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...

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.

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.
I have a problem with the WINCE client from voipbuster.com
The audio comes out of the speaker on the backside instead of the internal speaker.
Anyone else has this issue or suggestions on how to fix this ?
Or any suggestion for other apps which you use in combination with voipbuster server ?
Thanks,
Mace
I spent hours to find out, how voip could work. I tried a lot of programs. The only one that works on my Kaiser is: AGEphone Mobile 2. It costs some $$ but it works.

Stephan
Have you tried SJphone? It works and it is free from http://www.sjlabs.com/
with Sjphone the sound comes to the inside speaker or back speaker? the same question for agephone plse... ;P
Just out of curiosity, why are you using the voip buster client?
I got voip buster to work with WM6's builtin client.
For server use sip.voipbuster.com and for the username use [email protected]
I haven't been able to get that to work on WM6.1 yet.

Have you tried fring? It is free and awesome. You can have your voip and other services such as AIM, YAHOO, Google, and other stuff setup in one program. It works great.
AGEphone Mobile 2.5 Speakerphone Edition supports the internal speaker on a row of HTC devices (more to come)!
SIP client
found a flash sip client, no need to install anything works om mobile devices and on desktops...(needs flash installed)
www.flashphone.ru
you need to registrer, than you can configure in the management tool a lot of SIP providers also VOIP buster..
the thing here i what works with the insider speaker? i know that fring, wm6 built in doent work... for what i heard only that agephone works the others work fine but only with headphones so i guess i ll try that agephone ;P
i tried to use chit chat the application was good and the voice was clear. but i found that its pre configured with a specific service called "weepee", i went to their website its in non english language. aslo i found a directory called chit chat in my sdcard contains a file called "profile" i edited this file to my asterisk server username and password using sip protocol it didnt work then i tried AIX protocol it works. so guys you can use AIX through this program just go and edit /sdcard/chit chat/profile put the server, username and password and here we go.
i really need voip, thanks for info
can you tell more about your discovery? (for noobs) i couldnt find any application called chit chat
i currently use google voice for int'l calls, any way to call for even cheaper?
Best VoIP client for Android is a little app called sipdroid. Get it from the dev's website as the one in the market does not allow calls in 3G or edge. It was one of the first apps i got and i've never paid for a call again. You have to create an account with Pbxes and configure there (read their tutorial) but once is set up is the most incredible app ever! like i said, haven't paid for a call in months!
hey, thanks for an answer
afaik sipdroid and pbxes isnt enough to place an int'l PSTN call, you have to have a sip provider e.g. Gizmo5, but gizmo's rates are higher than on GV, so not interesting
any other reliable sip provider? i tried voipuser but they want a non-free email address - what is that i have no idea. im not giving them my work email
I use Guava, pretty cool with googlevoice and a gizmo accounts work good. Sometimes there is a problem but most of the time it works.
Guava isnt on the market but can be downloaded at http://gizmo5.com/guava and trandferred to the sdcard.
@hihik as StreetGuru said Sipdroid is optimized to work with pcxes as I imagine same people took the lead in writing sipdroid.
Dont worry about giving them your email as they dont or very rarely send anything out. Why work email? How about your ISP email?
Anyway has anybody tried Crolix Communicator from market. It supposed to work with GTalk for voip calling gmail contacts.
I am waiting for Nimbuzz to inpliment voip but I assume they are having difficuly in codecs department.
Well, Google hasnt given us voice call feature in Google Talk application, I wonder why!
I have never understood why people have such a hard time coming up with email addresses. Get a dyndns address, register it to your public IP address, and put an email server on your home computer. Done. Unlimited email addresses with unlimited (aside from your hard disk space) storage.
Here is the configuration with sipdroid www.ippi.fr for opening an account (free with geographic number in 01.02.03.04 ou05 depending on where you live) test on android magic 32b and it works as well as in 3G wireless, to test my SIP number is 05 81 31 42 75, and my laptop that sounds (ca surprises people! ") think of you for sponsoring the opening of the account by putting in the box Rouhaud parrainnage. thank you in advance Here are the parameters to put in sipdroid Download link: http://sipdroid.org/ Go to the Android Market and are looking Sipdroid. Install accepting the warning. Sipdroid Start / Menu / Settings SIP Account Settings: Username: Password IPPI username: password IPPI Server: ippi.fr Port: 5060 Options: Use WLAN: Use 3G/EDGE check: check if your operator authorizes and s 'report thereon Preferred Call Type: SIP when available Advanced Options: - PBXes Features: - A green icon in the top bar will inform you that Sipdroid is connected to the network IPPI.
Sipdroid not working for Pennytel
I follow similarly for pennytel account (sip.pennytel.com)
I got the green icon but when I tried to call to the pennytel account, it says the user is not available.
It is a working account when used with Nokia E71 SIP setting.
Not sure what breaks.

