Are there any other apps like sipdroid which i can use to make calls through google voice...because with sipdroid its kinda hard for the other person to hear me and the it takes long for the other person to hear me.
Thanks
I use grooveIP , its probably the best app for voip with google voice, it costs five bucks but if you search hard enough on google you could find your self a copy.

There are a lot of guides available that explain how to get sipdroid to work with google voice, typically using 2 sip providers and a forwarding app. I suggest you search internet. GrooveIP is the only simple solution available.
Is there any easy workaround that will allow people outside the U.S. to make purchases from the Amazon Appstore? Amazon currently has GrooVe IP for $1.99.
Sipbri and 3cxsoftphone.
If you get this configured correct and if you are lucky you should be able to make and recieve calls. Except I think you may need a custom rom as I had the stock and it seemed that any voip didn't work for me. Just got a silent call didn't hear anything and they didn't either. If you have gingerbread with a custom rom you don't need voip software as it has it built in. Just I haven't ever got the receiving calls working maybe someone else would have better luck.

But how is it different?
Here's the idea. Add your Google Voice number to your Friend/Family list. Then use the Google Voice callback app (or use the Google Voice mobile website to set up a call). This will create a phone call that will start with your phone ringing. When you answer the phone, it will then begin ringing your other party. The genius here is that the incoming number on the caller ID is your Google Voice number. No minutes used.
Another bonus is that if you change phone companies, you don't have to change your Google Voice number. Assuming that is the number you are handing out to people, you'll always get calls. Add on to the list superior voicemail, and much better texting and it starts to really shine.
If I am diligent, I can go an entire month using minimal minutes. Since I am sharing minutes, this makes the other users on our plan very happy. =)

It is also helpful for people who would like to split their work life from their non-work life. You can specify conditions to connect a call to a work phone or home phone between specific hours, or you can use one phone with multiple voicemail greetings for different groups of people (family, friends, work, etc.). It lets you screen/block calls from specific or unknown people and send them directly to voicemail. You just have a lot more control over things.
Good point! I had forgotten about those customizations! It is especially amusing to set up a custom voicemail greeting for one specific person. When John calls and it says, "Hey John, leave a message old man!"

Hi, I can call someone like galaxy tab 7"? I can compose the number and call?
Use the search button next time 'cause this question has been answered a billion times..
But the answer is no, you can't call with this tab (yet) because honeycomb doesn't support the phone functionality. The hardware is present in the tab but the software simply doesn't know how to utilize it. Maybe when our developers get the complete source code for honeycomb they can cook something up but for the time being we have to use a real mobile phone to call with.
Uhh, yes you can call with this tab. Install Google Voice, get a free number, buy Groove IP from the Market, 5 minutes later you will have a giant slab of a phone.

Just as you can access US/UK video with a US IP address - you can get Google Voice with a US number.

I assume you are talking about using a VoIP provider? Is there any way of making FREE calls in to US numbers using Google Voice Callback or something similar? I've been unsuccessful in trying to make it work on mine (wifi only version)
I tried groove IP the call quality sucks no one can hear me but I am able to text from my Google voice number

This is correct ...and the first mod I did. Don't forget to click forward calls to gtalk in Gvoice. Scince my main number is ported, it rings and texts my tab and phone simultaneously. sweet. Only downside is wifi/teather required
Hey guys. What do you think the best voip app is for this phone? I wanna be able to talk to my brother, who is on T-Mobile, without using minutes. I did try Skype and had issues with it. But that was like 2 months ago. Thanks!

Can't I just use Csipsimple by itself? Or will I incur charges with it?
Csipsimple needs an SIP service, in order to use it. Sipgate is the easiest to setup with csipsimple. There are other services ouy there. Once u download csipsimple, u will have a list of services to use.
Definitely tango!

Hey guys I Installed GrooveIP, then I was Required to get Google Voice, so I Did! But for Some Reason had Nothing but a Headache with them!
First I Did All the Sign-In stuff, Next i Agreed to whatever it was it Ask me for. But Everytime I got a phone call I was Prompted to press 1 or 2, so I went into Settings and Checked the box to Supposedly Stop it, but it Never Stopped even After I Signed out and Uninstalled Both Apps!
Finally I actually had to Call Sprint for Assistance with Resetting my Voicemail or whatever it was!! Lol...
Guess its just one of those days!!
Thanx for the Help either way guys!
Also Any others Worth Testing out?

