[HOWTO] Free Incoming & Outgoing Calls via Wifi (Using Google Voice & Gizmo5)

1) Setup or Login to your gizmo5 account page (www.gizmo5.com)
2) There should be a section explicitly for entering your Google Voice username and password. Enter your username and password. Also be sure to make a note of your full 11 digit Gizmo5 number

3) Download and open the SIPDroid app from the market. In the SIPDroid app, hit Menu and press Settings. Enter:
Username: your 11 digit Gizmo5 number (e.g. 17475555555)
Password: your Gizmo5 password
Server: proxy01.sipphone.com
4) Turn on your phone's Wifi connection. Make sure SIPDroid is running (should be in the Ongoing section of the notifications drop down menu).
5) Login to Google Voice (www.google.com/voice). Add & Verify your Gizmo5 number. If you set up SIPDroid correctly and your wifi is working properly, your G1 should ring. It took a few tries for the phone to actually ring but eventually it did for me.
Yes, you need a Google Voice account. No, no one can invite you except Google. Incoming calls on Gizmo5 are free. Outgoing calls are free only in the U.S. International calls are subject to Google Voice's rates. Ask further questions and discuss below!

Hmm, so it only works with WiFi?
It doesn't work with 3g/edge?

Thank you very much finally a way to do this!!

SIPDroid has an option to do it with 3G but I think this goes against T-Mobile's terms of use.

this is bs!!! You can get both free without using that!
Here's how:
Use the app GV. call from there. It will then call you with your GV calling you(free on mygay) then call the person. Look you can use it at any time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would count as incoming minutes.

I think that's right... so by using Gizmo5, are we just bypassing the use of incoming minutes?
Say if I wanted to call Iran, I would only be paying the 8.2 cents a minute to Iran and not be charged for any minutes with T-mobile?

if 8.2 cents is what google voice charges than yes and no minutes used, also works great if you are outside the country and want to call in, then all you need is some wifi and your good to go FREE..
also not everyone has a my faves plan.. or my gay as that guy calls it so this is very awesome
BTW install full version and u can talk over 3G ;] http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/

1) This is not limited to wifi. Install Sipdroid-full from sipdroid.org for access over cellular network (assuming your carrier isn't blocking port 5060).
2) Not sure I trust Gizmo enough at this point to give it my Google password.
3) Gizmo has created a customized version of Sipdroid specifically for the purpose of making and receiving free calls to US numbers using Google Voice. Details here. Again, I haven't tried it myself as I don't trust Gizmo with my Google pw.

Can I remind everyone that this is a family website and that all language should reflect that

I was under the impression this sort of thing is against T-Mobile's terms and thus, while possible with 3G, not to be done.
And that Guava app is buggy for me. If they straighten it out, would make setup much easier.

So im using this with wifi bc im out of the country.. my outgoing calls work perfect and very clear but they are limited to 3 mins.. Now my incoming calls are my problem.. if someone dials me from google voice to my gizmo5 # it comes through and they hear me perfect but I cant hear them!!!. But if someone dials my google voice number it does not go through to my sipdroid and I dont get the call, not from a land line, not from a cell, and not from google voice they have to dial my sipnumber and only from google voice does it seem to be working.. and when i get the call i hear nothing :/ anyone want to help it would be greatly appreciated
EDIT: just finish posting and i received a call from my mother and it work she heard me i heard her and she dialead my google voice number?? any thoughts

MiFi Fast Enough Now to Replace Phone
With Verizon's 4G LTE MiFi hotspot and an unlocked iPhone I was able to replace my mobile plan. I'm saving $100/ month. I wrote about it on my blog. You can do a similar thing with SipDroid on android devices.

[NEWS] Google Introduces VOIP Calling from Gmail!

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html
Call phones from Gmail
Wednesday, August 25, 2010 | 9:40 AM
Posted by Robin Schriebman, Software Engineer
Gmail voice and video chat makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family using your computer’s microphone and speakers. But until now, this required both people to be at their computers, signed into Gmail at the same time. Given that most of us don’t spend all day in front of our computers, we thought, “wouldn’t it be nice if you could call people directly on their phones?”
Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail.
Calls to the U.S. and Canada will be free for at least the rest of the year and calls to other countries will be billed at our very low rates. We worked hard to make these rates really cheap (see comparison table) with calls to the U.K., France, Germany, China, Japan—and many more countries—for as little as $0.02 per minute.
Dialing a phone number works just like a normal phone. Just click “Call phone” at the top of your chat list and dial a number or enter a contact’s name.

