VOIP Applications, i.e. Sipdroid

[mike]

Does anyone have experience with VOIP applications for Android? iSkoot for Skype is sort of a VOIP app but the calls you make with it are routed over the voice network and use your plan minutes.

I just read about Sipdroid for the first time here sipdroid - Project Hosting on SIP/VoIP client for Android.

It looks like this app will let you make calls on WIFI and 3G. I will definitely be checking this out, although I highly doubt Verizon would let something like this run on one of their phones.

They have to let it run, Verizon have convinced people they want to run an 'open network' any device any application.

If they block voip applications there will be hell to pay.

I run an asterisk server at home so in about a week i'll be able to let you know if they are blocking SIP or IAX ports.

Got my Gizmo5 number verified on Gvoice using Sipdroid.

Got mine working too. Thanks for the link to the instructions.

Mine is working with my own sip server... BUT... when I make a call through sip, for some reason I loose the 3G connection logo, and gets replaced by the 1X one...

They might be doing some port prioritization, QoS or something based on the ports???

Can anybody post comments?

So this will allow you to make calls on a Wifi network via your Droid.

But will this also allow you to make calls using the Verizon 3G Data connection?

Taken from the Android Community link above:

"If you download sipdroid from the google code site and not the android market, then you can make calls on 3G/Edge in addition to wifi.

Does this apply to Verizon Droid users too??
I currently have Google Voice from the Android market on my phone.

I'm very interested in this because I have the 450min plan and I'm about to cancel my Unltd Text plan soon. I don't have the 5 Favorite friends plan which is only on 900min and up.

I don't use the phone that much to switch to the 900 F&F plan.
Some months I may peek over 450 but not by huge amounts, but that is with the Free Verizon to Verizon calls. Mostly my family have VZW and a couple friends.

Yep SipDroid does work on the Motorola Droid. Made a few VOIP phone calls last night over my wifi =)

Can you make VOIP calls via the Verizon 3G network?

Or do I have to be in a Wifi network to use it????

Someone in that link above said you can do both.

[adam8ch]

Yup mine works w/ 3g and wifi. Its an option under "call options"

[Chigga311]

Great I'm gonna set this up as soon as I get home today!!!!!

How come everyone isn't running this setup?

You can make calls from your Google Voice+SipDroid to Regular Cell and Landline phones right?
