Nice, will try it out later. Any idea how this compares to using Voice and GrooVe IP? I've used that but stopped because the wife kept complaining about echos on the line.

Edit: Whoops, just noticed you're only using sipdroid to set up a pbxes account then actually running it through Gingerbread's built in sip. Never mind. :) Good tutorial btw.

I used sipdroid for a while but had issues with audio going in and out. Since I switched to csipsimple it's been great though. YMMV of course.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheManii:
This guide thing was copy/pasted across like every xda subforum so stuff like step 8 has to do with the fact it's not customized for whichever device forum it's posted in.

Cant comment on how well it works though, just pointing that out

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] life02:
better than what I get with ATT... LOL
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Z4nd4r:
It's just the built in SIP provider on Gingerbread (which is on CM7 since it's GB).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shellite:
That is correct.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crump84:
I was getting the same thing just using Sipdroid. There was either a delay or a bad echo.

I'm going to give this a try, hopefully the call quality is a little better. I need something till my Airave comes in.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yerfdes:
Im interested too.. will this work in any country?like here in the philippines?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheManii:
Yea i mean the part where it assumes CM7 is available for the device

i think that you should have pointed out that google voice supports only the US for now...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martonikaj:
Well AFAIK you can't get a google voice number in Canada right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alnova1:
Not be a **** but its easier to buy GrooVeIP. All you have to do is enter your google voice account and thats it..works great.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
No harm taken, and that is a good alternative.

The main benefit of using this method is that you are using the native sip stack built into your phone. The dialer doesn't change. It just adds the option to make internet calls or regular cell calls and it's free plus it has more options to configure.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ahhlix:
actually this is better than GrooveIP because GrooveIP has an echo that everyone complains about, this worked way better. Thanks for the walkthrough
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Well i have some good new for you. Here is the solution for your googlevoice problem. http://www.labnol.org/internet/get-g...-number/18425/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I have some Good new for you guys then! Here is your solution for GoogleVoice. Yes it can work in Canada. http://www.labnol.org/internet/get-g...-number/18425/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
No Problem. I've used GrooveIP too and I think the quality is substandard. This is A+.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I did mention that you need to use cm7 or asop! 2.3.5 or higher. This is an awesome solution though! If you guys have any questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Yes this is the best solution. However google voice will only work in the states but I also have a work around for that! So in short yes you can use Google Voice out of the states. http://www.labnol.org/internet/get-g...-number/18425/

This works perfectly calls in and out, no echo!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Oh yeah! Quality on WIFI is A+. No lag no echo! You guys have any more questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Actually there is a work around, I thought every knew that! :P Here is the link! http://www.labnol.org/internet/get-g...-number/18425/

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Yes what he said! Seriously the quality is A+. This is the best solution out there. You guys have more questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Sorry it took me so long to get back. Yes this works perfectly! GrooveIP echos and I seriously think this way is so much better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krohnjw:
AFAIK pbxes.org doesn't supply a DID for incoming, only SIP. This is for outgoing only, yes?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Actually there is a work around for Google voice if you live out of the US, but before I give you the link. I have to say that GrooveIP quality is sub pair, eckos etc. The call quality on this is A+. I was posting in general just cause I know a lot of you guys have androids. Got any more questions feel free to ask!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Yes you can receive and make calls. It works perfectly. Like the nike commerical goes, JUST DO IT!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krohnjw:
They offer DID's (Not just a SIP address in)? An IPKall DID appears to work as well, but a DID direct through pbxes.org would be preferred.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinay427:
Well there are 2.3.5 CM7 betas for the Atrix (I'm running one now) so it's not totally useless.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Well if your running ginerbread you should have the native SIP stack built in. This is the best solution for anyone trying to use VOIP on their device. Peronally I tried all the solutions ipgroove was probably the best alternative but the quality is soo sub pair and echos. This just uses your phones native SIP stack!

If you got any questions let me know!

Hmmm... maybe i didnt need sprint to send me that free Airave..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] retired_mnbooze:
I feel like I'm missing something obvious...

I followed the steps in the OP. My call settings show "Receiving Calls", I've removed SIPDroid, but when placing a call via the internet, a nice lady tells me that: "my call cannot be completed as dialed". Any suggestion on a missed step? Is it the format of the number dialed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] muppetman462:
I had this set up over a year ago, but of course I did the google voice, sipgate. sipsorcery, sipdroid set up. Took forever to get it working.....now I have an airave....but it's nice if you are traveling internationally....jump on wifi and make a call :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Si_NZ:
Ok I've now enabled Google Chat, my next problem is that I don't have the create account button in SIPDroid. I read somewhere that I need to create a temp Google account, which doesn't make any sense to me?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crump84:
Works fairly well, little static and still getting a some echo on the other end. This is while having to a strong WiFi connection... better than getting dropped calls in my house though. Hurry up Airave!!

