I've tried this but unfortunately every ipkall phone number i get assigned is apparently already in use in someone elses google voice.

tried call the area codes ipkall provides and repeatedly cancelling and re-creating ipkall accounts in hopes of getting a previously unused number :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
I am wondering if you could just use a Sipgate number.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] M@XLOL:
I'll try to help with his tomorrow. Magnus walked me though this this afternoon and there were a few hiccups but it's working flawlessly now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kkwus74:
Yep you can...but you only have 60 free mins with sipgate.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kyrumo71:
I can make calls but when I call my google voice number back all it does is ring 6-7 times and the go to VM
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
M@X thank you for that. I am guessing the hiccups that you had are the same issues that I had.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] popularbelief420:
getting the same issue.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
There is another way to do this, but it isn't as clean. You need to obtain a Sipgate account or any SIP provider that allows free incoming calls. Once you have that, you register it with your google voice account. Then you will need to configure Sipgate with either sipdroid or csip.

To make outbound calls:

On the tab, log into your google voice account. You will then be presented with a web dialer and can select the sipgate account to have the call sent to

Inbound:

will ring your sipgate account
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] M@XLOL:
This man knows what he's doing.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
I found out what I was doing incorrectly. Here is a run down that will hopefully help everyone on a way to do this.

Step 1: Download SIPDroid from the Market Place

Step 2: Obtain a google voice account

Step 3: Launch SIPDroid and instruct it to create a PBXes.com account for you with your google voice account information

Step 4: Go to IPKall

Step 5: Go to the settings of SIPDroid and write down the first account information (should be XXXX-200@pbxes.com)

Step 6: On IPKall, put in the XXXX-200 for the sip # and pbxes.com for the sip proxy

Step 7: Register your IPKall number with Google Voice (if gives an error ask it to Verify the information. It will then dial your SIPDroid software and ask for a 2 digit number. It might take a couple of times before it recognizes it.)

Step 8: You are now ready to make calls and receive calls.

There are a couple other options that remove the need for the IPKall, but it requires having multiple SIP accounts setup. I currently have 3 setup on my Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] M@XLOL:
Is there an advantage of using three sip accounts?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
None, I just have 3 because I was doing some testing. I use the one with PBXes, Sipgate and also a pay account with AXvoice. AXvoice is nice because you could use it for you home account too in place of a land line.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlpineM3:
Anybody get this procedure to work yet?

A tutorial with pics with be a Christmas gift to some of us, but thanks anyways for the heads up!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlpineM3:
Ok, I just gave this a shot and now I feel worthless....I have no idea how any of it works or what to do. I feel dumber than ever, I'm going to sleep now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kyrumo71:
This is what worked for me
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
Alpine did you follow the walk through that I made? I have heard that PBXes can be a little glitchy. It is simple to test too. You can try dialing your IPKall number and see if it rings your Tab. That will tell you if you have that setup correctly.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlpineM3:
To be honest with you, I just don't understand the lingo. I'm confused as to what some of these things are and what exactly to do. I don't really need calling on my tab, but us Sprint owners have been soo lonely and a bit left out with Devs work so any news is good news at this point
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] msgfromside3:
Why do you set up IPKall while sipgate provides you a free local number as well? I am not seeing sipgate in your instruction so maybe I am making an incorrect assumption that you are using sipgate and ipkall?

I am currently doing the same method minus ipkall with sipgate. I have to use GV callback to make outbound call to avoid minute charge from sipgate.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
This method doesn't require you to use GV callback. I put in two ways to do it. One uses the actual google voice website and CSIP w/ Sipgate. The other is the way described with the first post. It uses Sipdroid to handle all of the calls.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lasvegasx:
1) simple all you have to do is buy a google number $10 when u buy the google# it will give u more options when to foward the call what number u want it to forward.

