Hello all!

I use a slightly different method (that's still free . . . in the US anyway, but should be free to recieve calls and cheap to send calls elsewhere) involving CSipSimple + Pbxes (probably not actually necessary) + CallCentric number (free incoming, cheap outgoing . . . so long as you use it at least once a month) + Google Voice. I give detials in the 'apps' section of the forum on the 'Google Voice' thread, if you're interested. I like CSipSimple because its a LOT easier to set-up and use than Pbxes and SipDroid are. . . and it seems to work just fine.

For those not in the US, Google Voice is what enables the free outgoing calls, as it uses a 'call back' system for connecting your edge and whomever it is you are calling (so you both get 'incoming' calls). You don't need it for the free incoming calls, and can skip it if you're willing to pay your number provider to make outgoing calls (if I remember right, CallCentric charges something like US$0.01-0.10/min depending on the location of the phone you are calling).
