For every version of Android since I think Gingerbread there has been an ability to add a SIP account for VOIP dialling in the native Google Phone/Contacts app.
When I open the Phone app, and go to Settings/Calls, I can enable Wi-Fi calling, but there is nowhere I could see to add any new Calling Accounts to enter the SIP details.
Have I missed something?

I am looking for a dialer app that allows the following DURING a call without switching to another app:
1) Note taking - so notes can be taken seamlessly during a call (such as phone numbers, confirmation numbers, directions, etc.)
2) Voice recording (I know about the call recording limitations already)
3) Dialer 'macros' for quickly entering account numbers and passwords during a phone call such as when calling a bank or paying bills.
4) A dialer pad 'hot key' so that if I have to switch to another app during a call, I can instantly return to the dialer in a tap or double tap.
I know that all of this can already be accomplishe with separate apps. I'm looking for all of this to work seamlessly in one dialer app. The current solutions with the stock dialer are too cumbersome. Does anyone know if any of the dialers in the market support all of these features?
Hello,
I'm trying to use a SIP account from cheapvoip. The account is set up correctly but when I try to use it for a call I get an error. (see screenshot)
I can use the same account in their app (Mobilevoip) but would prefer to use the stock dialer instead of opening an extra app...
I'm on stock rooted 23.1.A.1.28. People on Kitkat told me that they use the same configuration and it works.
Is this a Lollipop bug? Does anyone use VoIP with the stock dialer?
EDIT: works fine! SIP is deactivated by default on this provider. Had to activate it on their website. :silly:
Sorry for opening a new thread!
Hi,
is there any chance to get SIP Account Settings working on this smartphone. In the current Software there is just no option anymore. In my old Z3 Compact there is the option to create a SIP Account .

The same on my phone. I had a Z3C and also 6.0.1 and there was under "Calls" the section for adding a SIP account. With the Z5C and 6.0.1 there is no way anymore to work with SIP accounts. Sony removed a naitive feature of Android. Now I had to install a VOIP app to handle this. Is there a way to get the SIP account feature back?
I don't believe this what happens with the Z5C. Is it possible to get the feature back when I root the phone?
Although this is about a Samsung device, maybe this thread can also help you out: ( sorry, since I just registered I'm not allowed to post url's... But Google will help you )
I used the app QuickShortcutMaker to link to the sip settings. Make a link to “com.android.phone.settings.PhoneAccountSettingsActivity” or “com.android.phone.CallFeaturesSetting” on some other phones. No rooting required!
Apparently the functionality is still in there, only a direct link is lacking... I am using native sip on an Samsung tab S2 now
Let me know if this works for the z5 compact as well; then I might even buy one too!
Thanks for your reply. I found a entry with QuickShortCutMaker named: com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings. I insert my account details but the phone to not register. The entry tells me: Incoming calls deactivated. and I also cannot call out. In previous versions I saw a dialog how I ant to dial: SIM or SIP. After the the above steps I only can call out via SIM not SIP.
I also have the same problem using Android 6 on a LG G3. After adding an SIP Account using the activity "com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings", theese accounts are visible and can be enabled by calling the activity "com.android.server.telecom.settings.EnableAccountPreferenceAcitivity" - but the integration in the dialer is missing. So on an outgoing call there is no selection for the account to use.
On Android 6 on Samsung S5 Neo it works fine by using the activity "...PhoneAccountSettingsAcitivity" but this action does not exist on the LG G3 Android. There is an action "...SipPhoneAccountSettingsAcitivity" but it does not work.
What type of SIP calling is this?
Is this VoLTE SIP calling that would let you make a SIP Voice call using TMO's VoLTE services? Or is this some other type of SIP calling, like making a call through Google Hangouts?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can access the SIP call functionality built into Android. I can't see any settings for adding a SIP account for the Honor 9. I've tried using QuickShortcut and can add the SIP account but there is no option to enable it for incoming calls.
Any ideas?
No-one?
Bump. I've been on the same track, looks like more and more manufacturers remove the native SIP options. I've been tracking that issue for multiple phones (branded and unbranded) and I've seen a pattern: after Android 6.0.1 more and more models remove the (build-in !!!) functionality.
Most people probably doesn't have a sip account and rarely use it. Or people just use third party app for such purposes.
The built is SIP feature is more stable and strong on call. The manufacturer should not remove this feature.
Hello,
Throughout the years I was occasionally trying to get the native Samsung voicemail app to working with T-Mobile on U1 devices.
After my latest attempts I understood that the app's functionality and visibility at first place are determined by CSC code of the device. If I change CSC from TMB to XAA - the voicemail app appears in app drawer, but thinks that I have Google Fi service.
Question is - is there any chance that the app's logic can be modified to make it work properly on TMB csc code?
I just really hate the T-Mobile\Metro voicemail apps due to their bugs and overall clunkiness.
Attached is the VVM app by Samsung. I did try to check accessible '"activities" of the app through app manager, but it seems like they are not quite accessible although they have fancy names like "TMOSetupActivity".
Hello, any news about this please?
I tried your apk, like you I can't start app or see mvv on native dialer.
Thanks for this. I use google fi and didn't have visual voice mail. Now I do thanks to your app. The visual voice mail app now shows up and picks up voice mails and even shows the text version of them and I can play them directly on the phone without having to call myself or rely on Fi sending me text messages of the voice mails.
Note that this didn't do anything with the phone dialer though. Neither the stock or google dialer. So there's no quick link or tab to get to visual voice mail from there.
Bump, would like to use stock visual voicemail as well