2)buy a gizmo acount for less then $ 5 dollars at ebay o iofer

3)download csipsimple . Get your user name from gizmo5 and password and the sip info is proxy01.sipphone.com this info goes in csipsimple on basic.done with csipsimple. Now we go to google voice set up fowaed call to gizmo 5 we use the number from gizmo start with( 747) 567 1234 verify number and walllla. Done. Now we download google callback mede by xinulu great app worth the pay. Set our info there. Free call plus when they call our google number the tablet ring sweeet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Benefits to my method:

-works

-FREE

-works

-people see your gv number instead of ipkall or a new number

-no waiting for gv call back

-use GT as a phree phone

-phone

-phone

-phone

-hear GT ring :D

i got my method to work after 2days of having the tab,thru some reading and googling...i figured if i put up my method(findings) it would help ppls with cdma to calls...sorry i cant make it any simpler.Ikyo did clarify a bit so thank him for that, but i just posted the easiest method of execution for myself...i will put up some of my references that may help others stuck...

there are countless ways to achive this if you want to PAY. i already pay enough for my evo plus 23 xtra for this tab and its not my full time phone yet,so i do not want to pay to set this up if i can do it for free just using my buddy google and my brain. for me this is not cheap but logical. i simply dont care to shell out more moneys if i can achieve desired effect for freeze.

this does work...because i walked m4xLOL thru it and he had it in less than 12min. if my method doesnt work for you...just google and dont give up until you find a way...thats how i do it ^_^
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
thanks ikyo for all your help here... ^_^ ive been busy sorry.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
Instead of paying each month for calling, why not donate to XDA-Developers? If you need a more detailed explanation, I am sure we will get some pics up soon.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TANK MONTANA:
I cant figure out how to configure the csip app on my tab. I wanna try this method but im having trouble.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] X1088LoD:
What does the "kb" mean "when dialing a number hit enter on kb instead of the #5 for sipdroid dialer"

I'm on the last step but cant get it to recognize the two digit number. Appreciate any clarification.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
CSIP only works if you are using the webpage to interface with google voice. If you are using PBXes.Com you will need Sipdroid.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] steb0ne:
It means keyboard... When u click the Phone number field, it pops up the keypad for u to enter a number, then press "Send" to initiate the call.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lasvegasx:
Mangus i was given another option how to get free call in and out with out having to use sipdroid ipkall google voice sipgate i set it the first day. See what i like my nexus one and my tab ring the same time i have save alot of money only spent $ 15 dollars last year still getting free calls it is free this is a hobby if u like it you have to pay.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] X1088LoD:
I cannot select anywhere that pulls up thr keyboard. Is it supposed to be that box at the top of thr #5 keyboard? Ive tried everything to select it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vanklay:
what are you talking about? I would like to know more on how you have call in and out and your phone ring with the tab. Cost of $15 yearly WOULD BE GREAT.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lasvegasx:
VANKLAY do you have have google voice? Get a invitation

2) do you have gizmo5? If not buy at ioffer or ebay.

3)download csimple and google call back from market. If you have this i will show you how to get calls in and out from ur samsung tablet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 2kmy477:
Can you show me how to make calls out from my Sprint Samsung Tab?I got everything you mentioned(GV,gizmo5,csipsimple & google call back),can I PM you for this?thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
not true. ive been using csip since i like the dialer better than sipdroid(i use them both no issues)...using pbx.es account info that sipdroid setup and the same credentials added to csip app works just fine.i will make a vid of me calling using it with the setup i listed in the op. No webpage interface, that would be ftl...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kyrumo71:
Thats what I did but I deleted siproid and csip takes incoming and outgoing calls with no problems
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] X1088LoD:
@Magnus

I am unable to enter the 2 digit verification code from Google Voice on the tab. I know you are supposed to enter them on the keyboard, not the keypad, but I am unable to pull the keyboard up anywhere. Is it the box at the top of the #5 keypad? I cant get it to recognize. This is probably pretty common sense but I just cant find the keyboard anywhere.

Appreciate the help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
It is the #5 keypad. You will have to do it a couple of times to get it to recognize. The best suggestion I have is to do it slowly.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lasvegasx:
x1088lod download (xlite from counter path) free enter your gizmo 5 credentials . when your verified withh google voice computer ring and verify done
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lasvegasx:
To make and receive calls:

Step 1- Download all the required apps and sign up for all needed accounts - gizmo5/sipgate Google voice(you need an actual phone to register Google voice)

Step 2- Register your gizmo5/sipgate number with Google voice. This part is a little tricky you need a sip phone to register your sip number. Because what Google voice does is call your sip number and gives you a two digit number to enter to register it. Once you have it registered click the box so it forwards to that number. What I did is used these set up instructions but set up my gizmo5 number with sipdroid on my droid first and then Google voice could call my sip number because it used my network number to forward but an easier way might be to get free sip phone software for your computer and use that to register your sip number with Google voice. I haven’t tried this but hopefully someone will try it and let us all know if it works in the comments.

Step 3- Set up sipdroid or csipsimple. Go into settings and set up an account for username use your sip number or sip account name for password use sip account password for server/ proxy for gizmo5 use proxy01.sipphone.com for sipgate sipgate.com

Step 4- Set up Google Voice free call. for user name use the Google email that your Google voice number is activated with and password use the password for that account. Then for call back number type in your sip number and don’t forget the 1 in front. Then set it to use Google voice to make all calls.

Step 5- test it. I use dialer one on my phone so I use it on my tablet too just go into it and dial anyone you would like and see how it works. GV free call will place a call to you, you answer it, and then it will call the number you dialed. on the receiving end they will see your Google voice number so now you will have the same number for calls and texts.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] specmac:
I struggled with getting the GV verfication also. After doing some searches, figured out it has to do with the DTMF tone mode. I couldn't find a way to configure this in Sipdroid, so I installed CSIPsimple. Then went into Settings>Media>DTMF mode and select "in band generation". After that, GV accepted the verification.

By the way I'm running a T-mobile Tab. The original post might miss lead folks to thing this is specific to Sprint or CDMA Tabs, but should work on all carriers.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bigrushdog:
You're making me wanna run to the Sprint store mag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quattr0:
Which sip account did you use with ipkall? I've tried sip2sip.info and no luck so far. Neither Sipdroid nor CSIPsimple would register. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] specmac:
Using the pbxes.org account I created using Sipdroid.

I had trouble figuring out how to get ipkall to accept it as well. But eventually got it.

Just used the instructions posted by ikyo except Sipdroid created my account under pbxes.org instead pbxes.com.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
I dont see where SipDroid makes this PBXes account for you.... its not in the settings or anything.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
There should be a box at the bottom that says something about create or link account.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quattr0:
OK thanks. Got it to work. I was hoping I could get free international call thru SIP lol.

So i guess for those who do not have a phone # and want to use the tab as the phone (Sprint & Verizon users) and those who do not want to flash their tab to have the call feature (AT&T & Tmob users), use this method. This method is also allow those who have a phone plan that do not use plan minutes.

Sorry if I stated the obvious but it coudl be tricky lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] msgfromside3:
For y'all who have made this work, how is your conversation latency? I called my mom over the weekend (t-mobile cell phone) and the latency was as bad as using cheap calling card to make an international call. She first thought that I was not able to hear her. lol

I am using sipgate + pbxes.org + google voice for call back. If there is any trick to improve the latency, could you please share it out? I saw one person mentioned adjusting latency but I cannot find it from my sipdroid either. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
If anybody could elaborate on Magnus's "tutorial" in the OP, that would be great.... it doesn't really make... much sense :P

I understand the general concept... but the videos don't help other than proving that it can be done, and I never doubted that in the first place.

There seems to be about 10 different ways of doing this, and all 10 different ways require different accounts, steps, etc... If someone can generalize which way is the easiest, most efficient, and then put detailed steps in the original post on how to set that up I think we would see much better results.

/still can't find where to register a new PBXes account on sipdroid.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
Try following the steps I outlined. They are a fleshed out version of Magnus'. There should be a square at the bottom of Sipdroid that says link account or something similar. That is what is needed to created the PBXes account.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quattr0:
Can't dial out anymore

Guess I spoke too soon. I was able to dial out yesterday using Dialer but today, it keeps saying incomplete number please try again later.

The only thing I did was to remove my cell phone assignment from GV. I still have IPKall # associated with GV. Anyone know why i can't dial out? The tab does ring when I call IPKall #. I just can't dial out any #. Weird.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
If you add it back in, does it allow you to call again? Are you also making sure you are using the pbxes sip account?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] specmac:
The dialer in Sipdroid doesn't work for place outgoing calls. You have tap in the number area and use the android keyboard to enter the number.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quattr0:
Sorry I meant to say the Dialer comes with the tab, not the SIPDroid dialer. Yesterday when I dialed out, it would ask me which SIP program (I had 2 installed yesterday SIPDroid and CSIPSimple) and I just picked one and it dialed out no issue but not today. It just keeps saying the number is incomplete/invalid please try again later.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] specmac:
My tmo tab didn't come with a stock dialer. I have to use either the Sipdroid application or csipsimple to dial. Also one or the other as to be active and showing up as "Sip Registered" in the task bar or I have no phone functioality.

