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.

Just added Tubaloo to my to test list.
Thanks.

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] any way to text mssg from the tablet?

Any apps out there to txt message from the tablet? Preferably with my actual number (not sure how that would work though).

There was a guy on the Xoom subforum that made an app that uses Dropbox (iirc) to 'sync' text messages.
You could use Google Voice, but then all of the messages are sent from and to your GV number.
I hope someone comes up with a way to easily sync between an Android phone's SMS client and an application on a tablet, so you can use the tablet to easily interact with SMS and MMS messaging.

Now i am guessing you need a droid powered smart phone? Will my samung rogue be able to do this or does it just ue the phone number?

it needs to be droid to droid.
works awesome.

Textfree is the best texting app out there that gives u a real texting number. U cannot find it in the app store *also* the newest version constantly crashes on the tablet. Here's a link to a working version of textfree
http://www.hotfilesearch.com/download/56035720-Textfree.apk.html
Let me know how it works out for u

Just use Google Voice app with real notifications.

I haven't had any issues with it. I don't use it most of the time though cause my phone is usually on me.

thanks mate might just take the plunge and give it a go

[Q] SMS messaging

I've search and am unable to find a messaging service that uses a data plan as a send / recieve instead of your text messaging plan. Anyone know of a app out there that does this? I dont care if its paid or not......

I believe you can with Google talk.

I not sayd google voice because here in Spain is not available

If you download SMS chomp there is a feature in there to text for free, you could check that out.

Yeah, check out ChompSMS- you can use your carrier for SMS or switch and use the "chompsms network". This also integrates with TextFreek (textfreek .com), so you can get free text messaging this way.

SMS sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app

Aussie user on --> MHA-L29C636B158 here and I've currently got a case going with Huawei for an issue where SMS's sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app. They send successfully but there's no trace of them in Huawei Messaging app or any SMS app.
Have confirmation from another Aus user on same firmware that they have the issue. Wondering if it's a problem on other variants? Can't seem to find the issue mentioned in any posts here on XDA.
Cheers all

To send SMS with GV u either have to use the Google voice app or hangouts. Which one are u using? What do u mean logged? U mean once u hit send it sends but doesn't show in the app?

Yep, the latter. Using Google voice and then voice command "sms contact_name".
Once you've told Google Voice to send the SMS it has indeed been sent successfully but that particular message doesn't exist in any SMS messaging app. Go to Huawei Messaging or any other SMS app such as Android Messages you have installed and the GV sent SMS doesn't exist...

i thought i was the only one
drove me nuts so i uninstalled google now. lol

Thanks virtyx. Did uninstall/re-install fix the issue? What firmware r u on? I send and receive sms's from the car a fair bit with Google voice so it's a bit annoying to have no record of sent sms's done with GV. Apart from this am loving the phone Cheers

I'm on stock c636b172
I didn't reinstall don't really need it.
I just use the voice icon in my messaging app to send it, works that way.

Yep righto. Guess I shouldn't be too excited about B172 possibly fixing the issue then! (which I'm hoping to get OTA soon).
If anyone else can comment on if they've seen this issue (or do a quick sms via GV for me to test it) it'd help me hugely with my case with Huawei which is currently moving at a snails pace... Twice already I thought I'd gotten through level 1 but it seems that's where it's still at...

Question Whatsapp for Wear OS in 2021

Hi folks, I just bought a Galaxy Watch 4 and would like to have the option to send Whatsapp texts to contacts who haven't texted me yet. I know that Watch Chat had this option and now it no longer exists in the store. Is there and old apk that might work? Is there any other workaround? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I presume you can use Bixby to send a WhatsApp message. Do let me know if it works.

Bixby doesn't have many functions and I can confirm you it doesn't send whatsapp messages. There is a workaround to install Google assistant actually, but i was hoping someone could get watch chat to work or show me how to install it - thanks

Touto apkou ...
Messages for Wear OS (Android – Aplikace na Google Play
Zpráva s klávesnicí přes SMS / WhatsApp / Facebooku na opotřebení OS Android Wear hodinky
play.google.com

look in Telegram in the group "wear store". this should also work with our clock. haven't tested it

Because it is not compatible witch GW4.
Additionally it is not really Whatsapp . It is general use notification app
You may try Informer. It is an app of this kind as above but not full Whatsapp client
Informer: messages for Wear OS - Apps on Google Play
WhatsApp voice messages, call notifications, message history, vibration patterns

I tried but I really don't like this app. I could sideload the messages app and it's working well now.

Can you post apk of messages for sideload to GW4 ?

I use this , works well, but requires pre setting the contacts to be sent messages to (or called) in the phone companion app:
