that was fring

Anyone know an app thats more reliable than Nimbuzz? I use it when I can, but its very inconsistent. Sometimes it's fantastic, other times it refuses to connect to my skype acct. I'm overseas 200+ days a year and it's a shame I have to use my ipod touch to call home instead of my nice new evo.

Tango but seems only to be for phone to phone http://www.tango.me/index.php

Looking for SMS over Voip software

Hi,
I'm looking for a software for my HTC S730 which enables me to send SMS via my Voip account from the Internet.
I found http://www.smsoip.be/ but it doesn't work on my HTC S730.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot!!!
Anyone???
There must but some software for SMS over Voip for Smartphone.... right??
sms software
do a search on fring, great bit of voip software. good for voip sms, sips, etc, using it on my spv m3100 with sipgates.co.uk sips account
Are you sure fring is also for voipsms? I dont think so...
thanks
please, anyone?? i want voipsms software for WM standard
WTF
cmon ppl!!!!!!!
hoping for the same thing, you would think there should exist a small app, but apparently there isn't...hopefully someone gets inspired and makes one
Humm.. SMS over VoIP? Is it possible? VoIP would need to provide an SMS gateway; which a phone carrier wouldn't...
How about an alternate solution? Email to SMS/SMS to Email gateways, specifically because they exist? If you find a way to send SMS over the telephone system, let me know.
[edit]
I was being to cocky. Looks like Skype provides; but read that wikipedia article anyway.
[edit2]
There are some web sites that will send SMS (that would be, other than the carriers themselves)... I just found CallWave.

yea there are website, but its real annoying to open a browser, type the address in, and then type the message. there are programs that do what we're asking so its not impossible, they're just tailored for the pocketpc (SMSoIP, IPSMS to name a few)
yea thats right... so voipsms is popular. but no app for SP yet!!

ya, it blows my mind too, lol unless there is and ppl aren't sharing
lol i'm guessing its not possible.... i ran into a program called fring which i think does allow you to do this, but just curious if we can do this without a 3rd party app
NO and NO! FRING does not allow you to do SMS via VOIP.
Im just really surprised by the lack of interest in this topic.
Do you people even know what SMS via VOIP means? It means FREE SMS TO ALL COUNTRIES WITH YOUR NUMBER AS SENDER (e.g. with VOIPBUSTER)

lol ok good thing you cleared that up, didn't liike fring anyways was sapping a little too much memory for my liking. ahhhh jus frustratin to see no one has a solution to this
i think maybe just write an email to ur VOIP provider like voipbuster or voipstunt and ASK them... they know better
someone suggested
gsm.voipbuster.com and download the java software.
any other ideas=??

Messenger App?

I am looking for a messaging app that will allow me to use skype, aim, and msn. The more important thing is having them run in the background so I can receive skype updates, calls and messages while utilizing the rest of my phone. Anyone know how to do this, or can point me to link about it. I looked for the last hour, but couldn't come across anything.

I don't know about the Skype part (haven't really needed to look for a client to support all those), but for AIM and MSN, try Palringo @ http://www.palringo.com , I have used it and it works pretty good for those and other IM's as well... Hope that helps a bit.
I really like Nimbuzz. Pretty sure it has skype.

I've used Nimbuzz... not a bad choice either, and if it has skype ( i havent used it in quite some time) then that would probably be the best solution.

Thanks Nimbuzz does have skype, I am going to give it a try and post in a few days how I like it. If anyone else has an idea let me know and I'll try those as well.
I have Agile Mobile. It works really well for AIM, MSN and Google (don't know about skype).

VOIP in Canada

Anyone using 3G VOIP on the X10 with a high level of success?
Skype Beta, tried but doesn't work in this "region"
Fring = crap
Google Voice = not in Canada
I don't care if the service is free or pay-for but I would like some options.
Any info would be appreciated.
Try the new new Vonage app. Downside is that it only works between Facebook users with the app installed on their Android, Apple or Blackberry phones. Other than that it looks good and is totally free worldwide.

Looks like it's worth a try, probably never see Google Voice in Canada eh?
Thanks for the heads up double 0h 8

Tried it.. just can't get it to work. After I enter my facebook login and passwd, it says Can't connect to facebook, try again later and closes itself.
Guess I have to stick to crappy fring
Google voice works in Canada. U need an Alberta number to forward to. The only downside is having to use the web browser to make outgoing calls.

But you have to pay about 50$ for the sip settings (user/pass)
Free local calls and between some cities.
Unfortunately without sip settings, you can't use sipdroid.
3cx phone seems to work best for me since it supports g711. Sipdroid doesnt seem to have that codec. Havent found any that support g729 yet. 3cx also allows multiple sip accounts. Used it with voipcheap and gizmo5. Seems to work best for me.

Installed it last night but haven't tried it out yet.
I'll play with Vonage today and maybe look into a sip account.
Thanks to all.

Do you know any sip provider with prepaid for international which doesn't expire and preferably free local or north america calls?
You can also try Nimbuzz. They just released a new version the other day, that is supposed to reinstate Skype VoIP service. Haven't tried it myself yet, though.

I just created a Sipgate account (VPN on the home computer combined with a friend with a US cell phone got me an invitation code).
I've tried to set it up with Sipdroid and although it connects (green light on top) it fails to sustain a phone call. It makes the call and then drops it. I've tried with and without using the STUN server and have also tried various ports.
The Sipgate account is working. I called my Sipgate number and left myself a voicemail.
Is Rogers simply blocking my 3G VOIP trials?

[Q] Talkatone || How to get VoIP through GTalk on Android?

Does anyone know if there is a similar app for Android, or a way to get the same functionality as this: http://www.talkatone.com/
I already know how to get something similar with GV + Sipdroid. In fact I am using it right now. What I am basically looking for I guess is a app that will let me use VOIP over GTalk instead of a sip service like Talkatone does.
Same here
I would like to know that too... It always seemed very odd that google themselves didnt make that work...
Still looking
^Bump. Anyone seen anything new on this?
Is there any similar app exists?

Have you tried Fring?
Any news on this I don't want to use PBX or sip or what ever other in-between account they did this on the iphone and I can call people on my gmail account it's just plain stupid someone hasn't extracted the browser plugin and ported it to android.

Well, it finally seems that something has been done. Check the GrooVe IP app on the market which came out just a few days back. Is is 2.99, I got it. The outbound works fine, but I am not able to get incoming. Anyone else tried it out.
i haven't tried it but 2 of he comments say that it's glitchy and that it doesn't work properly... groove ip
Well I paid the $3 and it seems to be good fo out going but needs some fixes on incoming I couldn't figure out how to answer it lol

i use sipdroid
This Dev is awesome I reported the bug and he fixed it within a day. It may not be a perfect app but if the Dev is that willing to fix stuff I'm all for recommending others to buy from him. http://androidforums.com/application-announcements/320717-app-groove-ip-google-voice-voip.html this app just needs a Google voice login and nothing extra unlike sip or the others I've tried to use. Today during the tornado I still had data but no texting or regular calls and it worked to make a call! Saved my butt. Worth $3.00!

Talkatone for Android
In case you haven't found it yet: Talkatone is now available for Android in an early alpha stage.
I just installed it in my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it works perfect with my GV!
You can get alpha APK here:
