Thanks for the notice. Been waiting for a version other than iSkoot.
Be carefull. I just installed it and from what I understood you have to pay even when someone calls YOU !
In short, this "Skype Lite" connects to skype servers via your minutes, not voip. Nuff said.
Update:
Truphone has been ported to Android.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.truphone.android
Where's the package to be found? Doesn't seem to actually be on the market despite it showing at cryket. Is this location restricted?
Truphone does NOT work in packet mode. Here is the response I got from Truphone support:
"Unfortunately, Truphone on the Google Android is designed to work only with
Truphone Anywhere. It is not possible to make free calls over WiFi on that
handset. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
If you have any further queries please reply to this email for assistance.

What would be neat is if someone could write an extension of some sort to the dialer that allows calling over SIP. All you would have to do is input your carrier information, set preferences on how you want calls sent/received through the VoIP connection and the phone itself would handle the rest.

Argh crap. Upon further investigation you're correct. Should have done my due diligence =(
I'll move it down to the partial-voip section and continue waiting for a full solution =)
You should also add Voxofon to the partial VOIP list. I tried it and it has to dial a US number before connecting you to your deisred number.

looking 4 a G1 VoIP solution (any experiences?)
Hi there,
greetings to all - 1st post here ;-)
I live in Chile and have an unlimited 3G data chip for which I can also get the most basic 10$ voice plan. We do have really good 3G coverage here!
I do make quite some calls abroad, thus I was looking into VoIP solutions for the G1.
Is anybody using their G1 as VoIP-device? ... what voip clients are you using? IScoot? ... what "carrier" do you use?
thx for sharing your thoughts.

Sip or IAX VOIP Client for Android G1?
Does anyone know of a working SIP or IAX VOIP client that is working on Android G1?
TIA
topkat0
can anyone still see this on the market- i can't see it- please don't tell me they have made it available to US customers only! With my provider i get 4000 free skype minutes as part of my data plan so wanna see if they work thru the G1 (of course they don't support the G1 so who knows.....
Anyone got an apk for skype lite for android?

I searched for "Skype" and "Lite version of Skype beta" came up. Is that what your looking for?
There is also an app called "iSkoot for Skype".
Here is the description.
"iSkoot for Skype delivers the features of Skype to your mobile phone. View your contacts, IM, make & receive Skype calls and place SkypeOut calls to phone numbers worldwide. iSkoot routes calls via the voice channel to offer unsurpassed call quality"
Sorry.... I don't subscribe to Skype so for me... it's not really worth downloading or really looking into but I hope that this points you in the right direction and is some help.
yeah i can see them on cryket but not on my market- did a search and finally found an apk for skype lite- will try it out tomorrow.
I saw the iskoot thread on here saying it wasn't available to those not in USA so maybe skype is the same.... either way, i now have it
Funny thing is i have the app APK Installer but being an adventurous person i had a crack at using the adb to install it- took me a while- for some reason i had to do adb remount and after that it worked perfectly!
Nothing available yet, just some "lite" versions that use your minutes.
Voxofon Call Router, is that also partial voip or is it the full thing ?

i was just wondering if anyone was intrested in (VoiP) free calls over you internet connection apparently you can use it on a any operating system i think it works like msn messenger
hell yeah!
oh yeah. u wish. that'd be amazing. since i'm on a wireless network most of the day, and if im not at home, im at school, if not at school, then a shopping centre with wifi runnin 24/7 on my Xda2i that'd come in really really handy so is there smth like that and how soon can an appropriate link be available? i'm in for the treat;-) and with great gratitude as well.
gimme a holler, i'll b lookin in2 this post all the time now that i read it ciao mates!
try this link http://www.skype.com/products/skype/pocketpc/ i was looking at there website earlier it's free to download and use as long as the people you want to talk to have the software on there computer etc.. then you can talk to them
yeah. skype is known to PDA's for a while now. but i was thinking that perhaps u hv smth else in mind cuz skype works but has smtimes issues, lags on pda's, smtimes hangs, etc etc. so i was just thinkin u hv smth else perhaps but thinkin bout it makes me wanna try skype all over again
hehe
i must be behind the times i am new with pda's but have good knoledge of pc so i thought this was good but just so you know there is a new version of skype
oh ok cool ui'll b sure to check that out then thx mate for informin me then
You can use also sjphone.
link to sj phone perhaps or smth? were's taht available?
demiseh here is the link for sjphone you asked for http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-SJphone
Skype is the anwser
Wanna use voip. Skype has the free answer as long as you stay on the net. Of the net is at local charges. Check it out at WWW.Skype.com
Enjoy
Skype is a closed product and you are stuck with their pricing for out-of-net calls. Use a softphone based on SIP or, better yet IAX as that will give you no headache when using public hotspots.
If you'd like to try the demo of a new VoIP product for PPC (which will come out soon) send me a private mail. Please also give details which model PPC you are using and an email address to send things to.

