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.

The app says it on the Settings screen (screenshot attached).

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'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

Do you have a VOIP account?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Why does this look incredibly familiar...?
tl;dr:
Need SIP provider that connects to POTS.
Need SIP account at said provider.
Need to add POTS number for said SIP account as a phone in Google Voice.
PBXes used to fulfill these requirements, but they're out of capacity for free users (and also skipped going over POTS, instead tying into the Gmail Chat widget's system). Sipgate could provide such an account, but their quality can be meh, won't do calling without GV Callback, and frequently run out of numbers.
Dude sorry to bother but how do I get all that stuff n a VOIP account, sorry to sound stupid but I'm new to all this stuff...thanx
how can i addd a sip account to call numbers world wide not just sip2sip
what is the best provider and what is the settings

Hi I have used sipgate for sip calling on mine and it works well, can receive & make calls I have also set up voip.co.uk to do the same. If you use any of these and need ahand with the settings let me know

The arc allows you to setup sip account in call settings. I use pennytel so i only need to enter sip.pennytel.com.au my number and password
Also give you choice how to choose bt voip or cell when you dial.
Call quality quite good

I suggest the simple and free SIP provider: antisip.com
Go to http://sip.antisip.com/account/ and create your account with very simple steps.
After created, you can go to your Android 2.3 phone and enter your sip information:
SIP username: <you created username>
SIP password: <you created password>
SIP server: sip.antisip.com
And select the [Main Account] option.
Then you done. You can test your sip phone with a SIP phone software on PC, like X-Lite, etc...
Hey guys,
I would like to use the native Gingerbread SIP client to make Free calls over Wi-Fi. SipDroid does this well (it has set up a PBxes account for me already), but I would like to use the native Gingerbread client instead; it's a lot more streamlined.
I don't know what settings to use to get it to work: like ports, protocol, etc.
I tried using:
Username: myuser-200
Password: mypass (I set it in PBXES.org account to make sure)
Server: pbxes.org
Auth username: same as Username
Port: 5061
Transport type: TCP
Everything else default.
But I am unable to make a call. It times out. SipDroid works immediately. I did disable SipDroid prior to testing this of course.
Anyone know what to do?
hey! i figured it out!!! you cant just jump between sip clients!! say you log into sipdroid, if you close that and then go into the native sip, it wont register!!! you <b>must</b> go to your pbxes. org account, click "extentions" on the left column, retype your password, and click save!!! and then you can sign into the native android client. im using cyanogen with an evo!!!
