Graci, When you dial out, you use your native dialer it will give you an option to make a internet call or cell call. When people call in the same applies. Hope that helps you.

I'll see about making a video follow up on what you just asked. Got to go to work...I work for the evil At&t.

This works to any country or its only for US?

Excellent write up OP. I still keep SipDroid which allows me to call my friends on Skype, yahoo, gtalk etc from one place.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dj_Art:
Yes, it works only in the U.S.. A pity.

Hi,

Does this work for users outside of the USA?

I just use GrooveIP, even an idiot like me can install it and it sets itself up entirely.

But not sure what this has to do with the NC considering it doesn't have a microphone? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
What happened is that I posted this to half the android forums, the rule is only post to one forum. I assumed since this applies to android devices, I would post to applicable general forums. I got a lot of positive feedback, not that the actual tutorial is spam. It was consider spam since i posted to more then one android forum.

Sorry for the confusion but this is the new home for this Tutorial. If you guys have any questions let me know!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lschroeder:
I just found this thread. Since the nook color has no built in mic, but we can use the usbhost mic for Sound Recorder and Skype should we be able to use with this solution. As I stated I can get to dial numbers and receive calls but not sound or mic in either situation. Anybody have any thoughts or things I can try.

Edit: Bluetooth mic are not implemented yet, thus the only mic is usbhost from a logitech headset. Skype only works with contacts not dialing.

For me at least GrooveIP audio quality is unacceptably bad. People on the other end get annoyed.

I've read through the whole thread, still no solution for the missing add link to google account button on the home screen of SIPDroid?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbexpress:
OK, sorry to sound like a complete idiot, but I'm not getting something: As I said in an earlier post, I am fairly certain that I set everything up right, all things point that way. So, as a for instance, I'm sitting at home with WiFi on. I dial, I get the popup, do I click cell phone call or internet call? Internet call does not seem to put the call through? I'm "assuming" these are free minutes (while at home, on WiFi)? Also, for instance, I'm on the road, WiFi is n/a, do I click cell phone call or internet call? I made a total of 8 minutes worth of calls today, 4 minutes at home, 4 on the road, and my minutes used on the T Mo site show the used minutes went up 8 minutes. So, does it use minutes or data? Can't tell what my data went up in MB's because I did too many different things while out of the house. I've always been under the mis-impression that Google Voice, generically, made it so minutes were not used, but every T Mobile Rep. I;ve ever spoken to says no. Can someone please iron this out? If this machination de facto does nothing, then I should probably uninstall it and save steps. TIA to anyone who can possibly clear this up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jesusice:
Choosing cell call should use your minutes and internet call should just use you data. The reason for the belief that Voice doesn't use your minutes is because Voice used to always dial out on your Voice number and then be routed to the number you called from there. So this meant that all your calls would show up on T-Mo's side as to the same number. So if you added that number to your fav five then none of your calls counted against your minutes. This also meant it took longer for calls to connect. Google fixed that problem a while ago and it no longer calls the same number everytime so that trick no longer works.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbexpress:
Thanks for part 2, that makes sense. Now, part 1 (again). If I click "internet call" while on either WiFi or the network, it just beeps and hangs up without dialing and says "number unreachable" on my screen. So, I'm thinking I must have done something wrong in the setup since part of what is supposed to be an option is not. What's baffling though is that it "part-works". My pbxes.org is set up correctly, I know for a fact. The only thing is I could not find the radio button shown in the video for "GoogleChat", that may be the problem. Oh well, technology wins again. Thanks for the explanation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I am really baffled about why you don't see chat in google voice too. SOrry that this forum is a jumbled pile of crap now that it got put into this forum, oh well probably should of read the rules!

I'm going to find your solution! Damn I've looked all over google and nothing is coming up. Why the hell do you not have the google chat option?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Generally when that happens you didn't set up your google voice account first! Or your google voice number is your mobile number! There should be two seperate numbers unless of course you ported it, don't recommend that option, oh lord no!

