All,
At first this is an awesome site to discuss and explore options and meet top people... recently I'm trying to get a 2nd line and trying to see the options which makes more sense both usage as well as cost effective.
I currently have at&t 8525 and upgraded with ultimate Schap's WM6 Pro 4.22 ROM, I highly recommend here is the link for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350690.
I'm planning on getting 2nd line the options I have looked is, chainging sims is out of option.
Option 1: Signup an additional line with at&t and put call forwarding to my current number, but the disadvantages are I'm sharing the same minutes and forwarding may add some more cost.
Option 2: can signup with viatalk/vonage voip providers and configure their settings on my phone with voip settings, but I'm not sure those setting will work on schap's rom and also I read somewhare these voip's does not work when you are on providers network like 3G etc.,
Option 3: Skype but it seems that I have to get skype-in and minutes to receive calls from outsiders and I have never used skype.
so what is the best options for me or anyone is trying some new ideas please share it with me.
thank you in advance...
Any 1 guys?
You can try dual SIM holders, there is a plugin for the dual SIM holders being developed here.
thanks for the replies, is there any good voip's that I can use with my 8525 with schaps 4.30 rom ?

Hello,
I’ve read tons of tread in the forum regarding VoIP but I still can’t get my thick heard round it. I’m massively confused I definitely need help.
I’m wondering if there is any simplify tutorial in the forum of how to install VoIP, Sip, pleasessssssssssss?
I’m currently running Black 2.5 – Radio Version 1.41.00.10-Rom Version 3.29.707.4
Do you have a SIP based softphone account with a VoIP provider yet? Alternately, have you installed asterisk or 3CX server?
Also, VoIP isn't fully sorted on black 2.5 yet to my knowledge.
VoIP & Radio help.
Currently I do not have VoIP account with any providers, do I need one to get the settings to the phone, if yes which provider would you recommend pls?
Secondly I haven’t installed any of the software mentioned in your reply yet, I thought I’ll bump into step by step guide in the forum do that.
I think the last paragraph of your reply answers my frustration really,Its a matter of wait till VoIP settle on Black 2.5. keep me Fingers cross.
Hey! Least I forgot, how do I stream radio on my Hermes? I have no problem connecting to T-mobile GPRS, as well as my USB wifi router. But for some reason it will just not connect to no online radio station. Do I need to install something??? Leave it to the expects to help. Thx

Any patches for 2.5 Black yet?
It searches, tries to connect, but I get the following SIP response (after using Sip Config 2.0.0)
Got SIP response 481 "Call Leg/Transaction Does Not Exist" back from 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
I'm not sure but I read through these threads:

Is there a seperate WM6 VOIP cab available somewhere? I don't see the suggested files, so I assume that I don't have it on my WWE WM6 rom.

Well, as you may have noticed I've found those threads, but I saw that the most of the thread is regarding HERMES.
I was wondering if anyone with an Artemis has been able to turn on VOIP (native voip)
I did manage to install the package as mentioned in the threads above, as well as put in the right config files. Also, the "Internet Calling: Available" today plugin is correctly displayed. However, I cannot switch dial pads and I don't get the correct status (connected).
Same problem here
Setup was done with Sip Config Tool 2.0.1
The plugin is configured : "Always, if available"
When connected by wlan or activesync the plugin displays : "Kein Empfang"
Disconnected from network displays : "Available"
Hopefully someone can help me
Guys I've got it working just fine on an xda orbit. There does seem to be a little bug though and that is when it's says "Searching" and "Available" on the today screen. Available actually means searching and searching means available
When searching is displayed, click on it in the today screen and you might notice a slight change in the signal which means it has switched to voip rather than gsm. Go to the phone screen and you'll see that the network has changed to your voip provider and any call you make will be routed through them.
I have downloaded sjphone yesterday and configured it to use my sip voip provider and it works brilliantly. The sound quality in sjphone is absolutely brilliant compared to the native voip, you should try it.
Finally it's working...
I tried to deinstall the plugin and after prompting an error it worked
The homescreen plug signals "searching" but as you said before it means "availabe". There are still a couple of things:
1) no incomming calls... i can't find the stun settings
2) +4930xxxxxx format doesn't work, i've to type 030xxxx
3) doesn't work after standby
Which version of sjphone are you using? There seems to be nothing available for wm 6
Hi BlueD,
I'm glad it's working for you. I tested incoming calls and that worked nicely as well without configuring any stun. The voip I used were sipgate and callcentric.
There's a post somewhere on one of the big voip threads and the guys managed to customize the dialing plans so that you can dial without using the international format. Do a quick search on voip dialing plan and you should find it somewhere.
Well obviously it doesn't cause the wifi disconnects, hence making it only useful for dialing out rather than receiving calls, except ofcourse if you want to leave the device on all the time, but that's not a very feasible solution.
The sjphone I downloaded was the one for v.1.60.303c Pocket PC 2003SE, it works nicely with excellent call quality. I also think you don't really need native voip capabilities to run that, which makes me think we could have had this on WM5 hmmm...
OK.. just fyi - i got a little bit more success in using the native VOIP solution. I had to flash from the WWE 6 to the BnB 2 ROM, then install the VOIP.cab and SipConfigTool. Now i can receive calls, but cannot place any... not sure why. Also, when i receive a call the sound is CRAP.. probably some codec issue here.
What type of internet connection have you?
Have you open ports on your router necessary for SIP, inbound and out?

