FREE voice calls on sprint(CDMA) SGT UPDATE: added VID and Refs :D

UPDATE:
Here are some crap videos that show this working using both csip and sipdroid thru bt
BT CALLS
CALL & RECEIVE
SGT Call & Receive
this is directed at the poor souls that had to get cdma sprint tab and wanted phone function...i got phone working on viewsonic gtab easily with no radio,however gtab sucks compared to SGT imho. so i t n e'd much until i found a proper method of execution for cdma sprint SGT.
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:
google voice number(free)
ipkall number(free)
gv apk(free)
sipdroid-also sets up pbx for you(free)
FYI
(in order to setup your free ipkall it will ask for a #;this is not a standard #. it will vary depending on service...eg. magnus-200.use sipdroid to autmagically set up for you then just transplant the info properly)
1.)google voice+number and setup account
2.)grab free number from ipkall and reg it with gv
3.)grab sipdroid and let it setup a new pbx for you
4.)set this devce to ring thru gv
5.)open sipdroid app and make dial call...
test on wifi and data
when dialing a number hit enter on kb instead of the #5 for sipdroid dialer, or you will get the "this device cannot make calls error"...i will figure this out and eliminate it, however i dont see it anymore but i need to break thru it.
i have been messing with csip cus i like the dialer alot, however i cant get it to setup right anymore. i can get it to register, but not to call right...but sipdroid works great and i cant complain about free calling from my tab using my gv number
please post finding and results....
thanks

make sure that:
you are dialing with sip app not gv
(i prefer csipsimple dialer)
ipkall number is registered with google voice
that sipdroid setup ur pbxes proper
after sipdroid sets up ur pbx for you try csisimple as well
(make sure to setup as international carrier/pbxes in account setup and same credentials as sipdroid used for setup)
test using your primary line. since i set this up i do not use my evo very much since the tab is better in every way.phone is not as good of course but tab is not meant to be a phone here so i am happy with what i have accomplished for free. also you will have to adjust latency in settings to improve sound quality to your liking.

Sadly, there is no support for the Bluetooth Headset (with mic) profile on the CDMA GalaxyTab. This will work but you will have to use the built-in mic on the GT for your calls until someone either patches the BT stack or builds a custom rom with full BT profiles.
This is the exact reason I can't wait for custom rom development to begin on the CDMA versions.

MOTO S-9, the newer all black version works too please post results for others.

This works great!!!!!!!~

Care to help me out and get it setup? Once I have an understand of the right way, I could put a guide with pictures to help people.

I've tried this but unfortunately every ipkall phone number i get assigned is apparently already in use in someone elses google voice.
tried call the area codes ipkall provides and repeatedly cancelling and re-creating ipkall accounts in hopes of getting a previously unused number

I am wondering if you could just use a Sipgate number.

I'll try to help with his tomorrow. Magnus walked me though this this afternoon and there were a few hiccups but it's working flawlessly now.

getting the same issue.

There is another way to do this, but it isn't as clean. You need to obtain a Sipgate account or any SIP provider that allows free incoming calls. Once you have that, you register it with your google voice account. Then you will need to configure Sipgate with either sipdroid or csip.
To make outbound calls:
On the tab, log into your google voice account. You will then be presented with a web dialer and can select the sipgate account to have the call sent to
Inbound:
will ring your sipgate account

I found out what I was doing incorrectly. Here is a run down that will hopefully help everyone on a way to do this.
Step 1: Download SIPDroid from the Market Place
Step 2: Obtain a google voice account
Step 3: Launch SIPDroid and instruct it to create a PBXes.com account for you with your google voice account information
Step 4: Go to IPKall
Step 5: Go to the settings of SIPDroid and write down the first account information (should be [email protected])
Step 6: On IPKall, put in the XXXX-200 for the sip # and pbxes.com for the sip proxy
Step 7: Register your IPKall number with Google Voice (if gives an error ask it to Verify the information. It will then dial your SIPDroid software and ask for a 2 digit number. It might take a couple of times before it recognizes it.)
Step 8: You are now ready to make calls and receive calls.
There are a couple other options that remove the need for the IPKall, but it requires having multiple SIP accounts setup. I currently have 3 setup on my Tab.

Is there an advantage of using three sip accounts?

