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.

Hi,
I'm using often companies like justvoip or voipcheap to call abroad. First you call a landline number in UK and then you type in the number you want to call. For example first you dial 01617002727, then you dial 007123456789#. Would it be possible to dial the number from contacts and it would automaticaly dial 01617002727 before? Thanks in advance
best regards
you can try to use FRING, i'm just use this software with voipbuster and voipcheap and i call the contact directly from my sim card without type any other number before
Fring doesn't work without the internet connection. Do you use voipcheap over 3G or you dial a local landline number?
best regards
i use frig over 3g and over wi-fi
MagiCall will do it.
I've tried magicall but it doesn't work. Probably it has to wait until you hear "welcome bla bla" before you dial the number
Maby you can use WM client sip solution, but it works only on speaker.
I use it to connect via 3G to my Asterix Pbx from home.
I think you can find a cab somewhere , but be careful to take the one witch doesn't affect your gps.
You might be able to add 01617002727p007123456789# or 01617002727,007123456789# in your contacts where the p is a pause.
magicalls works perfectly for me. From FAQ:
Most calling cards work in this way:
1. Dial the access number
2. Listen to the voice instructions
3. Enter your card number
4. Wait for a while
5. Enter your PIN number
6. Wait for a while
7. Enter the destination number
You may create outgoing rules like the following in MagiCall to automatically apply calling cards to the destination number.
Rule type: Outgoing call
Filter type: Specific number (You may select any filter type you like)
Phone #: +* (I want to filter international calls)
Action1: Change number
Call to: 8000,,1234,,666,,{phone}#
In the rule above, my calling card's access number is 8000, card number is 1234, PIN is 666. Each comma ',' is used to pause for a second. {phone} is a placeholder which represents the destination number. If you need to pause longer, add more commas. (See attached pictures)
Hi All,
how to deactivate international call barring. I tried to deactivate it in HTC hero. But it asks a password. I asked my network operator O2 (Germany). They said, that the password is set by HTC. But I checked the HTC manual and googled, I have not the password yet.
Does anybody know this password?
Best regards from Munich
BS. theres no such password set by HTC, so it must be o2.
No bar on making international calls on my Uk Hero either. And at what Orange charge me for them I am sure they want me to make as many as I can
Or do you mean roamimg, i.e. using the phone when abroad? If so then often networks block that.
What steps did you take to try to activate international calling, because I have never even seen an option on my phone for doing that

Is the "outgoing international" box got a green tick against it? If not then the outgoing international calls are NOT called barred. On mine the ones above headed "all outgoing" and the one below headed "all incoming" are the same - i.e. with no green tick in the box and "disable" underneath. So on mine there are no bars.
But when I click on it it asks me to provide a password so that I can set up call barring, not so that I can get rid of it.
If any of the boxes have a green tick and you did not put it there then somebody has probably barred the calls and put their own password in. Since this is something that the user can do I do not think it will be HTC who will have done it
if it asks for a password, this is usually limited by the PIN2 on the SIM. This is set by the network and not by HTC.
If this is what you have got, with the ticks and everything, ask the network for the PIN2 of your SIM. They should be able to provide it as most networks set it to a default value, just as they do the standard PIN.
if you can not work around it..
You can look at calling cards.. which will save you money in the long run.
The calls are considered local calls on Calling cards.
just an idea....
good luck
Can someone place tell me step by step on how to use this program? I am trying to be able to make phone calls from my SGT and have download Google Voice/callback and CSIPsimple....
Do I make up my own phone # when trying to setup using sipgate????
HELP!!!!

Not sure what you mean about creating your own phone number. The DID is normally provided by your SIP provider.
I am using my Callcentric account with CSIPsimple and the setup was pretty straight forward.
As with any SIP connection, you are going to need
username:
password:
gateway:
proxy:
Once you register with the server, your tab will be ready to make SIP calls.
im using a sipgate number as my google voice black..installed fring app and configured the sip addon in there.

Hi,
I've just upgraded to 2.3 on my Nexus One, and I'm trying to setup the in-built SIP functionality with my Pennytel VoIP account.
I went to Settings, Call Settings, then Accounts (under Internet call settings).
I've setup a new account with my Pennytel username and password, and the Pennytel server. I also setup the Auhentication username.
When I try to make a SIP call (get on a WiFi connection, try to call number, pick Internet Call, then my Pennytel acount) - it simply tries to call, then does "Call Ended" right away.
e wit
I've tried with a SIP proxy and without one.
Also, I've tried CSipSimple on this phone with the Pennytel account, and it seems to work fine, calls through etc.
Is there any way to diagnose what's going on? Or get more detailed error messages for the Android 2.3 inbuilt stack.
Cheers?
Victor
I want to use the sipgate phone service with the standard Phone App. I just cannot get it to work properly.
I can connect perfectly to sipgate with my router, so I know my sipgate account is working and I have the correct settings. This is what I tried to do on my YD201 with active WiFi connection (obviously giving a false number for my SIP-ID in this description):
I Started the phone app and clicked on the 3-point menu, top right.
Settings / Calls / Calling accounts
All calling accounts: Select which account can make calls
X-Divert: (empty)
SIP accounts:
- Added a SIP account as follows:
- Username: 1234567 (my SIP-ID)
- Password: ******** (my SIP Password - all caps)
- Server: sipgate.co.uk
- Authentication username:
- Display name: 0203 ......... (my UK phone number)
- Outbound proxy address: sipgate.co.uk
- Port number: 5060
- Transport type: UDP
- Send keep-alive: Automatic
- After saving, it displays "[email protected] Checking status" for quite a time until then displaying "Receiving calls"
Use SIP calling: For all calls
Receive incoming calls: X
Display duration: X
Vibrating after connected: X
When receiving calls on the SIP number, the sound quality is great and all is well.
When trying to call someone, there is a terrible noise and no communication is possible.
I also have a sipgate.de account, so I tried that as well. The same thing happened, incoming calls are perfect, outgoing calls had a terrible noise.
I made calls to both my landline and Skype phone numbers and it was the same. Obviously there is a problem with outgoing calls.
I tried changing the "Transport type" to TCP, but no connection was possible.
I also tried changing the port to the STUN port 3478, but again, no connection was possible.
Can anyone help solve this problem?
