think that is all the phone is capable of with the GSM raido it contains.
I searched the registry and found something like Http://mms.sprintmms.com changed it to http://mmsc.cingular.com and that did not work.
I dialed ##778# and hit view. there is nothing in there that looked related.
I went to start, settings, connections, connections, manage existing connections, and deleted what was there and maid a new one called Data and put att.mvno as the Access point name but there is no place to enter the mms settings in there.
I have searched google for hours and days. I give up. Some one out there has got to know the answer. Can you help?

In your MMS app, go to menu>MMS options>servers>add new server. If it's greyed out you have to do a reg edit in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>MUI and look for "enable server edit" and change the DWORD to "1" After you change that, go back to the MMS options and "add new server" with the following data:
Server - Straight Talk MMS
Gateway - 66.209.11.33
URL - http://mmsc.cingular.com
Port - 80
Connect Via - Whatever you named your connection previously.
When you're done make sure you set that as your default server. I'm doing this from memory so I may have missed a step or the reg edit key may be named differently on the Sprint TP2. BTW, the Sprint and Verizon TP2 only supports EDGE speeds on the AT&T bands. 3G is for the AWS (1700) band like T-Mobile, HTC really screwed the pooch on that one.
Nice thank you very much for your help. My mms works now. I cant believe I did not think to check in my mms program for the place to enter the settings.
I did have to change the registry value to a 1 to gain access to the greyed out button. It was in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>UI>
Now if I can only get the mms and the sms time to be correct. Do you know any thing about that? My friend can be sitting next to me and send me a sms that I get instantly but the incoming time on the message shows totally wrong. It was like this when I was on Sprints service also. I flashed stock 6.1 and 6.5 and neither fixed it. I have Since or Touch Flow or what ever its called turned off. Just running basic home screen Spb Pocket plus 4.1.0, Spb Phone Suite 1.3.1, Garmin, Pocket shield and some other basic programs. I have a faint memory that out of the box this was not a problem. It may have been after I flashed and installed that it started. But then why did flashing back to stock not fix it? I have never flashed anything other then stock.

So you say that I can get 3G if I get the Wallmart Straight Talk sim card that uses Tmobile? Wow I will try that. My brother just ordered one from Straight talk for his T mobile branded TP2. I will try it in my phone. T mobile has almost as good of reception here on the big island of hawaii as AT&T does.

See, I didn't buy the Walmart ST SIM. I went straight to their website (straighttalkgsm.com) and got an AT&T SIM. I know you have the choice of T-Mobile or AT&T but I think it depends on the area code you will be using. As for the time stamp issue, that sounds more like a software bug than a carrier issue. Just for ****s and giggles, did you enter the proxy info in your connections? I know when I use the proxy info, mobilespeedtest.com reports my ISP as AT&T-Cingular, when I go without the proxy it lists my ISP as "shared block". Whatever that means. Google Maps also locates me faster when I have the proxy info entered. Of course, when I have to tether, I un-check proxy settings. BTW, you didn't hear that from me.

I know when I use the proxy info, mobilespeedtest.com reports my ISP as AT&T-Cingular, when I go without the proxy it lists my ISP as "shared block". Whatever that means. Google Maps also locates me faster when I have the proxy info entered. Of course, when I have to tether, I un-check proxy settings. BTW, you didn't hear that from me.