We’ve been testing this feature internally and have found it to be useful in a lot of situations, ranging from making a quick call to a restaurant to placing a call when you’re in an area with bad reception.
If you have a Google Voice phone number, calls made from Gmail will display this number as the outbound caller ID. And if you decide to, you can receive calls made to this number right inside Gmail (see instructions).
We’re rolling out this feature to U.S. based Gmail users over the next few days, so you’ll be ready to get started once “Call Phones” shows up in your chat list (you will need to install the voice and video plug-in if you haven’t already). If you’re using Google Apps for your school or business, then you won’t see it quite yet. We’re working on making this available more broadly - so stay tuned!
For more information, visit gmail.com/call.

Amazing!
Now, the question is: how to make these VOIP calls from the Nexus One over Wi-fi?!
Goodbye Skype, RIP

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the google voice app works over wifi and 3g.

Voip on android phone is now within our grasp MUHAHAHAHA!!!

Add SIP and Canadian local numbers/signups and this will be great. I'd use the 3cx soft phone app and be happy.

I guess I'm kinda confused, I've been in the Google Voice beta for some time now, well since I got my Nexus one back in March.
Google Voice isn't in beta anymore and anyone can sign up for free... Doesn't this already provide us with VOIP using the Google Voice Application on the Market?

No, though you are correct that it already works on wifi and 3g, i believe he was talking about a VOIP application from Google that can work on both of those. Currently GV is NOT a voip service,ll it is is a fancy forwarder (a very useful forwarder) it still takes minutes to call people. We are hoping that they will eventually convert it into a voip client like the gmail client just did explained in the article.

GV VOIP on the Android headset would change the whole telephone industry. I'd imagine big companies have been worrying about this for a while. Data rates would have to be seriously reconsidered. Unlimited data in the US, if a GV VOIP integration was made, would explode. This is why Verizon has locked down the Skype app to their voice network.
The last I read before this release was that Google was trying to nail down the mic/speaker driver interactions with the browser itself. They had almost abandoned the project. That's where those fancy Chrome/Mozilla plugins come in. With CM's mod, I tried visiting gmail with desktop as the user agent, but without those plugins it's useless.

Hey guys,
Not really a Nexus question, but the dialer locks up my system when I try to make a call from it. Is the dialer a java program that isn't playing nice with my Vista system?
Any advice on how to fix this?

sure, well part of it, if you are out in the middle of no where and only hada wifi (no carrier signal) you could still send/ recieve google voice txts, but you would not recieve any calls since the calls are still routed through your carrier since GV is not a voip service, just a VERY fancy (and useful) call forwarder.

Looks like there's some confusion as to what Google Voice is versus what Gmail Calling is.
Google Voice is absolutely nothing but a call forwarding service. The instant that the call connects (ie you the other person's phone ringing), you are 100% using your cell phone carrier's signal and 0 data. Zero. None. Zilch. No VOIP whatsoever. Google Voice simply connects you to the other person, that's it. You're still using your cell phone's minutes.
The only data is the initial 3 seconds between the instant you hit Call and the instant the other person's phone starts ringing. It uses data to connect the call through Google Voice's servers. So sure, that 3 seconds before the call connects can use 3G or Wifi.
Gmail Calling on the other hand, is 100% VOIP. You call through your PC, using your DSL connection, Cable, Satellite, Starbucks Wifi, 56K modem, etc. 100% data. It uses 0 cell phone minutes, because obviously your PC has no idea what cell phone carrier you have, or if you even have a phone at all.
Google Voice and Gmail Calling = two completely different products.
Now, my question is:
How do we get Gmail Calling (VOIP) on the Nexus One?

Good explanation, I cant imagine why it is taking google so long to get VOIP going, Gizmo5 had it all up and working it should only be minor changes. This leads me to believe there is something more going on like the carriers would revolt against google if every android phone only needed a data plan. Honestly the entire carrier industry would be turned on its head if google goes VOIP.