[Q] Blocking Mode Wont let Any SIP/VOIP calls Through

So I finally got my first Android device and I managed to set up my SIP accounts via SGN2's native SIP client. I can make/receive calls without a problem over WiFi and 3G - I'm happy with my unlimited calls
I'm a big Call/SMS Blocker fan. All my phones has an app installed that blocks ALL unwanted calls/SMS/MMS. So I was happy when I found out the N7100 has a built-in call blocker feature.
It does it's job, ok. BUT, it blocks ALL incoming SIP calls even though I set the settings to custom and added all my contacts with VOIP/SIP numbers to the 'Allowed' list.
The problem somehow lies in the way 'Blocking Mode' filters incoming calls.
All my SIP calls has this pattern [username]@[IP Address] - ex [email protected]
So, even though I already added the SIP numbers with the IP details in my contacts' 'Internet Call' field and the 'Allowed Contacts', the calls are still blocked. It appears only phone numbers aren't filtered out by the Blocking Mode
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you for your time and inputs
My SGN2 N7100 on stock firmware (no plans of rooting for the time being).

I'm guessing you've already verified that what the incoming number looks like matches what you have for their sip address?

Thank you for the reply.
Yes. I tried including all the details in my contact, from the default number to what it looks like when I receive a SIP call.
Normally SIP calls would show in the screen as: SIP[email protected]
The number is still blocked.

Interesting. I'm sorry I have no answers for, and I asked as I do not have any voip set up yet. I was suspecting your voip provider may have sent a base trunk address rather than the originator.
If you find a resolution, please let us know!

that might be your carrier. Who may not allow VOIP calls. e.g Skype does not let KaKaoTalk run voip calls on their 3g network etc etc

I was talking about the built in 'Blocking Mode' in the SGN2.
As stated in my initial post, I have no problems making/receiving calls over WiFi AND 3G.
The issue isn't network related. VOIP calls will go through just fine IF I DISABLE the Blocking Mode feature (i.e. allow all calls)

[Q] Best Google Voice setup for VOIP calls

What is the best setup you found for incoming/outgoing Google Voice VOIP calls on a (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus? Interested in apps that work very well over wi-fi only, not over mobile data.
I'm looking for something that has great voice quality and also integrates seamlessly with the native dialer so that when not on wifi it makes phone calls over the cell radio and when on wi-fi it makes VOIP calls using Google Voice.
I see pbxes.org mentioned a lot. Is it worth the trouble given that they store the GV password on their server and then from what I understand they have to re-code from the GV codec to whatever codec the SIP client on the phone negotiates with the pbxes servers - I hope my understanding of how it works is correct.
Other options I've seen mentioned: Groove IP, Spare Phone, Talkatone.
Not sure which approach works best, maybe the experts here can save me some research time.
And as a SIP client, what works well? I tried the native phone SIP client with a SIP VOIP service and it sounded terrible, not sure why the native one doesn't work well.
Thanks for your help.

I use groove IP no problems

Anyone else? What's your great Google Voice setup?

I use GrooveIP as well. But I really want to get my pbxes.org working on my call setting. That is what I am going to work on today.

Thanks, this is interesting but unfortunately it is too cumbersome to use by the person I'm setting up the phone for. I'd like a solution that's fully automated, use 1 dialer only (either native or a different app) that can smartly route calls via GV when on wifi (at home) or cell when not on wifi.

You can setup your PBXes account just like the tutorials (with SIPdroid) and then put the account info into the regular dialer. I think the extra steps to use the stock dialer were in a wiki somewhere or some external webpage (not on this forum).
You only need SIPdroid to create the free extension on PBXes and follow the tutorials to get all setup. Then you can go into the stock dialer and put in accountname-200, password, and then pbxes.org as the domain. You can choose to receive calls on wifi only or while on a data connection with a checkbox. I've heard that the codec used with the stock dialer isn't that great, though. It's one of those things you'd have to tryout for yourself.
One dialer to send and receive calls. It even lets you know if it's a data call or not. Maybe this is something you wanted to look into?

What SIP client pairs well with PBXes? I know the stock dialer SIP is very poor, I tried it with another SIP service and the call quality was mediocre, while their dedicated client worked very well, so at least I know it's not the phone hardware, it's the software.
I also read about potential latency issues with PBXes because they only have 1 server in NY. Is that still the case or the latency issues have been resolved? I guess in general I'm looking for a fairly reliable service though I'm prepared to accept occasional hiccups.

Mr.binglejellsx2 is almost correct. I have been deal with more than 15 apps to get best. create a account by using sipdroid. make sure you have got green dot and place one out going and incoming call via sipdroid. Exit sipdroid from your phone. go to pbxes.org and login under extension under sipdroid 200 (from left) than right, under device option retype your password. (means you are get ride of sipdroid and ready for new sip). in your phone open sipdroid and make sure your got yellow and exit. in your phone call setting, add new account, your username-200 password, server is pbxes.org under option make sure your port is 5060 and not uda must be tcp. hit back and your phone should say receiving call. If not working go to pbxes.org and re type password same extension and under personal data enter your password two times where required and submit start (means, you dont want sipdroid, the second sip and now ready for any new getaway which will be your native sip) this must work. I don't see best call quality anywhere. this is awesome especially for wifi. just like your carrier. I use this everyday for international call.. let me know if don't work. If works just enjoy..