Wow checking the proxy box and putting in 66.209.11.33 does change my results from Shared IP Block to At&t. And it is 4 times faster.
I was getting a consistent download speed of only 77 Kbps and 1.1 Latency
Now I get 295 down and 2.1 Latency.
Im testing some data intensive websights now. Ok they are much faster now. All most as fast as my week reception sprint EVDO revA phone tethered to my router. The only thing sprint has over ST is that sprint does not throttle me until 30 gigs. And I have read that with the AT&T ST sim people are not getting away with much. DSL just came to my part of the jungle so I got rid of my sprint plan. I have no need to tether so much now.
I edited out my confusion from the above posts. It looks like I will never have 3g on the t-mobile or AT&T sim card on my TP2. Here is a link to some supportive reading about why 3G will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561656
One more thing I can send and receive Hotmail but cant send and receive Yahoo. When I try it says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. Settings". Then If I uncheck proxy it works but then I have to go back later to re check and put in 66.209.11.33 to get my faster speed back. Why can Hotmail do it but Yahoo can not?
I had the same problem and all I did was flash a new radio which helped with signal.
Just for fun I put a T-mobile sim card from T-mobile in my TP2. My Edge internet was very slow. So put in the proxy that Straight talk gives there users with T-mobile sims and it was still very slow. Super slow compared to using the Att proxy with the ATT ST sim in my TP2.
One interesting thing I noticed is that this sim had many more electrical contact points on it and it automatically set up the correct MMS setting for me. In comparison the ST sim card had lass contact points and I had to enter the MMS manually my self.
This TP2 Im using this week is bone stock out of the box and it is not handling daylight savings time correctly when putting the time stamp on the sms. I bet there are many good threads about fixing this I have not yet searched.

Simple the settings for the Hotmail account where correct and the ones for yahoo where not.
So this was an easy fix. I click on my sms program. click menu, tools, options, click on my yahoo account, edit account setup,next,next,next, next,advanced server settings. So in here is where i had it wrong. It was on my old internet settings so I changed "network connection" to "internet" that way it will even sync my email using wifi if its on and has internet, instead of needlessly requiring to dial up over the cell data connection.
I tryed this change in the MMS settings also but my MMS wont send so I had to change it back to the cellular data connection.
So I just picked up a sprint G2 off craigstlist and have finally gotten the sim card working, recognized, all that jazz. However, MMS doesn't work at all... I'm sure I put in the tfdata apn correctly (using an app that links to the apn settings, which I couldn't find), but data works. MMS does not. It's confusing. Anyone have suggestions?

Same for me in Canada on the Bell network. Tried Hangouts and Textra, no luck. I couldn't find a hack or workaround.

Found a trick that worked. If you press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, this menu will pop up. Depending on your ROM, choose the "reboot" or "Shut down and restart" option... My SMS now works flawlessly. And if anyone wants to know how to use a sprint lg g2 on straight talk GSM (or art or whatever), feel free to ask questions. I now have working MMS, calling, 3g data, texts, GPS, WiFi, NFC, and 10x1 shimano 105 drivetrain.

Reset didn't work for me, but I got it working. Here's what I did...
In the dialer press ##443336772# -You will get a 6 digit SPC code, remember this
In the dialer, press ##DATA# -This will take you to hidden Data settings
Select MMSC
Hit Edit -You will be prompted for your SPC code (Get this wrong twice and your phone will shut off)
You now have 3 options -Set URL, Gateway, and Set Port. These are all set by Sprint. My Port was ok but URL from my APN settings was not used! Now, set your URL (EG. mine was http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc)
Set your gateway. This is by default a bunch of numbers, but my actual gateway that works is my MMS Proxy (web.wireless.bell.ca)
Your phone may restart
You can now send/receive MMS!

From what I've found you have to root, then edit build.prop ? I've thinking about getting one, but I want to be sure I can use it on Straight Talk

Yep. Or you can flash a number of AOSP roms from the G2 android levelopment section. Using my AT&T straight talk card and it works fine.

Do you know if there is any real difference between the older AT&T ST sims and the new 4G LTE ones? I heard it just might be a little different APN settings

I don't know for sure, as I only have the Straight Talk AT&T LTE microsim. However, both cards use the same bands so I'd think the older sim would work too
I'm using Rayglobe Flex 4.0 that ported I for the lS980 for my wife and mine Sprint G2 and everything but NFC works great using StraightTalk AT&T sim. Talk, Text, Internet and MMS work with the the proper APN of coarse.

What do you mean "ported"? Are there any specific installation methods for the flex rom or can I flash it through recovery? I looked at the thread for Rayglobe flex, but it wasn't posted under the LS980 forum. If you could give me basic instructions and what your apn settings are that would be great. I can add a new apn, but it won't save it.
