[HOW TO] Sipdroid- Free VOIP using Google Voice ---- Credit to DXF Member Snow02

I'm not sure what i am doing wrong here.

I installed GV, no problems. However when I run sipdroid and click on New PBX linked to my GV, I can't do step 5 because I don't see the last field labeled sipdroid password on my xoom. Any reason why it would not be there?

When i login into the created pbxes account, i have no extensions and no trunks.

[Snow02]

They've updated sipdroid since that screen shot. You just enter your gmail password for the account listed. That's it.

I did that, and the pbxes account gets created but the extensions and trunks sections are empty. Then I believe I see an error about not being able to connect.

[Snow02]

Try again, use a different pbxes account name. Probably just flaked on the setup.

Unless, the gmail account listed in the pbxes setup is not the one your google voice account is under. That could cause a problem as well.

Your inability to connect is because there's no extension set up.

Google voice is installed.

SIPdroid is installed.

I set up an account, screwed it up, and did so again with a different username, but the same google voice account.

Neither of them work. When I try to log into either of the accounts on bpxes.com, they show no extensions or trunks. SIPdroid no longer shows the "connect to google voice" option.

I'm going to go lay down now, and hope someone'll have posted an answer when I get back. I'm wondering if I could just manually put in all the information it wants, but then I'd need to work out WHAT information the sipdroid registration does...

[Snow02]

Sipdroid devs just announced no new auto-signups until May 2011 while pbxes adds capacity. The only way to get the google trunk is to have a paid pbxes account until then.

[Yue]

Alright, so how do I get VOIP on my xoom then? There has to be another way. If I've GOT to pay, how much will it be, what'll I need to do to set it up?

LAME... I just deleted my account so that I would not have to manually enter the info on a fresh install of a new rom... now i have no gtalk support and cannot get until may unless I pay is that correct?

[Snow02]

You realize it takes less time to enter that information than to delete and re-set up the account...smh.

That is correct. You are sol until may unless you want to pay.

[BarryHalls]

so if I pay 5 for a soho acct I then get access to the gtalk trunk setup page... awell 5$ a month isnt much I may just do that... LESSON LEARNED LOL