Sipdroid integration with Google Chat

I was wondering if you someone could explain Sipdroids integration with Google Chat. Before I could get Google Voice to verify with Ipkall, I lost the ability to receive calls through my other phones that my Google Voice number was forwarding to. When I unchecked to have call forwarded to Google Chat, I regained that function.

I've since got Google voice to verify and now all calls to the Google Voice number are forwarding as they should.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
right if they dont reg you have no calling. you have tmo tab. just toss on a proper euro rom. you can also use HID bluetooth profile(kb,mouse,etc...) i am within my 30 days still and when i found out that sprint aka stripd ripped out that capability so we had to buy their proprietary HIDs i felt compelled to vomit. i may be getting tmo tab now. i have 10 days.....

only if you grabbed the sipdroid built with that functionality...i still dont have that one. but i dont use gv dialer or call back yet my number is displayed.

I think I figured out what went wrong today that I can't dial out. I logged in Gmail and it says my acct was accessed from Germany. thought I got 0w3n3d so I changed the password (it stated the IP accessed the account was from Germany as it turned out I think that is pbxes trying to access my GV account). I think this might cause pbxes to stop working.

I tried to log in pbxes.org with the xxx-200 id and it keeps saying wrong password where I know it's the right one. I just give up for now until I could log in pbxes and update gmail password. The site just gives me German when I clicked on password recovery. Need to wait for the wife as she knows German lol

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] 2kmy477:
+1.Someone please.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlpineM3:
+1
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quattr0:
Here we go....

1. Get a Google Voice account

2. Install SIPDroid from market. Launch it, at the bottom of the screen you will see this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=469298&d=1292878002 (you only see this the very first time running SIPDroid. If you don't see it, re-install SIPDroid or Clear data under Apps. I used the first method (re-install SIPDroid) so not sure the later one (clear data) will work. Also, make sure your screen size is not using density as you might not see the button. See here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9964599&postcount=65 )

Follow the on screen instruction to create your PBXES account. Close/Exit SIPDroid when you're done. If everything goes right, you will see a little green light on Notification bar. Please exit the app at this point as you will use CSIPSimple to verify GV number in step 5.

3. Here is the fun part. Go to http://phone.ipkall.com

Leave SIP as account type​

Select the area code for your IPKall phone number​

In SIP Phone number, put in your pbxes ID which should be your GV/Gmail ID and -200 so if your Gmail ID is quattr0, put in quattr0-200 or whatever is in Authorization Username field under SIPDroid, SIP Account setting screen​

In SIP Proxy, put in pbxes.org​

In Email address, put in your e-mail address. Don't use a fake one​

In Password, put in a password. This will be used to login IPKall​

4. Download CSIPSimple from market, run it. Click on Save button under Easy Configuration. Click kon Add account.

Put in your name in the Acount name​

Put in your pbxes ID which is your gmail ID and -200, quattr0-200 for example if quattr0 is your gmail ID​

Put in pbxes.org in Server field​

Put in your pbxes password in the Password field​

Click Save, you should see Account name with status Registered shortly. If not, you did something wrong in step 4. above.

You will also need to change DTMF mode under CSIPSimple as shown here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9933994&postcount=48

5. Log in GV, add your IPKall phone number and click on Verified, it will then call our your tab and CSIPSimple will pick up.Press the 2 digits number to verify your GV

You might need to go back to IPKall and get a different phone number if GV says this number has been used...blah blah blah. I have to try 3 times until GV accept my IPKall number

Once GV confirmed your IPKall #, you're good to go.

Don't mess with your Gmail password. If you change your Gmail password, outgoing call might stop working. You will have to re-create your PBXES account by logging in the web site and select Delete account option under Personal data. I have yet to figure out how to update Gmail password in PBXES setup. It was just much easier to re-create PBXES account as it only takes about 2 minutes

Your PBSES log in ID is your gmail ID (without the -200). I had to recover the password for some odd reason as the first time I could not log in.

All the above steps are just a rewritten of what MagnusRagnarok, Ikyo and Specmac had explained so thanks to these folks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Ikyo:
It is under trunks. If you click on it there should be something that says like GV.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
thanks brother that was awesome...i figured ppl could get it using my references and tuts.the only thing that helped me find it was that i knew it SHOULD work;so i googled until i found what i needed....thanks again ^_^
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] specmac:
I have changed my google password twice since setting this up and it has no effect on calling. Im still able to initiate and receive calls. I also got the message my google account had been accessed from a germany based ip address. Didnt like a third party having access so I changed the password. I have seen no illeffects.
