Hi, i've been reading around a lot and i've got my wizard (cingular 8125) up to par real fast. I know everyone is using Skype but i've como across VoIpdiscount which offers free calls (landline) to USA all of europe and south america.
I want to know if any has set up a sip device or softphone on their Imate/htc etc to work with VoIpdiscount, or if you know of any other provider like this that offers free calls to usa south america and europe.
Thanks a lot for all the info.
The link is www.voipdiscount.com
good luck
You might want to e-mail them and see if they support other Softphones? And what the settings are.
I have Broadvoice and they have instructions on setting up your own device. If I have time today I want to set mine up to use SJphone.
Hello, I am going to be in Tokyo for the next few months for work. I use an HTC Hermes here in the UK. I am interested in having the office in Tokyo get me one to use whenever I am there. Questions:
1) Is the Softbank X01HT the model to go for? What advantages does this give over Docomo? Is there an unlimited data tariff? If not, what tariff should I go for if I want to use the phone for email and internet?
2) I use IMAP mail. I have tried but been disappointed with FlexMail 2007 as an email client, particularly since it does not support Asian characters. What other email clients (other than the WM5 standard which does not support multiple IMAP email addresses) are available with Asian language capability?
3) I am thinking the HTC Hermes will be best because it will be easy for me to configure since I already have one in the UK. Are there any other leading edge WM devices available that I should also consider?

Wassup, I used to live in Tokyo and theres never really been a "unlimited" data plan. They are pretty expensive compared to like Sprint but they offer a variety of different plans to match your usage. The best thing is to talk to the carrier rep directly. Both Docomo and Softbank are the same network. GSM+WCDMA. As far as english apps go they will work as-is. Its japanese appz that won't work on english phones. (kanji and phoenetic characters use a double size font) Roman characters only need half the space so it works great. The only thing is that you won't be able to change the system to english. Hmmm, I think. I may be wrong on that one. hehe.
You might actually wanna check out the Willcom Zero3. That phone is sweet! Although it is a PHS network. Not compatible with anything outside Japan.

Hi guys,
Is there any software which allows video calling on windows mobile?
Thank you!
You mean other than dialer included?
The dialer included only uses 3G, I think yallow means over any other network like Wi-Fi. There was one company who did that (forgot the name), but no demo or so, you know that kind of closed company which asks ridiculous prices for crappy software
I wished only Skype would port the video to mobile... BTW Live Messenger should have incorporated voice calls too, to compete against Skype (of course, I like the way it is, prefer Skype over Microsoft big time )
Yes, I mean video calling over internet, not 3G.
It is a pity, SabbeRubbish, you forgot the name of that software. I would buy it and share my experience. =)
Good news, I've searched my history and found it
--> http://www.tabletmedia.com/ <--
I think this is what you want.
There is a trial I see now:
Voice only, no messaging, video or dual-mode support.
Includes G.711, G.722 and MS-GSM speech codecs.
Windows Mobile 2003 to 6.0

The Internet can come on 3G or Wi-Fi. If you are looking for Video chatting over LAN (in this case wirelessLAN or bluetooth), thats a different story. Please be more specific next time.
M$ and Skype won't integrate the video functionality until there's a higher 3G coverage over the countries. The datarate is just too small on GPRS for Video chatting, and M$ is still several steps behind Skype in this field
gnick666,
Do you really think it matters for the software where the Internet comes from (3G or Wifi or GPRS or whatever)? I don't think so. That's different ISO/OSI layers. Why do you ask me to be more specific if you don't have any answer?
SabbeRubbish, many many thanks. I'll check this out tomorrow.
Regards.

Video calling over internet.. Very interseting.. Can you tell me how to do it?
AT&T Wireless
I was doing my own due diligence on this subject matter and figured that there is a way to utilitze the front camera on the TC.
Have you guys checked out AT&T's video calling?
http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/media-entertainment/attvideoshare.jsp
So far they list certain compatible phones, but do you think that it will work with the TC?
Seems like it works for 3G phones such as the TC...

You're welcome.
About the OSI layers, it obviously matters where internet comes from as the video calling (standard HTC) comes ONLY through 3G. So there is some kind of difference, but I think this is mainly a commercial difference: immagine how much more money operators will make if everyone starts making 3G video calls!

Not only that, there were some programs that used a Local network (not the internet) for video calling... of course the were derailed before being implemented....
I will not insist, that's just my IMHO. I think that video-software just gets an interface to send data through. The only question here is bandwidth. Theoretically it should work over any internet connection with enough bandwidth (HSDPA, WiFi, USB-PC, etc...).

