VoIP, Kaiser and Soft Vonage

Has anyone been able to configure asoft Vonage account on the Kaiser?
Any Soft Phone that may work?
XTEN used to have a Pocket PC version that worked with Vonage in the 2003 days.
I downloaded the VoIP software but on the SIP Configuration Utility it asks for the SIP server and port - Any idea what the settings would be for Vonage.
(I tried searching - but could not find anything in this forum)
Thanks

Bump..
No one has been able to set Vonage on the Kaiser?

I have not tried it yet but remember using Vonage on my old Sammy i730 way back in 2003. I will play around with it today and post back. In the mean time if anyone else is interested here is a primer:

Instant Messaging, is OctroTalk the best?

Looking to use AOL IM primarily.. is octrotalk my best choice for Wm6?

I liked Palringo more.
OctroTalk made you register your yahoo as a jabber account or something, so after I did that some mysterious service kept logging into my account even if I wasn't there. So I went and changed the Yahoo IM password, and stopped using OctroTalk.

thanks i will use palringo

anyone have any other suggestions??

IM+ is nice, but its not free.

IMO, IM+ is the best out there, but yes, it's quite expensive for a WM app...

IMO, IM+ is the best out there, but yes, it's quite expensive for a WM app...I like Agile Messenger also. Its not free either, but cheaper, I think. And it has a nice long trial to decide first.

I just installed IM+ and am very impressed with it. Worth the money.

Can we do Voice chat in palringo with online yahoo/gmail contacts

I'm new to IM on WM devices (not new to WM or IM though, just the combination), and wanted to know if any of these allow you to stay logged in and appear available with the phone in standby mode, and then will notify you when a message arrives.
Thanks.

You can send Voice IM with Palringo to any of your contacts. they will receive an IM that has a link to the Palringo site to click on to get your voice message. While it can be a pain (for the person not running Palringo) I've had chats with a contact running Palringo where they are Voice IM'ing me, and I'm typing text back to them.
If you are asking if you can do 2 way voice chat (sort of like skype) then no, Palringo is an IM style Voice. But whats nice about this is the receiver can listen to your message when its convenient for them (like with IM, you read it when its convenient) then respond via voice or text.

I used OctroTalk on my Dash when I only used WiFi. It doesn't seem to work over AT&T's MEdia Net because of the proxy.

Frankly, guys, I don't understand why you don't read the Wiki before asking. There is a FULL review of Palringo in there ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tiplatform instant messenger client: Palringo ), where I've answered ALL questions like these.
It can't chat over VoIP but supports single-directional voice clips. Nothing else. If you need VoIP / real chat, get Fring, it supports full VoIP with Skype, MSN , Google Talk and standard SIP. Note that OctroTalk also supports Google Talk. The latter no longer supports Yahoo Messenger – earlier betas didn’t gray out “Call” with YM clients.

All of them do. Read the IM Bible - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The Windows Mobile Instant Messaging Bible

Thanks Buddy.
Your review links have answered my all the questions. Hats off to you...
Just One last silly question:--
As you mentioned while installing Fring.. "Make sure you let it also run the CAB file so that it is installed".
My question is that will we be having an option to choose the path while installing cab. So that i can install it on my storage card instead on phone memory.
Actually it's a generic question and due to performance i want to install all my cab files in my storage card....
Thanks for your help.....

Yup, you will: WM5+ asks the destination when you directly click a CAB file.
However, Fring is auto-starting and the memory card MAY not be available during booting, which MAY result in a boot-time error message. Therefore, if you encounter these problems after resets, make sure you (re)install it to the built-in storage instead.

Under WM5+, on models not suffering from compaction problems (and the Kaiser is one of them), it's no longer necessary to keep the built-in storage clean and install / copy as much stuff to the card as possible.

www.fring.com is also a great IM/voice-enabled client.
(And free !!)

I'm using the last freeware version of Agile. Still works fine. Recurring charges are ridiculous for an IM client, especially when you can get great open-source apps like Adium for absolutely no charge. It's legit, since nobody can force you to upgrade your install of their app.
I tried IM+. It was OK but not that great. Mundu refused to let me run their current version despite selling me a "lifetime" license for their PalmOS version a year or two ago, so I not only refuse to pay their extortion fee but recommend against using their software. Their "lifetime" license ... isn't.

