SipDroid

**sr98user** · 06-19-2010 11:37 AM

I tried briefly few weeks back and noticed that SipDroid created multiple registrations in the Devices page. About 4 of them. Also, it has the default registration interval of 1 hour. So, these registration don't go away quickly.. So, I uninstalled it and didn't want to cause issues with my home phone service.

I didn't even try to make calls with SipDroid. So, not sure how the quality is.

Hey, guys - I have since found a setup that works well with SipDroid - it involves setting up a free account at pbxes.org, then setting up a trunk to my VOIPo account. After researching SipDroid on the internet, it seems that it works best with pbxes. If you're interested in giving it a try, let me know, and I'll do a write-up on how to set it up! I can have both my ATA and SipDroid connected at the same time with no problems, and the call quality is great.

BTW, the android device I'm using isn't a phone - it's an Archos 5 Internet Tablet. It's cool to be able to make calls in a McD's wifi hotspot!

Brody, I tried Sipdroid with less than good success,,,if you could explain your pbx.org setup it would be much appreciated.

Hi, lhortt! Sorry it's taken so long for me to reply - I've been out of town. Check out this app, available for free in the Google Marketplace: 3CXPhone. It seems to play nice with VOIPo, and the calls are of good quality.

The problem, I've discovered, with SipDroid, is that it doesn't have the G.711 codec available, which VOIPo uses. Proxying through pbxes seems to solve that problem, but the 3CX has G.711 support, so it's a moot point. I really like the 3CX over SipDroid anyway - it seems to be a really well written app. They also make a windows version which works well with VOIPo too. Let me know how it works for ya!

Brody, I installed 3CX, setup my profile as follows:
User: my VOIPo #
Password: my VOIPo provided softphone pw
Internal Server: sip.voipwelcome.com
left all other setting at their default settings but doesn't want to register...getting "Not registered"
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated!
THANKS

Move the sip.voipwelcome.com to external server, and give it another go...

Thanks for posting that! I loaded it yesterday and it works great. I tried it with voip.ms, but not with VOIPo yet.
