Google Voice Calling
Has anyone been able to get Google Voice to work for calling out and not just for checking voicemails?

It works fine for me as well, although I'm using it with SipDroid and my Gizmo #

I still have to take the phone since I use google voice to place the call. I have not experimented with using the PE as the phone.

I saw a Google Voice apk at this site, but someone more qualified than I should check it out: http://www.filecrop.com/google-apk.html
I'm curious, since Android is connected to Google, to what extent all the stuff in Google Labs will work with the Entourage eDGe. |

Google Voice (GV) works for both sending and recieving calls on my PE. I'm late to the whole VoIP party, so I don't have gizmo5 numbers, etc. Here's what I did:
- Sign up at IPComms (or some other free incoming phone number provider. Remember: internet search engines are your friends). It doesn't automatically assign you a number. After signing up, you'll need to either e-mail or on-line chat with their customer support. The in-bound call line is free, and for this purpose this is all you'll need (I have a callcentric.com number too, but after trying several, couldn't get GV to accept them as they were "already in use" by 3 other accounts). One caveat: your free number will go away if it doesn't get dialed at least once a month. -Sign up for GV and get a GV number. -Set up GV to forward calls to IPComms number. -Sign up for Pbxes.com. I'm not 100% sure if this is necessary or not, but I did it when I was trying to figure all this stuff out. I set up trunks for IPComms and for GV. Made a call group that included IPComms numbers and GV. Also incoming and outgoing lines for both. -Find and download CSipSimple (I think I got mine from Slideme). It's free. Install and add Pbxes and GV accounts using the wizard. If I recall correctly, when it asked during install, I told it to integrate with the Android dialer. - - Don't forget to pick a ringtone. -Incoming calls now ring in just like my PE were a phone if people dial either my GV number or my IPComms number (or they did before ermine killed my speaker - now I have to be paying attention to get calls). -To make outgoing calls, open browser in mobile mode, and go to GV. There's a box at the bottom to type in numbers. Type in the number you wish to dial, and then press the "call now" button. In moment your 'phone' should ring. Answer it. GV will then ring the number you dialed. -As I said, you may be able to do this without pbxes. I found pbxes a right pain in the patoot to set up, so you may want to try it without, if you've never messed with it before. Good luck. |

The above if fine IF Google Voice is available in your country. The last time I looked it was ONLY available in the US!

@ ivan: true enough re: GV's availability solely in the US. However, You can use IPComms numbers directly in conjunction with CSipSimple (that is, get an IPComms number, and link it to your edge via CSipSimple, and _possibly_ pbxes). This would get you free incoming calls. To make out-going calls with this setup, however, you'll need to pay IPComms. I think they charge between US$0.01 and US$0.10 per minute, depending on location. There are other, similar, VoIP providers (like CallCentric, IPKall, and a variety of others operating out of Europe, Australia, and at least one or two South American countries).

Thanks attemptress, this is something I will have to investigate as our network is sip enabled - we can make and receive calls from any machine on the net, it even works using a notebook out on site.
Now I must get a copy of CSipSimple and see about setting it up to work the same way. |