Talkonaut to configure VoIP, SIP

I have seen many people wondering how to configure their VoIP account on Windows mobile phone. I have seen some scripts to do help, however, I found a good application where you can easily configure your VoIP account. You can download the cab from here
http://www.talkonaut.com/download.shtml
If you find any problem configuring, please post here.
You can also add your friend yahoo, hotmail messenger ID and can do voice chat from your phone!!! I've tested it and the sound quality was not bad. For VoIP, I tested on VoIP Stunt.

Web-based VGA msn/gmail clients ?

Hi there,
I've tried for the last few days to have working MSN (Windows live Messenger) and Gmail clients on my Diamond.
After investigations, the problem I have with this is due to the fact that my provider (France - SFR) does not allow msn protocol, as well as pop/imap. As a matter of fact, only HTTP and HTTPS are allowed.
The only way to get these working is to use web-based (HTTP 80) clients.
I've tried ebuddy and some others for msn, as well as the official gmail java client. Both are working, but fonts are very small, since both are designed for QVGA screens.
So here is my question: do you know msn/gmail WEB-based clients with VGA interface for WM ?
Thanks a lot !

For GMail you can just point your browser to http://m.google.com/mail.
I would seriously consider switching to another provider though... Only http? They are living on which planet?

hello
for gmail, opera 9.5 on the diamond is working perfectly, you don't even need to use the mobile version ... (igoogle is also working great by the way)
you can also use the mail2web solution.
I'm in france and with sfr too, I'm transferring all my emai from gmail to my mail2web account, then I use activesync to synchronise with the exchange server of mail2web (which is http...)
I then have all my gmail in outlook (in the touchflo3D interface) it's working great (can even work as push if you setup activesync in always connected... but the battery won't last long)
for msn, web messenger should work great... or we just wait that sfr release the sfr messenger for the diamond...

Yawn... search, search, search... I've explained the solution to this problem at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2426977&postcount=24 :
in a nutshell: double the values of HKCU\Software\JBlend\AMS_Font_Size, VM_Font_Size0, VM_Font_Size1, and VM_Font_Size2

Thanks.
@ Menneisyy: I searched a lot before posting, and my question was not about java-based apps only.
@ Andrax: Thanks for the tip, it's quite cool with mail2web. You can't answer with your genuine mail address, though... Don't understand why SFR blocks imap and pop. I tried messenger by sfr (qvga java version): does not seem to work with JBlend, did you try it?

the java machine installed on the diamond is not jblend... so what menneisvy is saying is not working as such...
maybe in his original post he explain which jblend java machine to install ...
let's search search search

You can go in the parameters of the gmail client to use a bigger font. It's still not that big, but it helps.
But since it is not designed for VGA and touchscreen, it is not that better than the classic online gmail app (what really bugs me is the first warning about the VM thinking the gmail app is not secure, and still the VM to request confirmation to use data connection, and no way (as far as I know) to tell it it's good once for all).

LOL - wouldn't know, I've been on Orange for a lifetime...

hello hantoucc
The gmail java app uses HTTP and HTTPS connectors. So it should work perfectly with SFR restriction.
Cheers

"palringo" maybe for msn messenger?

Palringo works indeed quite fine...

I want to instal yahoo messenger on my O2 XDA IIs / XDA III (HTC Blue Angel) Specs

I have tried downloading yahoo messenger and it said the phone does not support the application. But I use yahoo messenger more than the MSN that the phone came with.
I cant aldo use youtube on my phone
Finally, I need a navigator/GPS to help me locate where I am going to. This phone is new to me and I will appreciate if anyone can help.
Iyke

For youtube use youtubeplay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
or use the official application.
For GPS I would recommend getting a bluetooth GPS receiver and getting the maps for your area.
For yahoo I cannot help.

Thank you so much Cmstackar...But I am still sorry if I sound dumb about these things, but I dont know what a Blutetooth GPS receiver is or whether I need to buy r download one.
I would be glad if u could help me with this final query and hopefully another person would direct me on yahoo messenger

Bluetooth GPS connects through you're phone wirelessly. You could also download and use Google maps if you have a data plan, but you would not be able to tell where you are. Here is an example of a Bluetooth GPS:

Also a HOLOX BT-321 will work well.