Yep I did. I got this confirmed by testing it with a softphone on my PC, which works great (same voip provider etc).
I recently purchased an unlocked T-mobile Dash and activated it with Rogers. I got the two lines put on it(one business number, one personal number). Everything is working fine, I receive calls, txt and voice mail through both lines. Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to make outgoing calls through the 2nd line.
I was wondering which if any of the wm6.1 firmwares or perhaps a add-on program would be able to activate the line selection on the phone. I am currently using the T-Mobile WM 6.0 firmware.
I have spent the better part of 5hours searching these forums and new firmwares but cannot find anything on the 2nd line support.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please any help would be appreciated. Someone must know if any of the 6.1 firmwares would have this feature enabled. I have tried looking but there nothing in the firmware notes.
I would rather not have to update one at a time.

I have two lines but I use a dual SIM adapter which allows me to switch between the lines for outgoing calls via an interface. This may be the way you have to go as well as I do not know of any other way to do it.
Well, I finally decided to try and put the Rogers firmware on the phone, that seems to have solved the line issue. It still would be nice to know if any of the 6.1 firmwares have the line selection in the phone options.

That is the most common way it is done, and it is the only way I know works for sure... So if anyone wants to do this I would recommend doing it...
Hi all , I'm looking for WM6.1or 6.5 pro with VOIP/ sip client enable. Can someone please point me in the right direction to find this ROM or how to make my own ROM using another phone ROM that already have the features I’m looking for.

Almost NONE of the Excalibur ROMS have VoIP cooked in. In order to use a SIP, you need VoIP actually cooked in. It cannot be installed. If you want a custom cooked ROM with VoIP, let me know and we can figure something out...

Sure if you don't mind helping me that would be great. I'm just looking to use VOIP on my excalibur using the Wifi and data package. It would be nice to learn how to cook a ROM with that feature. I'm shocked no one has done one yet.
SIP on dash Works NOW!
I have Dash with with Ricky's 6.1 Rose 1.2.
After searching forum for other phones I've found one CAB file that adds SIP functionality to the Dash. Apparently SIP stack is part of WM 6.1 and later. This thing just enables that. It integrates so nicely it even adds icon next to the antenna signal. Sounds nice and clear with very minor latency (comparing to other portable SIP devices). It appeared to support STUN, but I ran it only on local home net. Donkow if STUN actually works right.
I did tried it with other ROMs on DASH and it allays worked.
It's not perfect though: Main problem is audio out settings: as with other applications output newer to the internal headphone but to the speaker or external one. I've found no way to overcome that. Another quirk is creation of dial plan - not straight forward. You also have to create account settings file externally and upload it each time. (not biggie as it done only once). There are application to do it on the phone, but I wasn ot able to run it successfully on Dash.
I disable all dial plan options and pass everything through, letting my Asterisk do the job. I also disable all power management and leaving WiFi on all the time. Surprisingly there is no major hit on battery life, it last whole day or two with SIP and WiFi on all the time.
I'm expecting that someday somebody will polish this option and include it as standard in every ROM. As a fact for me to be happy with SIP, only output must be fixed, everything else is tolerable. It will make DASH nice little SIP phone.

Thanks for the info Sipcipro. Can you please post your intallation steps as well as the CAB file and or the CAB file link that adds SIP functionality to the Dash.
FYI
I successfully installed WM6VoIP.CAB which enables the Internet tab under the phone settings. However installing a sip config tool like, destr0_VOIP_WM61___SIP_Config.CAB , SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB or Setup_VoIP_v0.3.cab it appears that these sip config tools require WM professional
The file you have is the same one I have.
As I said before, configuration tools do not work for me, but it is possible to edit account config file offline, pack it and upload to the phone. Guide is here:

Good luck!
Let us know if you manage to resolve speaker redirection. This problem common for other applications like Skype and Fring. There got to be solution to that.
Cheers!
Ookba let me know when you would like to start working on cooking a Excalibur ROM with VoIP or if you found a cooked Excalibur ROM that have that feature alreadyand works good.
Hi everyone!
I wanted to know how to configure my HTC S620 Phone with WM 6.5 to use the $9.99 data plan and NOT the Smart Phone Data Plan.
I wont use it to surf the internet, ONLY FOR EMAILS. I feel like I will be paying way too much for the Smart phone data plan.
Can any one confirm that the $9.99 plan works? If so what configurations did you do?
Thanks for reading and hope to find answers!
I would also like to know the answer to this question, as before I switched to a Dash, I had the web service that is listed as T-mobileWeb service. With the 6.5 WM 3vo rom, I have no problem loading the internet. But when I switch to Kavana's rom, I can send and receive text and calls, but have problems with accessing the internet, and it refuses to load. Am I doing something, or are these two roms actually set up to recieve data differently?
Also on a side note, I would prefer to use Kavana's so if anyone can shed some light on what settings I need to change so that my internet begins to function again, I would highly appreciate it, and I believe it would answer both of our questions.
Thanks, and sorry for posting in this manner, but I figured instead of starting a new thread, I'd just add it here while it was posted.
I thought that you had to have had the 9.99 plan......
Didn't T-Mobile get rid of new people getting onto it?

on another website they have instructions for it but in your profile i left you a message with the link. i've used this method for a while with no issues but its not my own thought up solution so take it for what its worth.
