I have Skype runing fine on my PDA2K using WIFI however it doesn't seem to work at all well when I have only a GPRS connection.
I have a Vodafone SE V800 3G/UTMS phone and had 3G data working with an IPAQ 5550 although didn't get a chance to try it with Skype before getting my PDA2K.
Unfortunately the dialup networking client option that was in the bluetooth manager on the IPAQ appears to be missing on the PDA2K. Somebody has done this before on a XDA II see http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58&PN=1
however it looks like it is with an old version of the MS BT stack which I cannot load on to my device.
ROM ver: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio Ver: 1.06.00
Protocol ver: 1337.38
ExtROM: 1.22.162 WWE
Using broadcom BT-PPC/PE version 1.0.0 Build 3500
Any ideas.

Which GPRS service offering are you using? If you are using the bulk MediaNet from Cingular then I suspect if won't work. That GPRS connection is designed to support WAP and email only, so it only allows the use of certain ports. I don't know which ports SKYPE uses, but I don't think it's limited to Port 80.
It is Vodafone UK's mobile connect 3G/GPRS solution which on 3g is up to 384kbps download and it hands over to GPRS when outside of 3G coverage. I doesn't appear to be limited to specific ports as it works with HTTP, VPN, POP3, IMAP. There is an option to use Port 80 on the PC Skype app but I can't see that option on the pocket PC. At the moment I can't get even get my PDA2K to connect to my phone other than through a serial port. I will test Skype with a PC connected to my 3G phone to see if the data side works however it would be great for other apps if I could use the speedier 3G data connection through my PDA2K

The PDA2K is a 2.5G device - so 3G will not be possible through it.
Are you able to connect to other non-web services via your GPRS connection such as email or msn or the likes? I know with O2 you have an O2 Active connection for web/wap and Mobile Internet for everything else.
You could try to get a freeware telnet client and telnet to the skype server on port 80 to see if it can resolve and reach it - this is one way to prove if your connection will allow it.
Both O2 2.5G (PDA2k) and my Vodafone 3G connections (v800) work no problem. I have a connection from my PDA2K to my 3G phone using the 3G modem in the V800 phone across the infrared connection and Skype connects and works. I however want to use Bluetooth rather than infrared as I have to hold my v800 phone right opposite the infrared port on my PDA2K for it all to work. I can't however find a way to create a bluetooth dial up networking connection to my V800 on the PDA2K. On my IPAQ 5550 I had a Bluetooth dial-up connection to the same phone and it worked fine on 3G. :roll:
they troubleshooted that problem at some time (Bt dial up) of our BT

GPRS is not fast enough for making a skype call. It would also cost you a *fortune* in GPRS useage charges!!
3G is find in the down direction, but for VoIP, upstream is just as important. Anyone know what Voda 3G does upstream?

I was talking on skype over GPRS yesterday. Worked flawlessly. No delay on voice and no cutting of voice.
True, with the wrong GPRS plan you run up a cost, but otherwise it works fine.
3G's major flaw is the bandwidth limitation per AP. At 2mbit it just doesn't work well in populated areas. Besides, most 3G operators frown upon VoIP and file transfers over their network, hence trying to block it. Skype is hard to block since it cleverly looks for open ports, however, that causes voice cutouts and delays.
Hah! Try T-Mobile GPRS lmao. There is no way you can use SKYPE with TMO in US. NO WAY! If someone says you can there are full of sh.. I have a PDA2K and a XDA IIs. I tested them both with GPRS and it sounds like shi.. The only way SKYPE will work with no problems is with WIFI.
Vodafone 3G here in the UK maximum upload speed is 64kbps which IMHO should be enough for SKYPE latency could be a problem though. Unfortunately no futher forward in getting my PDA2K to dial up to 3G phone using Bluetooth. Does anybody know of a cradle that can hold the PDA2K and V800 so that the infrared ports face each other :lol:
Buying an xda2s and will join soon
You might look a bit like dom jollie when walking down the street though LOL. I use a voip and sip client on my 5550 and use this by the multitude of wifi access points around London.I have a voip pbx back at the office that i connect to and make calls from(out to the real world not to just other skype users) I have tried skype over GPRS 3G and wifi and found because of the limited bandwidth it worked in lumps of seconds at a time but was not consistant enough to be able to hold a conversation for longer than a couple of seconds (via gprs - Voda uk) and 3Gwork slightly smoother but still not as consistant as on wifi.This i can only put down to congestion on the networks.. Anyway i suppose i ambiased as i have access to pbx voip remotely..Another cheap way to make calls..LOL :lol:

Oh..i didn't say this..!! Skype is perfectly functionally...but..i wish use integrated voip of wm6..!
I use Internet Calling with my TyTN over 3G on AT&T (PDA connect plan) to my local asterisk server. My server sits behind NAT and my TyTN is on extension 500. My Asterisk server has a trunk connection to my Vonage softphone account for outbound calling. Overall, it works very nicely. There's a bit of breakup, but its quite usable. I'm working on a GSM610 codec now that will improve things even further.
My main issue is power. VoIP over the 3G data connection dramatically reduces battery life. It's like constant surfing with PIE.
I use it over T-Mobile's EDGE. Because this is not real 3G, regular calls can't be received while there is a data stream, but my VoIP provider allows me to forward to my regular phone numbers when the VoIP number is off line.
Bottom line, it works perfectly fine with the included software in WM6.
Just wondered if anybody in Australia has got VoIP working on one of the Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMS (I'm currently using CRCs one). If so I have the following questions:
What network are you on (I'm on 3).
What VoIP provider are you with (I'm with Internode at the moment mainly because I have broadband with them).
How did you configure VoIP? After my configuration it always says no network is available.
Is it a viable "cheap" phone option to get a large wireless broadband quota and do VoIP that way? This is mainly because I don't know what my fixed line availability will be for the next 12 months.
Can you do VoIP while using my phone as a "shared" modem (I can use that for broadband instead of getting a separate modem)
Do I need to be plugged into a wireless "LAN" to be able to use VoIP or is it ok to simply use wireless broadband outside of a corporate LAN?
Any ideas would be helpful, so I can determine if what I want to do is a viable option.
Thanks,
Ian
no this doesnt work in AUS, from what i remeber the service provider controls this part thus the reason its mostly disabled in these cooked roms.
When I tether to my phone to get on the internet with my notebook, it works fine until someone calls my cell. Is there some way to disable incoming calls...aside from forwarding my calls to another number? Or, I've got a Motorola Q9c that was replaced by another device...is it possible to simply enter my info ([email protected]) into the connection information and tether with that?
BTW, this is on a Titan with a cooked ROM, functioning GPS and 3.42.50 radio on Verizon.
Thanks!
I've read the thread for diamond voip solution, followed every step, but can't make this voip thing work. Since my tmobile signal is very weak at my office, I would like to use voip over wifi to make/receive phone calls through gizmo.
Anybody can help me out?
Check here.
Then use SIP configurator to enter your provider details.
Basically you can stop after step 2 in the wiki (use the 2nd VoIP file(s) listed in step 2), and then use the config tool to make it go.
Use Dontsleep Wifi to prevent sleeping while talking. Use AudioRoute to use the earpiece intead of having to use speakerphone/ear buds.
Make sure you enable the "Internet Calling" today plugin on whatever 2nd today/tf3d detacher/MTP utility you use to have a 2nd today screen.
OR.....
just seach for x-lite or SJPhone and use those over wifi. Both work just fine without using the integrated windows Voip. Make sure that your firewall doesnt prevent you from using SIP protocol or block port 5060
