Hello beautiful XDA community! How is everyone doing on this fine valentines? I hope well! Since I dont have a valentine, I thought I would spend tonight with my most closest thing to me these days..... my tablet
Anyways all jokes aside, I want to use my vegan tablet to make phone calls over wifi... or even tether the connection from my samsung captivate galaxy S... is there any way to do so?
Like, I'd like to be able to call actual phone numbers and not "SIP"'s ... is that even possible? LOL, I installed a few apps, but the write ups are so damn confusing!
Thanks!!
Alex
CSipSimple + Sipgate + GV callback. Best solution i've found so far.

LOL, thanks!
I actually tried that route a while back, and the activation code that sipgate sent to me doesn't work... LOL, I even cut and paste it from the email they sent me and their website says it's invalid.
I have actually sent their support team an email a few times regarding this, but now one ever responds ... and when you call their support number it always goes to a voicemail with no call back.
LOL, just my luck heh? Wanna share your activation code with me?
If you have a Google Voice account, try installing Sipdroid from market. When you run it, it'll ask if you want to create an account on pbxes.com. After that you can call out to phones from your Gtab.
If you go into your GV settings using a browser, you can receive calls.
That's what worked for me, but caveat is I had stuff like the GV app already installed before I tried this, and I'm not 100% sure if anything other than Sipdroid and a GV account are needed.
Good luck,
Jim

Thanks for your tips!
I may be doing something wrong, because whenever I try to make a phone call from sipdroid it will attempt to make the call, then just end it.

Well, it looks like I got something set up right... cause the little log in is now registering with a green light. THe problem now is that when I try to make a phone call, it tells me that the call can not be placed at this time... Any idea of what I can look into and why it's not allowing me?
TIA!!!
Are you using Sipgate or pbxes?
The issue with your sipgate code may be that it expires after something like four hours. I ran into that and I just re-did my registration and got a new one sent out to me.
I didn't go with PBXes because I saw something about it requiring my Google password. I'm not down with handing that out in the open like that. So I stuck with SipGate and I've had no problems.
Let us know with service you are using and I'm sure someone can give you some assistance.
Thanks for your reply! I am using sipgate with with pbxes... am I totally doing it wrong?
Im sorry, Im actually using sipdroid with PBXes... sorry for the confusion.

Install Google Voice. Install Sipdroid from Market. don't go to the pbxes.org website and create an account; let Sipdroid do that. (My big error). Sipdroid will make an account on pbxes.org on your behalf. Use sipdroid to make call.
I now need to figure out how to use my bluetooth headset to be the microphone. Other than that it worked out of the box. Although I apparently sounded like I was "underwater".

Thanks for your info, it is greatly appreciated!
I am really confused with all of this!!!
I have a google voice account/ With number
I have an IPKall account/ With number
I have a PBXes account (that I made on their site) are you saying I should
delete that now? I dont see an option in sipdroid to make a new account (from the tablet)
I am so lost here! I am getting mixed up information all over the net I did some research and I keep seeing posts on other sites saying I need to "PAY" for voIP svc.... But is that some type of hoax? I think it can be done with just google voice and sipdroid/ pbxes.
All I want to do is make phone calls from my tab ... its so hard!
Thanks for all of your help everyone!!!

I had done the same thing as you going to the pxbes.org site and setting up an account. I couldn't get it to work. I went back to the sipdroid app, started it up (make sure your network connection is working obviously) and it set up the pxbes.org account automagically. It worked for there. Asked me my GV number, my google account password (it needs to log in to your account to forward calls). I didn't try calling in only calling out but that worked fine. Proof of concept for me as I would just use my cellphone or landline but it did work.

2.01 beta is what I have, and it automatically created a obsession acct. I think you had to set things up manually before, when they had the older version. There are some webpages that go through the steps, but they were too confusing to me, until they added the acct creation.
BTW I get an FC when I try to start the dialpad. Is that working fir anyone?

A webservice GVmax moniters your google voice account and sends the sms to your phone immediately. All you have to do is give them your google login creds.
Seems like a good way to save some battery life and do more gv texting. Just thought I'd share.

Now we just need an app that lets you make and receive calls over wifi/data with our GV numbers
Best solution I've seen so far... This does it all... you just need a gtalk client and a callback phone(your carrier number, voip client w/service and pstn set up or your google talk on your computer). I'm using it with palringo and agephone over wifi only(my radio isn't even turned on) and it works great! =D
I can't get it to work, but lots of people have had success with Ultimate VOIP which can be found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908783 It uses the system's built in contact list and dialer.
I think this would be awesome paired with either Beejive IM or Palringo on your winmo phone.
I realize that there's been a lot of people wanting an invite for google voice and i haven't really been interested in it. HOWEVER, since installing Fresh 2.0b (love it), I'm interested in google voice. Can someone send me an invite?
EDIT: Just letting everyone know that I've requested an invite from google twice in the past 3 months...heard nothing
i don't have any yet, but i bought mine on ebay for $1.59 and it was legit... as soon as i paid and checked my mail inbox the invite was there... I know i paid for something that should've been free, but $1.59 wasn't going to kill me, and i didn't want to wait for someone to have a spare invite

you don't need an invite. sign up for one, then go to the market and download the gv app. when it asks you to login, use the same info you requested the invite with, done.

