I used Google Voice, Gizmo5, Sipdroid, and Google Voice Callback app to get free calls. Did this on my N1 before I got tmobile service, and was doing it all over wifi. It also works over 3g or wifi. The wifi route could be a great way to give your old phones that are collecting dust a new life, by making them SIP phones.

Here is a basic rundown of steps:

1) First get a gizmo5 account, I had one from before, but they stopped new users. If you want one then check out ebay, they are only $5-10. Once you have gizmo you will have a SIP number in that account which will be used in the next step.

2) Download sipdroid from the android market. Go to settings and click on the SIP Account Settings.

In the box for Authorization username put in you gizmo5 number (put a 1 before the number). In the box below labelled Password just put in your gizmo password. In the box labeled "Server or Proxy"

put in proxy01.sipphone.com . In username or caller ID box i put in gizmo number again with 1 in front (dont know if this is necessary, but mine is working with it in). For the box that says Port it should be set to 5060. Thats all you need to do for the SIP Account Settings.

Press back on the sipdroid app to get to the main settings page and select the Advanced Options. Click on "Use STUN Server" and enable it. For STUN Server name put in stun01.sipphone.com . Then for "STUN Server port put in 3478 .

3) Now just go to your google voice site on your computer and go to the Voice Settings. Under phones you need to add your gizmo number (no need to put 1 before the number) as a forward number (on the right there is also a drop down box, you need to select Gizmo as the type of phone). It will confirm dial to test the phone, your cell phone should ring now if you followed my exact steps.

4) For free outgoing calls download Google Voice Call Free app from the market (This is different than googles own voice app!). Simple put in your google sign in and password in the boxes. Then for Callback number put in your gizmo number (no need to put 1 before the number), on the drop down box select "Gizmo" as type of phone. Your done and now you have free calls incoming and outgoing.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
This post inspired me to purchase a Gizmo5 account on eBay this afternoon.

After a few minutes, I had it all set up and BOOM, calling worked immediately!

Wow, so simple, I wish I had done this before!!!

Thanks!!!

(Word of note: for some reason it wouldn't authenticate on my work's wifi, but worked fine at home. After Googling around, it looks like certain security settings aren't compatible with SipDroid -- I'm guessing most likely it's due to SipDroid needing a random open port -- so your mileage may vary. At home of course, you can do whatever you want so there should be no issue.)
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Glad this helped you out. I tried to explain each and every step so there was no room for error. I never ran into issues with wifi connections at home, starbucks, airports, hotels, but im guessing your work blocked alot of ports.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Yes I'm sure they did. Heavy security on the wireless.

Anyway, just in case someone needs this, here's the issue I found (seems it's a common issue):

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadywwf316:
Hi all,

I recently updated through the OTA update to Froyo 2.2 on a stock EVO 4g (not rooted or messed with at all). When I finished the update, I sent a couple apps to my SD card (like Where was one, forgot the rest, maybe Flikie wallpapers). After that, the SD card was somehow permanently corrupted, I couldn't even format it on the phone or through a card reader on a PC. Anyway, then I started noticing extreme slowdowns on my phone's Sense interface (even today after putting in a new card). For example, when I try to type a text message, I put like a few letters from the person's name and it takes a good 30 seconds to show the results as opposed to instantly. Also, when a call comes in, the number shows up for a few seconds until it recognizes the contact, etc. Could it be because without a working SD card, things were put on the phone and now the phone is full (even though now I have a new card in there)? Or does anyone know why else this could be and maybe offer a solution? Thanks, greatly appreciate any guidance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadywwf316:
Hi all, just as an update, I got a new SD card in there, factory reset the phone, and all was well. However, now, again, after a few days, when I open the SMS app, and type a name, I get nothing for like 10-15 seconds, then it starts processing my request and pulling the name I was looking for. Any idea what could be causing this? This is the only remaining problem I have after the factory reset and reinstall of everything basically.

Is there an easy way to edit the AndroidManifest.xml, and toss it back into an apk for me to try some FroYo apks out on Eclair? I've read all about apktool but it isn't working that well for me. I'm able to decode and extract the apk and edit the AndroidManifest.xml, but I can't figure out how to repackage and sign it properly for it to work.

I'm trying to get the updated Mms.apk from FroYo to see if it will work on Eclair. I wanted the number of texts per person to appear in () and some other new features from it. :)

Also I was hoping to get the Browser.apk as well as AOSP Music, Market, and maybe even see if i could get Flash 10.1 player to install on 2.1.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I actually still prefer Ubuntu with gnome, I've tried other distros but none have worked out as well. It all comes down to what you use an OS for. I like speed and stability. I use my home computer for an HTPC/ internet entertainment box ( no real need for big name games I use the ps3 for that). I like having an OS I can really customize (probably also why I like Android). The lack of worry for viruses is also very nice.

However if you have a need for high end gaming or more commercial software I'm sure you would be better off with OSX or Windows.

[Vibrant General] the_ahmadzais:
hello i have a chance to buy the vibrant when it comes out on 6th august or xperia x10 which u guys think is better? what makes vibrant soo good n special? and i heard in few weeks 2.2 will be available for vibrant and x10 is still stuck with damn 1.6 sony ericsson is so slow . thts the only part i hate about x10
[Vibrant General] gTen:
Thats a trick question because the Vibrant beats the x10 in every spec other then the megapixels on the camera :/
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
T-Mobile Vibrant hands down.

