Hello,
I've successfully added a SIP account in the native client of Android 5.1 (Cyanogenmod 12.1) and people can call me on it, works great.
I can't however make outbound calls to my contacts from it though, I don't see any option for that anywhere. Any tips?
In my old Nokia Asha long pressing the number of a contact would automatically call it via the SIP account. Is there something like this in Android?

a few months ago I remember hearing something that t mobile was working on a application that would allow us to make unlimited calls at home under wifi...
I have not heard anything about this since, but are there other applications that can do this?
I have tried the goggle voice thing but I can't get it to work..
Thanks for you time guys, Tim

The google voice app doesnt let you make calls over wifi..it reroutes your number to your google one and makes the call still costing you minutes etc. But you can text for free through it. If you want to make free calls over 3g, wifi. A setup I found working for me...was sipgate, google voice call back app, and sipdroid app. You can receive free inbound/and make free outbound calls through 3g/wifi. The quality..from my experience is not too bad , but the person on other end of line might experience echoing thats about it. Also can take a bit of drain on battery. If you help setting it up let me know.
Tim here are the steps...figured it would probably help others that are curious also. This is the setup that worked for me..its somewhat of a lengthy process. To make it easier...keep open the Sipgate and google voice pages.
1)Before we start do you have a google voice account..if yes go to step 2 if not go to the google voice homepage and sign up for a free number.
2) go to sipgate.com sign up for a free account (you will have to give your cellnumber to recieve a key to confirm your new free account). You can remove your cell number from the settings page later.(You can choose to install their softphone software now or later doesn't really matter)
3) Once you recieve your free number from sipgate..(it will be a random number from california) go to the settings page copy the number sipgate given you , navigate to go google voice and add the sipgate number as the number google voice forwards to. Also make sure the number is set as a home number.
4) You will have to verify that number..with google voice..this when you will have to install the softphone software by sipgate. Have google voice call your sipgate number..and through the softphone dial paid just hit the 2 digit number given by google voice to confirm the sipgate number. (You can removed the sipgate software from your computer now)
5) The software i use to make outbound or receive calls..is sipdroid and gvoice callback which are both located in the marketplace and free. Download them both. There are other alternatives , but these are the two programs i used.
6) Once you installed both apps...open up sipdroid go to the settings-> sip account settings... now navigate back to sipgate settings page move your mouse cursor over the voip phone icon and click on credentials. Look at sipdroid now..and input the sip ID provided by sipgate as your authorization name in sipdroid ,the password, and the server is sipgate.com
7. Once you input everything.. sipdroid should register and you should see a green dot in your notification bar. Now open up Gvoice callback put your google voice account details in and put your callback number...as your sipgate number. For the callback setting you can set it as always..or ask it doesnt matter ...up to you. That should be it. ( I have mine to ask)
8. To test if you set up everything correctly turn on wifi...and put your phone into airplane mode. make a call ...there should be a prompt to make the call through gvoice callback once you make the call the sipdroid dialer will come up..and you will receive an incoming call from your sipgate number..just slide your finger up accept call and google voice will connect you to your actual call.
As for receiving calls your contacts will have to dial your google number and sipdroid has to be running to pick up the call. Once you accept the incoming call hit 1 on the dialpad and your connected with the other person on the other line.
*Another tip..to make sure you have everything setup correctly is..sipgate gives you 60 free minutes to make outbound calls..you should only use a minute or 2 confirming the number with google...if you notice your mins going down then you probably messed up somewhere.*
From my experience the call quality...is decent there is minor echoing that can be heard only by the person on the other end..but hey its free. You can also make calls of over 3g. Be sure to turn off sipdroid when you are not going to rly use it because..it can take a drain on the battery as it ..constantly registers itself. I read that you can setup pbxes..to route your inbound and outbound calls..which can help call quality and battery life as its tcp instead of udp , but it was too confusing for me to figure out.