That may be part of it, but I cant imagine the FCC EVER allowing that deal to go through. Have you even read it?! Its totally BS. The FCC has to have some line drawn in the sand that says "this point an no farther". There needs to be a shift in the way the internet is treated.

Just got invited to the Sprint-GV Integration..but!!

They wanna charge 20 bucks for doing so!!
Me says Hell no! lol..

That's what Google charges for porting a number into GV. Been standard since they launched number porting..
I'm hoping using your GV number as your Sprint number is free, as that's what I'm planning on doing.

Got mine too and am using my sprint number as GV. Less hassle, more folks know it, etc.
I did NOT choose option 2.
No fee for me.

I did try to do that also and guess what?? The same 20 Bucks!! =(

That's very odd. I just started using my Sprint number as my GV number this morning. I wasn't charged anything either.

For those of you that are getting the $20 charge - wait about an hour and try again. That screen should go away. I have read that Google got ahead of themselves and your account had not been updated yet.

Everything should be fine now. Just ported my number.. no charge!

Ok this was odd.. I logged on to google voice today and as soon after I logged on I had this pop up asking me if I wanted to port the phone number so I did and then no 20 bucks fee now..

Ported my existing Voice number to Sprint. Loving not needing the Voice app but am having issues receiving MMS sent to my GV number. I know Voice doesn't support MMS but I thought with the integration it would still come into my phone throught the stock text app. Anyone else who uses their GV number had any success or failure with this? Sent to my regular Sprint number they work fine.

I also had trouble with txt and mms sent to my phone I installed GV and I was getting the SMS on GV app and the MMS on Handcent.
Which honestly was annoying to me.. so needless to say I switched back and left GV

I got the invite on Thursday, and immediately switched my Sprint # to my GV #. I have two issues that bother me, but aren't deal breakers.
1. The mms/sms issue spoken of above. On top of that, when I first enabled my number, sms would not go to my native sms app, but only to GV. Mms would go to the messaging app. There is a setting to change this, a guy over at AF helped me to figure it out, so now the sms goes to both the sms and GV app, and along with that comes double notifications, which I can't turn off because it will disable voicemail notifications as well.
2. When I answer a call, I must press the answer call button on screen, then open the keypad and press 1 to allow the call. Kind of a pita, but Now I can't go back to the way it was with both numbers and GV as my VM app.
Idk if I'm missing a setting somewhere, or what, but those are my issues with it.
Sorry for the long post....

This may be (yet another, and I apologize) stupid question, but how do you get the vm without the app installed? It never seems to transcribe them in a way that I can understand the messages...

With the email it sends you a link to the Voice site where you can listen to it if you want. Downside is that it only plays on the external speaker.

CM9 Visual Voicemail

I've read a bunch of posts on this, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Baseband Version - S700.0.5S.EL30
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-Shadow-CM9_v0.3 (have used default CM9 kernel and Samurai kernel also)
CyanogenMod Version - 9-02132012-NIGHTYLY-EpicMTD
I have been testing 2 different Voicemail installs.
sprint_vvm_5.1.0.48.apk - http://dev-host.org/95ls5ezsm22v/SprintVisualVoiceMail.zip
and
sprint vvm - 5.2.0.24 - Voicemail-335896.apk - http://db.tt/z9dDqjI9
I've tried using these steps:
1.unzip SprintVisualVoiceMail.zip to the root of your SD card
2.find sprint_vvm_5.1.0.48.apk on your sd card and install it...
3.download titanium backup from the market...
4.launch titanium backup and find sprint vm...
5.select restore... (select data only)
I install the 5.1.0.48 APK and then restore data only from backup and when I launch Voicemail I get a "Unfortunately, Voicemail has stopped." error with only OK as a option to close.
If I uninstall that and install 5.2.0.24 (and not restore data) the application opens up, but I get these errors and no new voicemail notifications.

