so, i have ordered, and not yet received (get tomorrow) my nexus one. one of the things about it is that i only have the 500 minute plan (no, i didn't wanna drop 530 on a phone, lol), but coincidentally, i also like to game on the ps3 with a friend. unlike xbox, ps3 doesn't do private chat, so coordinating is actually easier with a cell phone. because i don't want to eat minutes, my intention was to actually skype him through my wifi. however, now i'm finding out, to the best of my knowledge, our option is 'skype lite', which is essentially a turd, and doesn't do anything for me except route my calls through skype on my phoneline, still using my minutes = worthless to me.
so, you guys have been fiddling with android for a while yet, i'm guessing, and i'm wondering what the best option/workaround is. i've heard mention of 'fring', but am not familiar with it. same with 'iskoot'.
gimme the digs, gents (or ladies, as the case may be). how can i voip using my phone to my buddies, without chewing phone minutes?
appreciated

You're paying for the phone regardless. Contract monthly rate is more than non contract rate.
Google Voice comes pre-installed on the N1.
If you don't have a GV account, sign-up for one. It's still by invite only so it may take awhile before you get the invite.
Then you can just go into the 'Voice' app and select to make all calls via Google Voice (which means FREE, doesn't utilize your voice minutes).
You can use fring which has skype call support
Nimbuzz and Fring work well.
Countries outside the US don't get google voice yet.

You seem to get a GV account automatically with the Nexus One but it still uses your minutes!
Google Voice is not a voice service. You'll still use cell minutes using that alone. You'll need something like Gizmo to voice call over data.
Personally, I use SIPDroid, which integrated perfectly with the N1, GV, and Gizmo. Simply install it, and set up SIPDroid with the settings here:
androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/how-to-free-calls-via-wifi-using-google-voice-and-gizmo5-21836/
Then all calls will always attempt to go through data, if it fails, it will fall back to a normal phone call. Works perfect.
sipdroid supports the industry standard for VoIP (i.e. SIP, like the former gizmo5). You can call other software SIP clients, hardware SIP phones, and SIP<->telephone network gateways.
thanks guys, i'll give this a shot.
and, i already have a GV account. and 2 more invites, lol. i'll just sit on those for a bit...
GV will definitely use minutes, which is what i wanted to avoid. i'll see how the voip options work out. much appreciated.
and, if anyone has any more help/suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciated!

darnit, gizmo5 is no longer an option. new user registration has been suspended :/
Use sipdroid to tie with GV and that should prevent the minute usage. I use sipdroid with gizmo 5 and that works but sipdroid has its shortcomings though. but it works and if you're on 3G, no one can tell the difference. Check the G1/dream forums for more info on sipdroid. There's also a thread over there about sipdroid/skype and another app for totally free minutes....

I am also using sipdroid, GV and gizmo5. I setup GV to forward to gizmo, and setup sipdroid to login to my gizmo account. All incoming calls to gizmo are free. However if you originate an outgoing call with gizmo, you will be charged the per minute rate by gizmo. To get around this, I use the GV website to originate the call, so that it calls my gizmo account first then connects the call.
Works great so far.
dang. wish that the gizmo site was still open for new members. :/
I suspect that they closed it once google bought them. They might have invites soon, because google will prolly integrate this they of hack into their google voice service. . .
Yes it was closed when Google bought Gizmo5. Are there any other alternatives?
Take a look at this article about the Nexus One subsidized vs ubsubsidized.
He mentions this:
an unsubsidized Nexus One with a data-only T-Mobile plan ($39.99/month), a Skype subscription for unlimited calls to mobile and landlines anywhere in the US and Canada ($2.95(!)/month), and a SkypeIn number ($30/year).

I wonder how he set that up? I'ld pay $3/month and $30/yr for calls.

Sipdroid works great on my G1 and N1. I highly recommend it. Give it a try.

Anyone using SIP or voip on their evo?
Would be a lot easier of skype was available, but seems like there is no alternative.
Sipdroid and Fring should both do SIP. I have tried Sipdroid myself (not on Evo though) and it worked OK.

sipdroid.com just redirects me to their google page. Did you mean
https://www1.pbxes.com
?
Edit: registered with pbxes, and tried to input the info into sipdroid, but it says it can't register because of 404 error. :S
Edit2: Got sip configured with pbxes, but when i try to call out, it just automatically hangs up. Tried with and without google voice.
Googled my problem, and seems people have been having the same problem as me
Quick and easy solution that I found, which is 100% free:
1) Get Google Voice, set it up for your cellphone.
2) Sign up for Sipgate One. Yes, it only has limited numbers (like only in LA), but that doesn't matter.
3) Remove all forwarding options on Sipgate (aka, get rid of voicemail, busy, etc.)
4) Add Sipgate to Fring.
5) Add your Sipgate number to Google Voice.
Now people can call your GVoice and you can answer via Sipgate/Fring, and to make calls, just get on a computer, open up Google Voice's web page, and initiate the call from there. All Sipgate inbound (to your Sipgate number from any phone) are free.