I agree, truly. But obviously most software wants to handle connections themselves or so. Anyhow, my before mentioned solution DOES work on LAN, just don't know if it's affordable.
I use 3g VideoCall from Telme,it works fine on my TC except for the video right now
I use 3g VideoCall from Telme,it works fine on my TC except for the video right now (they say they will release a new version in march or april).
You can download it (from the download section) and use it for free (or with an account just like skype)after registering for free as a Free Member from here : http://web2.telme.sg/cedel/index.php?option=mod_joinus
With "Route 60" activated (as a distributor) u can even call for free to 60 countries on fixed phones (from which 6 countries on fixed AND MOBILES for free)
I call then free from mi 3gphone to fixed phones, to 3gphones and also even to computers having the correspondent software from Telme installed (Deskcall NG)
I tried fring with voipstunt and voipbuster, I could not find my Voip contactlist and was not convinced so I uninstalled it.
If someone gets a better result I would be happy to know it.
My telme nickname is 3gcedel in my Polaris and cedel in the deskcall if u want to call me. Or 1800-3501540 (Virtual SIM number if I'm not connected)
or 3g1800-3501540 (same as 3gcedel) when I'm connected in 3g

Strange. Mine always times out while connecting
Weird Problem
I've been trying to get my TC to make video calls to a Nokia 6280 and it's a no go. The weird part is that I also have a N70 and I can make a call from the Polaris to the N70 and also from the N70 to the 6280. So all my phones work but the Polaris and the 6280 don't work together. When I try I get a connection but no sound and no image. Any ideas? I already tried different roms and already switched sim cards.
HY to all. I know from time to time someone is looking for some VOIP options for mobile phones just as I was looking for it.
I will leave you link for downloading software for mobile and how to install it. Using is simple
I came out with very new brand and type of service for VOIP calls via all devices you can find including mobiles but unfortunately not all mobiles can work with that sowftware, more preiclisly there is no software for all types of mobiles just Android, Symbian and Iphone OS based phones.
Here you can find rates and software: www.logotell.com and here you can make VOIP account http://www.logotell.com/backoffice/?q=services
As I asked paying for vouchers for credit via Paypall and credit cards is in progress and it will be ready in few days (I hope).
IMPORTANT
Only thing to know is when you are making account at logotell.com it will ask you for "Sponsor's username:" so please put "hrga" as you got info from me . Later when you sugest to someone else he can put your user name (benefits you will find by yourself).
You can make VOIP account without registration at logotell just for free calls but if you want to buy credit you ll need to register and fill form. I suggest making acc at logotell first.
So: software download at www.logotel.com
for creating VOIP acc and to create virtual number use: http://sip.logotell.com/Logotell/OnlineShop/VSContainer.swf?module=signup2&state=portal
I am using software on Nokia E52 and works perfect. Unfortunately there is still no software for windows OS based phones so my old HTC is still only using SIM... :-(
As I heard from Android users thy say it works super and calls are very good.
Never heard of it, I'll try it asap. Does it use landlines or so for routing the call for free? Or do you just get 5mins free calltime when signing up.
EDIT: It has a neat UI, but haven't done any tests yet as I'm at work atm.
@OP: Are you always calling for free or just very low cost and is this another Skype/Truphone/Sipdroid/Rebtel/CSipSimple/magicjack application with low-cost call over 3G/Wifi?
Thanks in advance for you reply.
It is like this. If you use your cell via Wifi to oher user hooked on internet it is for free just as Skype etc. Otherwise if you want to call you will have low cost calls.
Tha is for now. Maybe it would be posibille to make some routing with other VOIP provider. bo...?
I also took their travel SIM card without roaming (so now everybody can bother me on cell when I am out of country)
Good if you are lot out of country.
Indeed this looks like a decent VoiP provider I have to agree.
I am using voip now for more then 12 years ;-) (at home that is)
I found some app's for voip on Android, to use whit voip(buster) etc, u can configure them.
can i use this whit other voip providers?
Could be.
Well if somenone finds some Voip for WindowsMobile I would be gratefull
Hi,
As some skype users may know Hutchison Three UK (mobile operator) has its own version of Skype which doesn't need VoIP to call,they have their servers for calls,their version of Skype is free to use and even no need to top up your phone!
This Skype app is available on Symbian3, Symbian s60 and Android, Windows Mobile (hack), but I want this on WP7 as this is a really genius app,there are no dropouts no delays and no 3G/WiFI data is involved to make a voice call.
This skype doesn't drain a battery too, which is why it's a best solution if you talk with SkypeOut quite a lot. Basically it works like a calling card,each of your contacts has its own number with extension (Three mobile server numbers). So you just buy any supported phone (even a cheap one pay&go) and use Skype voice and chat. You doesn't have to top up eather.
My question is...
Who's actually developing this skype? I know on symbian s60 it was iSkoot, on Android it's joltid?
The thing is this Skype can probably work on WP7 devices without Mango update, as this solution is no VOIP..
What is the best way to get information about development? Any thoughts? Maybe someone can port it?
P.S. Verzion (US mobile operator) also has such skype and their servers.
Thanks
I've talk to Three and that's what they've told me: "They no longer use iskoot - Skype develop everything now." ThreeUK
As I can see they eather don't know about future development, or they stopped doing it.. In a last case it will be a shame, cause like I've said. This skype is so unique..
Perhaps someone can port this app to wp7? There are .sys .apk and java apps.
Main idea is to get algorithm of how it actually add extensions to your skype contacts.
Remember I've told in my post about three servers, so here's numbers: incoming: 07838333600 and outgoing: 07838333602. If you dial just them it gives you error. So I think there is extension adding automatically, but I'm not sure how it's done.. This is a three server numbers