How do you use gtalk for voice through a phone?
I am really just interested in voice.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
GB roms support gtalk by default.
However, u can only call other gtalk users.
Thunderbolt, CM7, OKLAHOMA.
If it's just voice, Viber works really well for me, and the quality is stellar. It can be temperamental and drop calls, though, so you will need patience.
Hi All,
I am just 2days away from ordering my Lumia and I do a check to find my essential apps I used on my android phones.
One BIG app that I rely upon is a SIP client to make voip calls. This is really a deal breaker for me because I call upto 30mins a day internationally and cannot spend a fortune on it. I looked up everywhere and cannot find it for Mango.
Is it possible that I am mistaken, please someone help me with this and find an app that can be configured with a SIP provider like Actionvoip or Freecall.
I hope someone proves me wrong

Don't think it's completely what you require but how about Voxofon?
Hi just saw that app but they are a voip provider with their own app. So you cannot use their app for any voip service.
That's really sad news . Thanks for the help though.
anyone else pleaaaaaaseeeeeeee
there's a Gtalk client I believe...
Reply from Counterpath Bria :-
Currently there is no plan to develop any client for WP7. There are some issues with WP7 platform for VOIP applications (that may be the reason why there are no SIP apps currently).

Oh No. That answers the biggest problem. There is an app called Gchat but I think it is more like a Jabber client which does not have any way to even buy credit from Google and use it for outgoing calls on data
Ok since there is no client available I had to find a work around to do international calls. Only thing that I found worthy of mention was this provider called Rebtel which uses your local calls plus their local access number to make international calls.
I tried it and the voice clarity sounds fantastic. Only that I will need to spend on the local minutes too while I spend some money on their international rates. Even then call rates remain nominal and not something like 30c/min.
I will stick to this until MS brings out the required API for voip. Damn Microsoft come on bring out something. At least Skype so that I can buy credit and call from there
I'm using Freecall with MobileVoip installed from Marketplace, it work fine except the voice is on speaker.

Great advice then. My Lumia arrives tomorrow and I am going to try configuring my SIP settings of Actionvoip.
Meanwhile can you tell me if that speaker voice can be routed into Earphones when I plug it in?
At least that way we can have a good work around and a solution to this problem.
mobilevoip
im using mobile voip app (free from market) with Voip Stunt but the quality is very bad..
I wish there are more apps like Fring, Nimbuzz or Skype. Microsoft promised Skype since september and still hasnt come out yet.
Yeah it is a damm shame. This is the one app that I miss from my Symbian days, I sure hope Microsoft steps up the plate and makes sip clients possible on WP7, preferrably before my next big holiday in october, otherwise I will be forced to take my Nokia N82 as well !
So, I' keep reading that you can use Google Voice to make voip calls through wifi with tablets like my YP-G70. But I can't figure out how to do it. Every post I see anywhere says to just have it forward to Google Talk. I've done that, but still nothing happens...
Maybe I'm just missing something?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated, and I really hope I didn't miss a post that already answered this. 'Cause I really looked. =\
Also, any other app suggestions that could do this better would be awesome, too.
Thanks in advance!
Use Groove IP, and link it to your Google Voice credentials.

I can definitely recommend GrooveIP. And from what I can tell, you can now make calls straight from the Google Voice app using "Click-to-Call" (added in the new version of Google Voice).
I currently use GrooveIP still though, since it's most convenient. Calls sound fantastic if your on a good connection, slightly laggy over 3G in some cases.
Ahh, thanks! Installed and working gloriously.
... Although I feel kinda dumb now.
But thank you for your help!

Yes, the earpiece works with the phone feature only (just talking back & forth). Adjust the volume in the settings first before you make your first call. Talk about ringing your in ears, man!! The button, on the earpiece, only works the "play/pause" for your music on the Galaxy Player 5.0. So you'll to your phone the player itself. Cool? Cool.
Anyone get VOIP working well on their player? I've tried ALL combinations of different software packages with my 5.0 (grooveIP, SIPdroid, talkatone, etc) and cannot find one that offers a usable delay. Every single call I've ever made has has been laggy as hell - even with a full wifi signal, wifi security off, no firewall and fast internet. My test calls all deliver voice through the player with at least a second delay, and having a conversation is almost impossible.
I've tried playing with all the SIP/VOIP settings, played with call quality, codecs, everything! Some settings have made it marginally better but still not good enough. I also bought Tegrak overclock hoping maybe the lack of processing speed on the 5.0 was causing an issue with the codecs - even overclocked to 1.5ghz there was no difference whatsoever.
I'm running gingerbread, but I can't see ICS being any better.
Anyone have any ideas, or is the hardware on the player just insufficient?
Me too I tried all kind of settings with GrooveIP and Talkatone and I just couldn't get rid of the 1 or 2 seconds delay. I'm curious if anyone else sees the same thing or do you just not notice it? It's there.
Thanks!