Sorry, my bad. I meant sipgate.com. Signup for an account with them, then use sipdroid and GV Dialer. You will need a Google Voice account. Works perfect. When making a call through GV dialer, it will dial out and call you back through your Sipgate number and the call is answered through Sipdroid.
Sounds complicated but very easy to setup and use and works perfect. If you need detailed instructions, let me know and I can post them.

First of all, I'm looking for a way to make and receive calls over wifi. The reason is that I need to save on minutes, and also that I will be out of the country for a couple of weeks very soon.
I am trying to make sure I have a wifi connection so that I can receive calls from the US with VOIP and wifi.
Secondarily, I'm looking for a service that will provide me cheap calls and texting from my Droid X to the Philippines while I am in the states.
I've been trying to find information on this, but it's very confusing. No I don't have Gizmo5, so that's no help.

I have been tinkering with SipDroid and it appears to work pretty well. You will need some type of SIP termination to make calls.
There are a handleful of SIP clients in the marketplace, but you are going to have to get your hands dirty and learn about SIP to make this work.
Or just get a Skype account? Or Use Gizmo5 with a Sip client?

Ahh. Sorry. I have my own asterisk (SIP) server. When I want to play with VoIP, I just create a new extension on that.
SipDroid evidently has some connection to pbxes.org and connects to that service pretty easily it looks like.
PBXes.orrg also has a basic free account to get you started. Looks like it allos 2000 minutes per month with a maximum call time of 60 minutes per call for free.
Might be worth giving it a shot.
You can also get service from a provider like vitelity or teliax pretty cheaply.

i'm in the same boat. about to travel to india and would love to ditch the calling card. i've been using gmail voip since wed. and have been pretty impressed as far as internet calling goes. my plan is use that when i'm out of the country.
anyone know if having an ip address in india will wig it out? i know the gmail call option is only for us customers right now.
I still only vaguely understand what PBXes.org does. None of this stuff is accessible.
Is there anyone who has a system that works, outside of the US, that allows you to receive wifi calls and does not involve gizmo5?
I don't mind learning something new here, but I don't have too much time, and I need it to be the right something.
I've played around with a lot of free Android SIP clients, and SIPDroid is definitely what you want. But in order to make calls to landlines in the US, you will need a SIP account that allows BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). That means you'll need to pay. Nobody will bridge SIP calls to real phones for free any more. BroadVoice is one choice.
As you see, none of this stuff is plug and play yet. You'll simply need to learn it. I recommend starting by getting a free SIP account at iptel.org, and set things up in SIPDroid to make some free Voip-Voip calls between devices, that way you'll learn.
Okay, for now, I can skip the complex stuff...
All I need is a way to make and receive calls from normal land and mobile US phones over wifi alone, when there is no signal... even when out of the country.
I have a PBX account, a sipgate account, and sipdroid, truphone, fring, and google voice on my Droid X.
I'm only just starting to get an idea of what does what.
I'm not looking for free necessarily, but I also can't invest a ton in this... I just want to be reachable for the next three weeks.

Sipgate should work - along with sipdroid.
You need to learn how to put your sipgate login credentials into Sipdroid (Proxy, user name, password)
Once you successfully have connected SipDroid to your SipGate account, anytime someone calls your Sipgate number it will ring on sipdroid (assuming you have sipdroid running.
I can probably help you if you'd like, it can be a little confusing .. but I think if you dig into the proxy and register server settings you'll get this figured out.
One more thing. Make sure wherever you are going has a good connection back to sipgate... just having wifi doesn't mean anything. A good connection (ping times less than 100 ms and plenty of bandwidth) will be the key factors.

Fyi, I used to have,well still do but don't use it much, my sipgate number forwarded to my google voice all setup through sipdroid,which is about the most consistent android sip client,which in turn allowed free calls (us atleast) over wifi & data. If you search xda for sipdroid or google for that matter you should find some good setup how to's.

