Internet phone number? - HTC Vox

was looking through my phone settings and was curious when i ran into this 'internet phone number'. reason i ask is because i'm looking into purchasing a VOIP service and was wondering this will help with that. I installed the WM6VOIP.cab file, which now allows me to change the 'internet calling' setting to 'whenever available'.
So my question is, are there any benefits to having a phone with this feature? If someone was to call my cell and i had skype logged in, will it reroute the call to my skype 'internet phone number'?
just annoying because i am a student, and so the budget is fairly tight...

Is there any voicemail software for windows mobile?

I would like to know, if there is any voicemail software for windows mobile which works this way -
When I do not want to answer the call, I press a button to divert the person to the voicemail software on the phone itself, where the person leave a message and I can retrieve it after that. Currently, I am using the operator's voicemail service but I get charged to receive the message from the operator.

I need something that is installed on the phone itself, and does not require any other server to store the message, its like a answering machine on the phone
from what i know the deviding between the gsm module and the pda functions mean that such a feature can never be made for current pdaPhones
Search for 'answering machine', topic discussed, no solution yet.

Possible to use free VOIP when on wifi, gprs when not?

My girlfriend has an s710 which we bought from ebay and have it configured to only have a data connection when she is on wifi (so she doesn't have to pay for a data plan thru the cell provider) I am wondering if it is possible to add VOIP to her phone, which seems fairly straightforward.
We both have Google Voice numbers, I am wondering if there is another free service we can sign up for to basically create free incoming and outgoing voip calls using her google voice number when she is on wifi, and have it automatically switch to gprs when she is not?
This is the first WinMo phone I have ever even seen, nevermind used. Tutorials or FAQs would be great, I tried searching but couldn't find anything that was exactly like this and was wondering if it was possible!
Thanks for the help in advance, can't wait to start playing with a WinMo phone for the first time.

Program for SIP?

I am looking for a sip program that will replace my phone. on my Fuze. Do you have any sugestions? Thanks
Why do you think a SIP is better than a phone? If you change your phone to a SIP where would you run it? And I believe that you have both a SIP and a phone right now
If you're talking about SIP VoIP then try PortSIP, AGEPhone, or Express Talk. Those are the best programs I've found. Also, WM has native SIP support if you can get it configured right.
Yeah i was talking about sip voip I guess I should have said sip VOIP.
Anyways thanks for the programs suggestions. I have tried PortSip. So far love it, the only thing I have a problem with is my sound. If my sound is on vibrate, it will vibrate when i get a call but i can't here the person on the phone untell i turn my sound back on.
yeah i know WM nativly supports SIP after about a week of swearing and cursing I gave up on it.
And to darfri. No i don't think sip if any better then phone. phone it better in my option. but VOIP is way cheaper
THANKS for all of your Help

Best way to set up SIP / VOIP Phone for a small bussiness

Hey guys, I setting up a small internet bussiness, and have set up an 0845 redirect number for the company, (am not sure if i will keep this due to cost of customer phones i need to think of better ways but for the time being.)
I Also have also set up a landline sipgate number, which the 0845 number redirects to, to save costs for me as it costs to redirect to a mobile number.,
So now when a customer calls the 0845 number it gets redirected to the landline sipgate number - 016xxxxxx and then on my samsung galaxy s2, I have set up SIP account with sipgate, so it goes straight to my mobile mobile.
------
The problem is, I am trying to get the cheapest way but most effective, I dont have an additional telephone line, i could use to redirect the 0845 number too, which would be the most appropiate way I think. Also another problem is, I think the SG S2, only recieves SIP Calls over Wifi? am I Correct? Not good if I am out.. :/
I am also thinking about getting a SIP phone that I will set up next to my computer at home instead..
Ive never done anything like this before, So i dont know alot about it, Does anybody know better ways of doing this?
Thanks..

Is is truly unbelievable to me that in this day and age such an essential phone function could have been overlooked! I have been searching for days and days and found NOTHING or got stupid responses such as "use Google" (Online only, uses Data and for US Citizens only) or "use voicemail" (expensive cellular provider subscription add-on)... I mean, come on! When even the cheapest home phones can be gotten with built in answering machines, how come this essential feature is nowhere to be seen on android phones?
What's the deal, what's the technical hangup, what's the problem? Can anyone explain the REASON why there are NO call answering machine-like apps of any kind out there?

Im looking for the same thing and can't find it too!
Here is my need. I have a business phone number and my personal cell phone number. All my customers should call me to my business number which I can set to auto-forward to my cell only at the time I want to. But some of my customers know my cell phone number and they keep having this bad habit of calling me on it instead of my business phone number.
I'm looking for a app that will be tracking in the background the caller id number of incoming calls, if the number is a on list of unwanted that I have set, it will auto-answer, play an audio file recorded by me (like: "Please dial 111-222-3333 to reach me, thanks you") and then hang-up.
I don't feel alone with the need of a solution like this. And there are apps that can auto-answer call according to the caller id and there are apps that can play audio in a call, I don't see why it could not be technically possible to combine both.
wow
can't belive it, i was looking for the same and found several threads like this one, that's sad
let's hope sth comes up
Yeah, I used to have this function on my old fliphone from way back in 2002! Also, on my Windows Mobile phones after that...
Exactly. My nokia flip from ages ago (ran symbian OS) has an app on it called "Advanced Answering Machine" or "Advanced Call Manager" or something similar.
I could set it up so that it would direct calls to different greetings depending on the caller ID. An example of this is, I wont accept calls from "unknown" or "blocked" etc numbers. ACM/AAM would handle this perfectly. It would answer the phone, play the Telstra (thats a telco in australia) message "the number you have called is not available from this service." twice, then hang up. Later on I found out I was missing some important calls (the message confused some people such as the landlord who had a blocked number) so I changed it to "I do not accept calls from blocked numbers. To unblock your number, dial 1831 in front of your number. It wont cost you any more". This fixed the problem.
It was also programmed to answer calls after 30 seconds of ringing and play a standard greeting then take a message.
It was a very versatile program. I could (for example) divert certain calls to a party line if I didnt want calls from that particular number; however I didnt, as the diverted leg would cost me a fortune.
Its a shame on these advanced handsets today that such a simple, commonly available on landline phones, feature is not available. I can control televisions, fly remote controlled toys and vapourize components with a big bank of capacitors over bluetooth using my phone, yet it cant perform a simple answering machine function.
From what I hear the API that handles these functions is not directly accessable to developers; probably because "malware" could hook in and dial high priced premium calls and rack up huge bills all the while the phone owner not knowing until the monthly account comes in.
I did see one answerphone somewhere but it utilised the speaker so if it took a call (for example while your at the pub) the caller would not hear your greeting, or on the train everyone around you would hear your greeting and then the callers message, so not very practical. It would NOT work properly while the phone was on mute.
xperia phones come with buit-in answering machine feature. or use jail broken iphone and u have half a dozen apps which can do it.
unfortunately in android noway.. even if u r rooted.. no way