You need to disregard that and dial *28googlevoice# now. It told you to dial that number cause it didnt recognize your phone correctly as Sprint.
Anyone has any spare invites. Tried the method someone posted however as someone else mentioned got the phone could not be verified error.

I just wanted to point out that you guys without an invite are not really experiencing google voice. It is a service not an app. It just happens to have an app. So without the service your missing the whole point of what google voice is....
With that said GV would not be a good replacement for VVM without the entire package.

I was able to get the Whole Service without an invite. It initially just set up as voicemail, but I logged in online and requested to change it to a google number and it all went fine. Now I have a google number instead of the general # that only works for voicemail.
***CONFIRMED THAT THIS WORKS***
come get ur google voice account, i have used all the features i know how to use including multiple greetings for different groups and getting a personal google voice number that Im able to foward calls from that # to my cell.
just install the app from the marketplace and follow the setup instructions, then go to google.com/voice and sign in with the email you used and setup your google voice number! BAM!
i need one too tried youmail didnt really like it [email protected]
I still get "Your phone number could not be verified" if someone has invites I sure could use a hook up.

What is it that makes Sprint VM better than Google Voice voicemail??
They both have an app for your Hero
On both you can click and listen to your voicemail
Oh, Google voice transcribes voice to text for free.
I think using google voice for just voicemail is still better than Sprint VM.
Hi,
I've seen many articles describe how back in the day you could make a Gizmo5 account and tie it to your google voice account and thereby make free calls using google voice. I've looked around for a bit for a solution that doesn't require Gizmo5 but haven't found anything as of now. I've seen some mentions of using at least in part SIPgate and SIPdroid but, from what I understand, if you can get that to work it only solves the issue of incoming calls. Does anyone have a current and complete method (preferably from start to finish) to set up something like this?
You can accomplish this by using Google Voice, IPKall, PBXes.org (or a similar service) and an app like GVCallback plus whichever SIP app you'd like to use (I like CSIP). There are tutorials out there, Google is your friend. A little too involved for me to go into detail at the moment but it's possible and it does work once setup properly. Basically: setup an account with PBXes.org, get telco # from IPKall (that forwards to your PBXes.org account). Next you setup Google Voice to forward to your IPKall #. At this point you'll be able to receive calls to your GV # but not dial out. To call out, setup GVCallback. Now when you dial-out, Google Voice will ring your phone first, you answer - then GV rings the # you dialed and connects the call - for free.
Just keep in mind, if you use too much bandwidth, PBXes.org will cut you off unless you upgrade to a premium account. Hope that helps.

there are free sip providers without that limitation... a quick google search should turn up a ton of them.
If you're inside US, Google Voice will be the best answer. Or you can also use Skype or Fring with very low rate.

even if you're outside the US, you can get a free number from ipkall to use with google voice and get free calling to the US and canada and low rates (about the same as skype or fring) to anywhere else.
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

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

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!

one reason i like to use the vzw app is i know if i say forget my phone or my battery is dead i can still call and check my voicemail from any phone i want. Not sure but i wouldnt think google voice would have that capability, if my understanding is correct when it normally sends the call to voicemail it instead sends the caller to your google voice instead so it would not be on the vzw server for checking from other phones.

yup absolutely. you get a visual list of voicemails within the google voice app, just like vvm. press play and you get your message. it also transcribes the message for you so you can READ your voicemail

you CAN check from other phones. thats another great thing google voice does for FREE. all you do is call your google voice number from any phone, enter your pin, and there are your messages stop paying verizon pleeeeease. can do everything for free. any more questions?
Don't forget you can check your VM online as well. Comes in handy in a pinch.
well either way i like VVM and here is a working gingerbread apk

This thread is very interesting since users of an android phone do not know how insanely good Google voice is. The amount of customizing options is just pure insanity. Can have certain greetings for certain numbers, special one only for your wife. Can setup groups, work greeting, friends greeting, etc.
You can even break in to the call and listen live while someone leaves you a voicemail, and the break in and answer as they were recording.
You can record your calls.
Unknown numbers can be screened so they have to state their name before your phone rings then you hear their name when you answer the call.
Its pure insanity, and someone would rather use the Verizon version? Teehee's...
vvm doesnt always work,it would record but give an error

google voice, which is FREE, beats out ANY pay service. i guess enjoy wasting your money you people who are stuck in your ways X_X. i wish i had enough extra money a month to set on fire... us that post good things about gvoice are just trying to help you all save cash, but if you want to spend for no reason, then by all means, spend.
Why isn't there a hack for VVM? and why does vzw charge for it? I'd like to like my Google exposure and not use G. Voice. Is there a native option?
limit your exposure?...are you on facebook? youre more exposed already.

absolutely. you dont have to use any minutes to check your voicemail if you dont want to. you use the Google Voice app. it uses data.
edit: actually, i think i originally misunderstood. i think it will still use minutes when the call is forwarded to google. but if the person only leaves a short message, should only use 1 minute. but thats only for someone leaving a voicemail. sending txts and checking your voicemail is done with data.
first, of course, you need to sign up for a google voice account. i forget if its invite-only still or not..just check google.com/voice. after you have an account, see this faq for instructions on setting google voicemail as the default for your phone.
edit2: also see the post after mine. has some good instructions.