Well again sorry this forum is so garbled around, I'll try and help you guys as best as possible!

Just go get Viber, or the other free Internet communications?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EleventhHour2139:
I did. However, I have my number ported over to Google voice, and have it set to ask whether I want to use my phone's actual number or my Google voice number when I make calls.

But even with internet calling/receiving enabled, I do not get a pop-up asking if I want to use the internet calling. Perhaps there is a setting of some sort on pbxes' website that I screwed up that would cause this? Everything I can see under the call settings menu has been set up according to the instructions. I am even able to receive calls via wifi, just not select whether I want to place outgoing calls that way.

Thanks again to all in this thread!

Holy Confusing Batman!! I was trying to figure out how a thread that started two days ago had 20 pages of replies, but I guess when you merge many different posts from different forums that it happens.

Anyways, I had a question that I hope just got lost in the shuffle. I am really curious on this, because I have not been too impressed with GrooVe IP so far due to some serious time delay (yesterday it was about 4 seconds), but my battery life is already in the tube because of other things going on, and I don't think I could take much more drain on the phone without either always having a charger on me, or having the phone die.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XphX:
Android does not have the option "phone settings" when you are in the settings menu. I could not find any SIP settings at all.

I want to try this out because earlier I wrote that outgoing calls are only free if you live inside the US and outside of the US this applies. Now I just want to make sure that I am not mistaken (you say that international calls are free..). But where are these settings?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Are you running CM7? If so you need the update your nightly. You have to be on 2.3.5. Mabye 2.3.4 but i'm not sure about the later. Unless you have a pure google rom, or cm7 you probably won't have those settings. Let me know if you have any more questions!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I answered that but this thread got merged before you saw the answer! LOL Ok well basically if you have receive calls on in your call setting then you will have battery drain. I don't know how to Push the calls like grooveip does but what i do is just keep that setting off and when I get a call, i just call them back. I know it isn't the best solution but that's why I created this thread so people can find some tweaks and optimizations. Let me know if you figure anything out! LEt me know if I can help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I'm not sure how to do that because I have not ported my number over. HOpefully someone can pop in and give us some enlightenment on that! Sorry i can't help but I will keep my eyes peeled for a solution for you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Sorry again after the thread got merged everything was jumbled around! I do remember your question and I think I replied, sorry for the confusion.

I remember trying to Google a solution to your problem. I'm not sure why you don't get that option. Do you have a google voice number and a different cell number?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androidchick1:
Nice Tut, Thanks! I got it working, finally. Does this use a lot of battery?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XphX:
Alright, I got everything set up now. When I make a call I hear the call signal as usual, but the phones I call do not ring. At the pbxes call monitor I can see which numbers I tried to call and the duration is always 00:00:00. At Google Voice the calls do not show up as "placed" calls (I suppose they should show up there). What now?

/Edit: Okay, I can initiate a call from the google-voice-webfrontend... oh wait (womens voice): "Go online, buy credit, goodbye." So after all the international calls are not free. I do not know how you get this to work for free, but it clearly is not. You need to buy at least a 10usd-call-card to place a call outside the us/canada.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calhotel:
Same thing here. I heard the ringtone, but the phone I called did not ring.

Goddamn PBXes probably disabled the outgoing GTALK trunk or block my outgoing call or sth like that. mine worked for a month, but now I cannot place a single call.

Be aware, there is no free lunch.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
That's odd I haven't heard of that problem. I know several colleges that use pbxes.org for business and never had a problem. When I make a call through pbxes I always get it to ring and have the other person answer. You said you had it set up for a month and now it's not working for you? Did you change anything?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NegativeOne:
Is this true?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I seriously doubt that they back charge you. I can obviously see how it can use your data. I in the world are they going to be able to detect if you are using WiFi?