GrooveIP had an echo on mine as well until I read and followed the instructions about adjusting the microphone gain. Have you tried that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lschroeder:
I tried to make work. Followed Youtube tutorial. Get message Call by Google Vocie. Mobile Network not Available. What am I doing wrong? I can text with Google voice. If I did not use Google Vocie got message Mobile Network not Available.

I tried calling my google voice number and I got missed call on my nook. Any clues?

Edit: I got it to dial number but cannot hear or talk using usb headset. I can get sound recorder app and skype by itself self test usb headset mic and speakers to work but nothing with phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JeramyEggs:
Really, I have an old dinc that I use without any phone service, and injury works great. I would think using wifi would not add minutes. Do they charge for Skype, tango, or any of the others? I think it would be illegal for them to monitor your internet browsing on your device....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbexpress:
Fingers crossed...

Wowie, I think I set it up right and it appears to actually work! However, I will not know until I make a call during normal hours (to see if it uses minutes). It should not show any used, correct? This has been one of two deal breakers for me not moving to GB, but between this process and having a ROM that GPS for real works on (Biffmod v1.3), I think it's ALL good. Thanks much!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bassmadrigal:
How does this do on battery? I have heard when you have it set to receive calls, it takes quite the toll. I am currently using GrooVe IP which basically uses the Google Talk push system for me to receive calls, that way, it doesn't take any extra battery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prboy1969:

but then again not everyone does betas..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cnstarz:
he didn't really clarify this and it took me several tries to figure it out:

On Step 3/Step 4, when you click the button to create a new pbxes account to be linked to your google voice account -- when you're setting up the password, it has to be the same as your google voice password. i tried creating my own password and sipdroid would not connect. tried this several times. it wasn't until i used my google voice password that it worked. and then you have to use your google voice password again in step 7 (which he already mentions).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rrryan2:
The instructions weren't 100% crystalline and it took me a couple tries to get it set up after watching the video, but now that it's working... it's pretty great.

I was on the verge of caving in and signing up for a paid Line2 account this morning, but this method so far has the best sound quality of any of the free VOIP/Gvoice options I've tried so far. I'd previously tried CSipSimple using a free Sipgate account, but the audio was so poor it annoyed people on the other end.

Using this PBXes method people at the other end say there's a noticeable but slight difference in quality, but it's still acceptable.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I'm sorry about that! Well i'm glad you figured that out! Yes in sipdroid you actually install it write down your info, you do not need to actually set anything up. It's just an easy way for people to set up their pbx account! Sorry for the confusion! If you have any more questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
No problemo glad i could help. This is just a basic guide for newbs but pbxes is actually some pretty heavy stuff and configurable for the patient. You might want to go into your router settings and do some QoS but it really not needed. I did just so it gives my voip priority over everything else. Also if your internet has a bad ping(lag) then that will also effect service. If it is over 75ms, i'd call your ISP and tell them to get there buttocks out there to fix it. If I think of anymore ideas i'll let you know!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
If you are using Wifi it shouldn't charge you a sent. However using calls over data will always use your data and if you don't have unlimited data then technically that is not free! Hope that dears that up! If you have any more questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
I've yet tried it but I see no reason why this shouldn't. If you have any more questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
GrooveIp is ok, but the call quality is poor compared to using androids built in native SIP stack. Plus this method is free and to be serious it takes less then 5 mins to set up. The call quality with this is A+. GrooveIp in my opinion is a C-. If you got any more questions let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rrryan2:
Probably not, at least not completely free. Google Voice charges $0.10/min for international calls if I remember right, not sure this method gets around that completely.

Of course, $0.10/min is probably cheaper than cell provider fees for international...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheTodFather:
Viber is nothing compared to this method. Viber has to be set up between both parties and it sound quality is subpar. I promise you if you try this you will be shocked about how good the quality is. This works right out of the box. Once you set it up you can call anyone and receive calls from anyone unlike viber.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Notorious544d:
Just to clarify, you can make calls to ANYONE over Wi-Fi or 3g? Or is is only to certain people (like Google voice members only).

There has been a lot of VOIP services like Fring/Viper etc but for those services, it only works Fring to Fring (for free) and Viper to Viper (for free).

So is this to *any number* for free over the internet?

Sorry for my over-excitement, if this is true, this is absolutely awesome.:D

To be honest I've used grooveip,viber,Sipsimple and they just don't compare to the quality you get from using the built in native SIP stack on your phone.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Having an issue with actually getting it to ask if I want to use the wifi calling though.

I am on a stock 2.3.4 Nexus S on AT&T, could my lack of cm be a problem?

I got it to even show my account name and that I am receiving calls etc, however unless it uses Google voice when asking what you want to place you calls witb (crossing my fingers that this is it lol), then I haven't seen where I've gone wrong and why it would not show the option to use the sip.