Thanks for your reply. I've been using Groove IP with very good results over wifi (that's what I care about, Sprint 3G mobile data is so bad anyway that it can't carry a call). The paid Groove IP integrates nicely with the native dialer too, so the experience is good.

[Q] anyone had any luck with the native sip client for calls?

I've seen quite a few tutorials on how to make VoIP calls with sipdroid and Google voice. Has anyone been able to get their sip account connected to the native sip client in the phone settings menu and use it to make free incoming and outgoing calls. If you have what steps did you take to make it happen?

I have used my 2 account with native sip client for outgoing call and working.
I have just added account details

Just add user name and password and server name for your sip account (most of using [email protected] here xyz. Com is your sip provider.

I just tried it today. It's just terrible. Calling OK but conversations are choppy. Native SIP call has serious bug.
CSipSimple, Sipdroid worked well.
Edit: Solved, apparently my call recorder app was causing error

Were you able to make calls using your existing number or did you have to use Google voice.

I'm using a betamax clone Jumblo. Google Voice is not available in my country yet.
I confirmed my mobile number and set up SIP settings in android.
Therefore your answer is "yes", people see my mobile number during conversations.

That's awesome! Now all i have to do is figure out how to configure my own lol

Well let me give you mine.
I assume you already have a confirmed phone number on your voip provider.
Then on your phone
Phone/Call Settings/[internet call settings] Accounts/Add account
Username: Your confirmed phone number like +901234567890
Password: Your voip password
Server: your voip server like sip.jumblo.com
Set as primary account: enable
[tap on optional settings]
Authentication user name: Your voip account name (not your phone number like above)
That's all :good:

I've done it with my Sipgate account, which gives me free incoming calls, but I have to pay for outgoing calls.
I went to the phone app, menu button, call settings, go down to the bottom of the list where there is the section for "Internet call settings", then Accounts, I then added an account, and filled in the details. The username and password are not the same ones I use to log into the Sipgate website, but in the account details there, it tells me which ones to use.
I could hear the other caller fine, but the problem I had was that it only worked on speakerphone, and the other caller complained that it was very bad echo on the line.

Try using third party sw.
Sipdroid and Bria are good, particularly Bria have best audio.

I've tried it again with the ROM update - stock ROM android version 4.4.2. The sound quality is much better now, however when someone calls me, the phone doesn't ring, it just displays the caller details on the screen, so if I'm not looking at the phone, I won't know they are calling. I tried with an inbound call over the voice network, and that rings just fine, so the problem isn't with volume settings or ringtone, unless there is a different option for internet calls hidden somewhere that I can't find.

Hello Jonathan,
did you ever manage to solve the issue with no ringtone on incoming internet call? I’m having the same issue and I can't find any information anywhere on how to enable the ringing. I'm using a custom ROM Androind Revolution HD 31, which is based on the Stock samsung ROM.
Thanks and cheers.

I have the same issue, when I use the native internet calling of my phone (galaxy note 2 N7100, android 4.4, stock rom (no root)). A while ago I read something that it was a know issue with touch-wiz so I just used Csipsimple waiting till they fixed it. Now that it seems like we won't get lollypop I was wondering if there could at least be a fix for this issue.

SIP calling does not work

SIP calling option does not work on my HTC One M9. Did anyone else see this behavior. I set the SIP calling setting to 'Ask for every call'. SIP aaccount registers fine (for receiving calls).
When I make the call, I select Internet call and then select the SIP account, but then the call still goes out as 'Verizon' ..
What could I be missing here?
phone details
stock/non-rooted
android 5.0.2
baseband - [email protected]
build - 1.33.605.15 CL511781 release-keys
(essentially latest OTA version from vzw)

Don't think I follow you. The number I dial can be dialed via SIP account (or) my VZW number, based on where I am. How do I specify a SIP contact..? It's just a 10 digit phone number, no?

Still have not been able to make the outbound SIP calling work.. The SIP account registers just fine (says 'Receiving Calls'). Perhaps the phone is diverting SIP calls via VoLTE even after selecting the appropriate SIP account to call from. Disabling the advaced calling option is not helping either...
This is very weird. Anyone else successfull in making an outbound call via SIP account (via callcentric/localphone account etc) from M9??

Same phenomenon with my HTC 10. I used SIP calls with htc one X for a long time, switched to HTC 10 with same settings. When I make a call, wierdly it is redirecting to operator.
Could not find anything on HTC website.
Maybe it is related with android versions.
oneX's version as I remember was Kitkat
10's version is Marshmallow

Are you using the native SIP? Have you tried a third party app? I currently use Grandstream Wave with no issues (MM, stock, rooted).