Anways I hope this information helps...
Right now, I am unable to make outgoing calls from my Archos 43 running UrukDroid 1.0 (I've tested using stock firmware 2.3.26) and I don't understand how I'm supposed to make calls by routing my call through google voice if I have no dialer. My setup looks like this: PBXes provides SIP -> use IPKall for a free washington state number -> use to validate google voice with a softphone (I used 3CXPhone). The only successful way I've been able to make calls was using 'connect with phone' on the google voice site, which called my sip number -> address and I was able to receive the call using Sipdroid base. I'm not going to have desktop access to google voice all the time though, so I tried CSipSimple as well, which just hangs up right away (Sipdroid hangs up instantly when you try sending the call) The weird thing is, it shows that Sipdroid is dialing [email protected] rather than the actual number, which makes sense to me because it's an SIP dialer/client. Now, I want my calls to be routed through google voice, not sent to my SIP provider. What is the easiest way to do this? Thank you!
Edited:
Setting up a trunk and outbound route in PBXes or using SIPSorcery (it doesn't actually provide SIP) just plays some really weird opera music on every outgoing call.
I used fring for sip and that was working ok.
comes with its own dailer and you can use the normal contacts.
I setup SIP calling through Sipdroid and Pbxes just fine. Uninstalled Sipdroid and was able to make SIP calls over 3G/WiFi using the Android Native Dialer. Suddenly my SIP calling does not work any more. I did not change any of the settings. When making calls over 3G/WiFi the call connects but immediately hangs up. The call log shows the call as outgoing but lasting "0 minutes, 0 seconds." Anyone else having this problem? The Sipdroid app works just fine but I don't want it running all the time. Seems to be a problem with the Native Dialer perhaps? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I can make outgoing calls only if "Receive Incoming Calls" is checked. I would assume there is a way to make outgoing calls over SIP without having to accept them since I have GV forwarded to my cell number (yes I know it uses minutes but it saves on battery.)
Have you (or anyone else) had any luck making outgoing calls without having the "receive incoming calls" checked?
As you probably know, the versions of Google Voice beyond 0.4 have employed "direct access numbers" to speed dialing, in which a shadow Google Voice number is applied to each of your contacts.
In prior versions of Google Voice (0.34 and before), a common regional access number was used for all contacts. While theoretically, dialing could be slower, I've never noticed it. The advantage of the old version of GVoice was that you could add that common regional access to your "Friends and Family" list and get essentially unlimited outgoing calls. The problem with using the old version is that:
- you cannot get the application to cleanly install on 4.04 and up (at least, and maybe actually on earlier system versions, too).
- you cannot get notifications delivered to your stock messaging app
- the interface is crapola
- the options are limited.
I'm requesting a stand-alone app that intercepts outgoing calls (like GVMyNumber) and instead of initiating a call back, routes the call through the GV regional access number, regardless of the version of GV installed on your phone.
Alternatively, if someone knows of a way to disable shadow numbers in the new version of Google Voice, that would work too.
Any ideas?
hey there,
is it somehow possible to forward an incoming call to voip - if sip, skype, viber or anything else doesnt matter to begin with ...
or might there be an app around which i didnt find yet?

Pseudo forwarding to SIP/VOIP
Well it is very much possible requires double hopinng but it is possible!
Get a rebel.com account and register your forwarding phone number, rebtel calls you press 1.
Get a SIP provider who supports inum (I would recomend callcentric but there are plenty others as well). Get a sip/inum did.
In rebtel add a contact in your local number zone which is your sip inum or your Skype name, should you fancy M$oft proprietary standards.
Forward mobile to the rebtel local number. This should cost you local airtime minutes, or local rate if not under a monthly plan.
Voila, calls forwarded to your sip/skype Voip device, which you can pick from any place on earth without roaming fees.
Hmm did I mentioned that on the voip sphere everything is absolutely FREE!
Callcentric calling features also include, call treatments, virtual fax, voicemail and further forwarding with lowcost high quality sip rates.
Happy forwarding