Please wait, Verifying your account information, this may take a minute...
Account Verification Error which I click through and get to voicemail, but no new messages show up.
I can check for new messages and get 'Attemping to download new messages.' but no messages show up.
If I restore data to this version of voicemail, it loads without any errors - but I still get no voicemails.
I'm getting a SMS message that says to call 650-603-0000 to listen.
I've searched and found these suggested fixes:
Re-activate your Visual Voicemail account. This will force the Voicemail client to send an activation message to the Server again. Once re-activated, all pending messages should be able to download again.
Option(1):
- Go to - Settings/Applications/Manage Applications (be sure you are looking at "all")/Voicemail/Clear data
- This will wipe out your old Inbox messages but your filesystem will come clean
Option(2):
Use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected] (you must have a couple of seconds recorded)
Option 1 just takes me back to where I started (reverifying account)
Option 2 doesn't work with either version of voicemail apk with or without data restore. Both crash when I try to record a message.
The problem seems to be that I can't verify my account information. (communication is timing out) Is there a way to check and see if it's using the right server?
I would like to use sprint visual voicemail. So not picking 'use another app from market' has anyone figured out how to get this to work?

I will never happen until there is an ICS-compatible version of the Sprint VVM. Your only option is to use something else.

Do any of Sprint tablets have ICS have visual voicemail on them?

No. No device on Sprint has ICS yet, and probably won't until mid-March.
I recommend just using Google Voice.

I've used my phone for less then 30 minutes of talk time over the last year and some change and maybe have received a dozen voicemails. It's not that big of a issue for me, I'll just wait.
I wasn't a fan of google voice. I use my phone mostly for sms and email messaging. It might be months before I have to make a call and I might not get another voicemail before summer. The first time the phone rang it caught me off guard.. I wasn't sure what that sound was.
thanks for the replies.

What's everyone's hatred of google voice? It using about the same amount of resources and when setup properly as "just" a visual voicemail it functions "exactly" the same.

I don't know about other people, but my hatred for it is how it hijacks your SMS without even asking. While this is fixable by removing the integration to the phone, it is still a pain in the ass and a lot of people don't know how to do that. And unfortunately, you have to do it every time you rebuild your phone. Not very convenient for a flash-aholic.

Well, the average user doesn't flash roms 24/7 so you can't really blame google for that. I kind of like having the SMS around because it just transcribes the message for me in a much easier location rather than having to put in my passcode, wait until it plays a message, etc.

It doesn't hijack anything! If you took the time and read the settings you'll see what I'm talking about.
DO NOT CLICK "Enable Google Voice on your Sprint phone".
DO CLICK "Activate Google voicemail on this phone"
It will give you instructions on how to easily set that up. Then use the Voice app as like you would Sprints.
If you "Enable Google Voice on your Sprint phone" it will intercept everything.

I do too. I use the Google number for all my Business Stuff. Forwards to my cell showing the Google voice number so I know when someone is calling from that line, I can also set a ring tone for that line too. Then I use the app to text with that line, see what number was that called and all voice mail. I set two different voice mail messages, one for my business line (default message). Then a message for ppl in my phone book that I know.

I updated to Version T.5.2.0.25 that came with FB09 for the Epic 4G Touch and that doesn't work either. Program launches fine, but it times out when trying to communicate with the server. I tried comparing files to files from a gingerbread rom (the visual voicemail app - vtt-sprint.apk) that worked and other then classes.dex and subjar.jardesc I didn't see anything obviously different.
Just poked around in the xml files and everything that has a address or port seems the same from one file to another.
Does anyone have a 4G touch with the new ICS Rom and have visual voicemail working? (it comes with the rom and is the latest build of visual voicemail)

My daughter has the epic touch, I'll hijack her phone (that is like cutting off an appendage) when ICS is released.

Someone will figure out how to get this to work.. its no longer crashing it just fails to communicate with the server. I'm thinking a app issue with either creating a connection or routing. is it kernel level, configuration or the app itself.. no idea. Of course it could be something server side that's saying.. this isn't gingerbread or lower, ignore it. Be interesting to run a packet sniffer on a GB phone with a 1st launch of vvm and see what's happening when it sets up and compare it to a ics launch of the app. Is it even trying to send the initial auth msg? Where's it getting held up?
Just throwing thoughts out there.. could be anything I guess.

I believe VVM needs a provisioning program that is compatible with ICS.

Any idea what? I have the epic touch ics rom that has the updated visual voicemail. Wonder what it needs.. I'm not afraid to install whatever to try to get it working. Wonder if I can email the dev and ask them.