- Super AMOLED 4" (This is really significant.. you have to really use the device to experience what is so unique and amazing about it; i won't give you a lecture about what Super AMOLED is, google can do that)

- Android 2.1 and going on 2.2 very soon vs. Android 1.6 (as you mentioned)

- Samsung is a more 'reputable' phone (Galaxy S and above.. not looking at Behold II) brand than Sony Ericcson in the Android Community.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
The vibrant wins.

The x10 is outdated and more than likely never going to be updated. The megapixles is nice but the software side of the vibrant makes the pictures nearly identical. SE really butchered the UI and its so slow and clunky.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
@zephiK - you are forgetting the vibrant has more RAM, 2-3x better processor, and more sensors...
[Vibrant General] TRF-Inferno:
I've had a X10i before. That lasted with me for a mere two week before I sold it.

Nice looking phone, especially in white. Now this is where all the problems start: Android 1.6. This phone is supposed to be up to par with other Snapdragon phones like the Nexus One, but having 1.6 along with all the Sony bloatware makes this phone feel a lot slower than it should. At times, I felt like I was still using a MyTouch 3G with 1.5 Cupcake. Yes, it's that bad.

Next offender: Screen lacks multi-touch. Not really a big deal, I've done fine with a resistive touchscreen on a N900 before. The problem is, the N900 had a physical QWERTY keyboard. Typing at times feels hampered because if you try to type fast and press multiple keys occasionally, the phone will totally miss the keys that followed the first one. This also means your experience with games and emulators that supports virtual multi-touch controls is crippled as well.

The X10 is supposed to have a better camera, but from my experience, the 8 megapixel did relatively nothing for it. Picture quality was average, being out of focus often.

If you want an eye-catching phone but don't really care about how it performs, then go for it. From someone that has both phones, it pales in comparison to the Vibrant. Good news is that it can now be rooted, but there is still virtually little progress on ROM development for it.
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
I agree. Stay away from the x10!
[Vibrant General] the_ahmadzais:
Sorry guys I lied lol. I do have x10 but what u guys said.was all correct like everyday I look at my phone And stare at screen and think what should I do and get bored of checking the x10 forum everyday that when 2.1 comes. I did went to bell today they had demo for glalaxy s . I llayed with it sooo smooth n beautiful screen. There was a doodle jump gamr app on it . Wow the graphics ofsame game on.x10 and galaxy s soo different. I did fall in love with it but it doesnt come till friday. And whats the difference btwn vibrant and galaxy s ? When I checked gsm arena both looks different vibrant has more button or whetever u call it . Home button n bak button and.galaxy s that my provider is.getting has 3.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
They are slightly different, it can be kinda confusing.

For the United States there is no Galaxy S phone per-say, the vibrant is apart of the Galaxy S line-up, much like the Incredible is apart of the Droid line-up. The Vibrant is the tmobile version of the Galaxys, the Captivate is the ATT version of the Galaxys, the Epic 4G is the Sprint version of the Galaxys, and the Facinate is Verizon's version of it. So as far the the united states go, there is no "Galaxy S".

However Internationally the GalaxyS is a phone, The version you more than likely saw (3 button variant) is the international version. Esencially not much is different between any of the variants International or not. Some have a few things different like a front facing camera or a flash or other minor differences. But they all have the same cpu, gpu and such. The only difference is that the Vibrant is (US) Tmobile, while the "Three button" Galaxy S is the international version.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
Here is the confusing part..I think the Bell Vibrant is the I9000 aka the original Galaxy S...the Vibrant mentioned here is the T-Mobile variant which has the 4 buttons...

The Rogers one is I think same as the AT&T Captivate though...
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
I wish there was a Galaxy S(i9000) that worked on T-mobile's 3g network(AWS bands)

:(
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
My plan wasn't to list all the advantages but some several significant examples, we could go on and on about it but I just included whatever that I felt that was important. But overall in general, compare the two phone's specifications, the differences are two pretty huge. Vibrant hands down.
[Vibrant General] Trezzz:
I got my X10i right after its release and just sold it last week on ebay. It was a beautiful phone, with an amazing camera. and that was about it.

. No multitouch: extremely hard to overlook for gamers (because they opted for the cheaper digitizer clearpad 100 rather than the clearpad 200), even the G1 has multitouch

. incredibly slow updates: getting 2.1 while everyone else gets 2.2 is unacceptable

. its latest firmware updates has some weird wifi bug

. Timescape is not really useable: more aesthetic than functional

. Still can only be partially rooted

. Cant compare with Samsungs Super Amoled

Being a crazed sony fanboi, i was extremely disappointed with the phone as i expected a whole lot better much from sony

I'm waiting for the GPS fix from samsung before i get the vibrant

Try to reinstall the Timescape and Mediascape from the system/app folder, Initially it will give error command at the end of the installation. Afterall check whether Mediascape is working or not. if not try again- this time it must work.

Make sure that to do same with mediascape plugin.