Exactly. Have your G-Voice number call the Sipgate number.
The original how-to was in the G1 XDA development area I believe. SIPdroid and IPKall, along with Google Voice and Google Voice Callback should be all you need to get by. I have unlimited incoming and outgoing calls, as well as unlimited texting both ways. As far as out of country goes, I'm not sure what the deal is with that. But here are some links.

I actually had to use my G1 as a wifi only phone for over a year when I was broke and couldn't afford anything. It definitely was better than nothing, and without android I would have really been screwed. Hope this helps.
It's nice to have that option, as long as you have descent wifi. I also noticed sipgate was more reliable then gizmo, for me atleast, but if you want to get serious about it, set it all up through pbx or your own server.

And how do you plan on doing this without actually having ever phone functionality? It obviously will work, getting google voice working on the tab. The real problem is getting the phone functionality, well......functional!

You can't receive standard voice calls, but you can set Google Voice to call you on a VoIP line. E.g. I have a Gizmo5 account and use that with CSipSimple to redirect phone calls to.
I found the voice quality over Wifi with headphones to be excellent ;-)

http://androidforums.com/android-applications/252222-google-voice-pbxes-org-sipdroid-free-calls.html
You just need google voice installed, then download sipdroid from the market and it pretty much sets everything up automatically from there.
Quick Summary of the directions.
Get a google voice number and install google voice app.
Install sipdroid (free in market)
Run sipdroid and click the link at the bottom that says new PBX linked to my google voice
Verify your google voice account email is correct and enter your google voice password below (yes, you are giving them your password). Enter your pbxes.org password below that (that's creating a new password, so it can be anything).
Click Configure or Save. I don't recall exactly what it says at that step.
You might need to go into google voice->voice settings->phones and make sure you have a google chat account there and that it's enabled for forwarding.
Make and Receive VoIP calls using sipdroid. When you make outbound calls, your google voice number will appear as the caller ID. With inbound calls, as long as you have google talk checked off as a forwarding number in google voice and you have sipdroid running, sipdroid will "ring" and you can answer the call over VoIP.
Call history will appear in Google Voice AND on pbxes.org (even if sipdroid isn't open).
You might also have to check off the 3g option if you want to to work on 3g as well as wifi.
get magicjack and you can run a software hack to get your sip info from your magicjack device, then you have unlimited calls over wifi and 3g for only 20 bucks a year.

Except that MagicJack is garbage.
I have used Gizmo with GV and it works pretty good. Also used Sipgate with GV and that works good as well. That is for people who doesn't have a Gizmo account. Just make sure that all your phonecalls are made with GV when dialing out.
Also you can use Gizmo or Sipgate in conjunction with Sipsorcery, and setup your homephone if you have a PAP2T-NA and you can get rid of your homephone. I think that is where the nice value is.
I beg to differ Magicjack calls were alot better than sipgate.

I think this part makes this not worth it. Apart from your email, it has your Google Checkout which would make it easy for anyone to abuse it for purchases on the web. Even accepting that pbxes.org/sipdroid would never do it, if they get hacked, you are likely to be SOL. Avoidable.
If they could change the process to use OAUTH, it would be a lot safer.

Did you try to use your username and password at the pbxes.org website? If that works then check the settings for sipdroid on your phone, the first SIP Account should be filled in with your username-200, the -200 might be different but that's what I have. You can check this number on the website and clicking on Extensions. Also, check the password. It should register.
[SOLVED]Your call cannot be completed as dialed
I have a green icon on the noti bar and it says registed, but when i make a call I get the operator: "Your call cannot be completed as dialed. please try your call again later"
Anyone knows whats going on or how can I fix it?
I resolved this....
Had to go into the pbxes.org site and go into Trunks>GTALK...>and set my real gmail password. I'm kind of wary about this but for free calls I'll do it. Now to delete all my google check out info

Thanks. Everything was set up fine on my end except the user name on SIP line one...where I didn't have the '-200' after my login id. Once I fixed that, I got a green dot and made a couple of test calls and I think its working fine now.
Its horrible that we have to give our google pass to the pbxes website.... to be honest, its kinda scary..I also had to delete all my google checkout info. Hopefully, this safety issue will be addressed soon.
Just a question though: Will my call history and voice mails be saved in Google Talk inbox like it used to be before?
Figured it out: Call history does show up in google voice account.
A caveat: SIP Droid app has to be running to be able to make and receive calls on it. If you exit it, you wouldn't be able to receive or place calls using it.
I will be checking how much battery SipDroid consumes. Post your experiences!!!!