I'd like to hear an explanation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NegativeOne:
I think they'd have to use deep packet filtering, like comcast did before they got an injunction
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
That is true, i think the cost of doing so would outweigh the benefits of catching or blocking it. Just grabbing at straws here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NegativeOne:
It would destroy their whole stream of revenue for minutes, so it might be worth it for them... I could not say for sure.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Make sure you add googlevoice first. Or else when you install sipdroid you will not be able to have sipdroid automatically set you up with a pbxes account!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bassmadrigal:
Huh, I looked through all the pages and there wasn't a response, so maybe it somehow got lost in the merge.

Thanks for the answer. How do you know that someone tried to call you? Just the voicemail notification with google voice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Well you shouldn't be missing calls but googlevoice does actually notify you as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calhotel:
Thanks dude. It's fixed now. I did not change anything. The problem might be on the google side. They might have changed the protocol a little bit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bassmadrigal:
Well, if you turn off the receive phone calls to save battery, how do you know that you are missing calls? Is it only with the voicemail notification? Oh wait, I think I may be thinking about this from a foreign perspective. In the states, you can set GV to have incoming calls forwarded to your cell phone. Is that what you have done? (I am finally going to be coming back to the states in the next few months after having lived in Europe for 4 years, so I need to get clued in.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jesusice:
If you visit Voice online there's an option to display missed calls in Inbox. If you have that on then Voice will give you missed call notifications even if your phone doesn't ring.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NegativeOne:
I'm still having some trouble getting it to work. Can someone please clarify for me...

In call settings, for my account info, do I enter:

username: myaccount (as in what pbxes has when it says, access your stuff through myaccount@pbxes.org) or the one that is myaccount-200

password: do I enter the pbxes password that I use to log in to the site? the device password? my GV password?

Too bad the Streak 7 doesn't have CM or Gingerbread, so it can't use this. Also, Streak 7 doesn't have a native dialer, so it can't use the WiFi calling feature baked into GB even if we got GB.

i recently paid for skype with unlimited usa and an online number for $60.00 for one year.

its ok...it has alot of broken features.

it works pretty good with my older version i use 1.0.983 or something like that.

it dont have video chat or sms like the newer 2.1 client but i can select my ringtone so i can pick a loud one...the newer one dont let you pick a ringtone.

i have a google voice account on my pc and i use it alot when i have my headset hooked up to my computer....(well i used to use it alot until i got the skype)

basically what im trying to say is your way works just as good as the skype client but there is a little more hassle to getting it going vs the skype client.

im not sure how well the pbxes site works compared to skype servers but the skype servers/call quality seems pretty good.

i actually tried to get google talk working on my android device about 5 months ago and it sure would have been nice if i would have found the guides you just listed.

anyhow i would give this a try if i did not have skype.

it cant hurt anything and it probably works just as good or almost as good and its ALOT cheaper.

anyhow great info!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stilesja:
GrooVe IP works great indeed and you don't need Cyanogenmod or AOSP
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gagins:
Very interesting.

But question is, why to all this staff when we have skype or Google voice.

What is advantage?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Google Voice doesn't actually host the call and you definitely couldn't use it for wifi. Skype is not free.

To make free calls you need to have a hosted or host your own SIP server. The solution i showed you in the video is a free hosted SIP Sever. Hope that clears that up for you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I wasn't really impressed with the quality of Groove Ip but you do have a point about not having to use cm7 or asop. I like the solution I provided because it uses the native SIP Stack built into Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XphX:
Google Voice is not available for users outside of the USA and you have to pay for the calls (as far as I can see you can send text messages for free though, that is nice).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andQlimax:
I found this guide for who is not in usa

http://www.labnol.org/internet/get-google-voice-phone-number/18425/

It should allow to sign in to google voice through a usa proxy and a usa voip number..with this 2 things everything should work for every country

i will give it a try tomorrow..i hope someone can try it, if that works then we can use the OP steps to make free calls on wifi and aslo 3g :)

even if giving the google voice user/pwd to pbxes.org is not so good i think
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I've heard of ways people can use google voice outside the US. I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but I know it can be done somehow.