@priyana,
Sipdroid is developped by PBXES.org and is fully optimized to work with pbxes. So creat a free account there and configure pennytel account within pbxes. You can have upto five sip registration with a free account.
There might be a beta of Fring for Android in a few weeks! Check out post #77 here:

I have exactly the same problem as yours. PennyTel works on my wife's E71, but not on my HTC Magic.
I would really appreciate any helps.

For step by step using pbxes.org, maybe you can follow this page:
http://seethisnowreadthis.com/2009/...-with-any-sip-provider-on-your-android-phone/
I think it should work with pennytel, but I have not tried.
Not too comfy putting my user credentials in pbxes.org.
What do you guys think? Is it really 100% safe?
100% safe? I should think so. But this question is not appropriate here as there may be just a handful sip users here. You should visit forums of voxalot , sipuser etc where you will meet nearly 100% sip/voip users.
PBXes is good and running like any other business?
If you are a free user than questions like are they trustworty or not seem hyprocritical. Buy their paid service ans see how good they are when it comes to receiving help and support.
Finally I figured it out how to call out through PBXes from my HTC Magic.
Thank you.

Ive noticed that they have released a skype app for some phones such as the new desire, but not for the nexus one. If anyone has the apk for the new version of skype (not the beta that was around a year ago) could they please upload it to the board or email it to me? thank you very much if you can help.

yeah, fring lets you sign into your skype account.
A few things are wrong with fring and nimbuzz and other clients, mostly because of their nature of being a proxy service rather than a true P2P app.
1. They store your credentials - you need to give fring and nimbuzz your user name and password to many services and trust them not to abuse it. You eventually just log in with their account password - and they connect to all other accounts you have using their stored details.
2. Proxy service - (a) Latency and (b) bad security.
(a) Since you don't directly call the other party you actually send your voice data to the fring servers which then forward it to the other person's skype - so fring in effect act as a middle man. this introduces latencies - as the data takes a longer route to get to the other side.
(b) Also it opens the opportunity for them to eavesdrop the conversation. It works not only for skype but also for all other types of accounts - like gtalk, fb chat, icq, aim - they have all your messages and then forward them.
These 2 reasons are why i can't wait for true p2p apps for all my chatting and voice needs - privacy and performance.

-Its not Skype
-Many people including myself dislike Frings cheesy interface.
But as you righly say, it will do the job until such time as Skype put out a build of their own.
I am using CSipSimple with Android integration turned on for secure calls via Ostel. I have been in contact with the developer and he believed it was an HTC limitation, so I phoned HTC support this morning and they said I need to use a third-party contacts app. Their People app doesn't have a custom field for sip, nor in the IM field.
I wanted to add the sip address of a person who phoned me to their existing contact and the People app crashes. I was able to do it once but it added the address as IM & AIM and of course doesn't work to phone that person.
Can someone recommend a good contacts app that would work well with the ability to integrate with csipsimple and google contacts?