Tried both 5.2.0.25 and 5.2.1.0 from the two Epic 4G Touch ICS leaks and still no luck with either on their own (restored data from my 5.2.0.24 backup to at least shut it up from trying to provision itself incessantly lol).
Since these versions are running on ICS I wonder if there is another piece we need besides just the APK. It was so easy to get VVM working on CM7 after all.

Have you tried booting to the EL30 thumb drive boot and updating profile and then following sprints steps? I wonder if its a profile issue? Does the app work on the other sprint phone that this was pulled from?
Try the troubleshooting steps below if you are not receiving your Visual Voicemail messages:
1. On your phone keypad, enter *38 and then press Talk to cancel any call forwarding
2. Turn off your phone, remove and reinsert the battery and then turn it back on
3. Update the data profile on your phone; go to Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update profile
4. Go into the Visual Voicemail application and compose a Visual Voicemail message by selecting menu and then Compose. Make sure your message is longer than 15 seconds and send to [email protected].

So I would like to be able to use my CM10 SMS app to send messages using my google voice number. Is this possible? For example, now I have it set up so google voice messages go to my SMS app but they show up with a funky number instead of my contacts number AND if I send a reply it uses my tmobile number instead of my google voice number. Is there a way to integrate them better?
Thanks!

Found this app several months ago and works like an absolute charm. Definitely worth the cash after the trial expires.

The reviews make it look sketchy but I'll give it a go!

It's super unreliable and the developer has yet to get back to me.

Have you checked your Google Voice settings?
In the browser, after logging into Google Voice, go to settings.
Under "Calls" look for "Caller ID (outgoing)" and make sure "Display my Google Voice number" is selected.
Not sure why this option is under "Calls" but its clearly says "Note: this setting currently only applies to text messages; calls will be included soon."
Oh, and make sure under "Phones" in Settings you select "Receive text messages on this phone" under the forwarding phone you want text messages to come to.
This should clear up the "Funky" number your get..

I still get the funky number but at least now I can send from my Google Voice number.

GV SMS Integrator works great on older platforms. I believe it was said that it *might* work on CM builds for N4. Definitely does not work with stock N4 JB. Not sure if GoSMS would work.
The free trial version will nag you on every received message, but it will continue working. Definitely annoying enough to buy/uninstall.
Worked great on the HTC Sensation. Had it setup so it was completely seamless and transparent. No icon in the notification bar or popups etc.
Are you fixed on the stock SMS app, or do you just not like the GV app?
There are probably some other GV SMS apps now. I know Talkatone built it into their app, but that might not be to your liking..

When an SMS comes in with a funky number, I add it to the person's contacts entry with a custom tag of "GVoice", then I use the stock Messaging app to send SMS to them using that number. But until I learn a person's GVoice number, I have to use the Google Voice app to send SMS if I want it to come from my Google Voice number.

I just use the GV app for my texting instead of the built in messaging app. I wish Google with fix this and come up with better integration and allow group SMS and MMS to work properly. Even if they went to my gmail would be better than not getting anything.

GV integrator worked fine for me with GO SMS but I wasn't getting notifications. I have read in a couple of places that the developer has not been replying to people latley. The idea of the App is genius but needs a lot of developmental work.

I am in need of GV Integration to work as well. The developer seemed to have abandoned the app and I don't know of any alternatives to route google voice to stock SMS or GoSMS with working notifications. Is there anything that we can do? Is there a place that we can suggest someone work on a similar app?
I bought GV integration, but I would buy another working app in a heartbeat if it were available to me.

Not sure what rom you're running but if you replace your stock mms app with this one (which came from AOKP) notifications should work with the GV SMS integrator app. You'll have to place it in /system/apps. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot. This version of MMS works well with the GV SMS integrator. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work because the native GV application is piss poor. I cannot believe how amazingly laggy it is on my N4, and I have no idea why there is no option to cache messages. I was shocked when I discovered how much better the iPhone version of GV is.

Glad it was of use to you! I completely agree with you about the Google voice native app. I really wish the developer of gv integrator hadn't abandoned the project. That's the only thing that's keeping me from spending the $5 on buying the full version.

Yeah, if I could reply to a message through the native notification pop up I would totally give this guy the $5. But it's a steep price for a half baked solution. I just keep hitting cancel when the notification to buy pops up.

Thanks for that. I've been trying to fix this for my wife's N4.