Hi all,
due to the fact my provider has now started charging me for accessing voicemails and will not include voicemail access in my inclusive minutes I have turned off the voicemail answerphone on my t-Mobile MDA Vario III (Kaiser), what i'm looking for is a programto run on the PDA that will answer a call after say 45 seconds of ringing and act like an answerphone and record any messages direct to the PDA. I have searched for answerphone but without luck and the only program I can find via Google is iSecretary, but that aparantly isn't fully compatable with the Kaiser?. Has anybody got any ideas as to anything else available that will do this job, preferably free but if I have to pay for the ideal solution so be it.
Thanks

I'm afraid there is no solution, because of the limitations of the Kaiser (and many HTC devices) with the incoming sound.... (mic only)
A workaround should be available in iSecretary, recording loudspeaker -> mic, but this application crashed a lot on my Kaiser so removed it...
Also because it is not a nice solution anyway...everybody can 'enjoy' the voice message.

OK, I hurried myself to answer, it was still the leftover text making me think that the answer wasn't helpful, as seeing the thread's subject first made me hope to actually find something helpful (wondering why there isn't such an application anyway). Sorry.

According to iSecretary the TYTNII is only "half supported" but it looks it would do everything you want.
- lifts the handset automatically when the preset time expires;
- plays the file to the caller;
- records your caller's message within the limits of preset time and hangs up;

check your voicemail using a landline...
I guess i'll have to try isecretary and see if it does enough to get me going, unfortunatly checking voicemail via a landline is not an option in my situation.
Thanks for all the replies so far.

just be prepared.... you will be disappointed...
I did try iSecretary and it worked on some of the calls, about 2 out of the 10 I made to my phone. And like "Optimistisch_nl" said: the callers voice is on loudspeaker while leaving the message. Also the message that I recorded to tell people to leave a message doesn't play either for the caller.
Sorry dude, I'm also still looking for something like this and will let you know if I find a solution.
# Zoolooc # Apology accepted and I also apologize for my remark.

You won't find a solution unless you buy e.g. a Nokia.....
Guys, ALWAYS check out the Wiki first. I've answered this very question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...nswering machine for Windows Mobile released!
(also see the group http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Audio and call recording, answering machines )
In a word: no, don't expect much - WinMo is, by default, pretty much useless when it comes to local (!!) nswering machines. Should you really need them, go for Symbian.

I was also told that file sharing on WM is not possible by "CLEVER" people, but hypest told me that by setting up a ftp server on the ppc you could share folders that would be visible and able to be browsed by another ppc. Now if that is not "file sharing" then lets call it "sharing files". It works just the same as normal file sharing on Windows.

Where there is a will there is a way.

You should have asked me I've even reviewed & thoroughly compared FTP clients (along with mentioning FTP servers) for Windows Mobile - search for example for 'vxFtp' in the Wiki.
I want to know of a call restriction software available for kaiser. it should have the following feature
Restricting Incoming Calls and Outgoing Calls from numbers outside the phonebook
Restricting Incoming and outgoing calls to a particular number.
Please if anybody has some info please tell me.
Thanks in advance.
ummm there are plenty available. Use this free one.
Also check these Magicall and PhoneGate paid ones but work real good...
try using Fixed calling feature which is inbuilt.
I tried a load of these for my tytn2 and the only one that actually did what i wanted was magicall so i highly recommend that it has all the features you need amd works well.
Thanks a lot everybody for your prompt replies and suggestion. I think i will first try the free version and if it does not have enough options then I will go ahead and buy MagiCall.

Is their any possiblity to get voip programs working on diamond?
I have no use for voip, so I haven't tried it, but take a look at "Fring."
http://www.fring.com/download/
Beyond fring’s social appeal, it also saves money letting you make affordable local and international calls to landline and regular cellular numbers using your SkypeOut/SkypeIn account or almost any internet voice service (SIP) such as SIPNET, EuteliaVoIP, VoIPVoIP and VoIPTalk, even from non-SIP enabled handsets.

I'm using skype, dutty uploaded a working version somewhere on this forum.
Sry i cannot give you the direct link
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=343121&pid=1655211&st=0&#entry1655211
basically
Please put a setting in the current version, or make a new version that is wifi only.
Currently using skype in my G1 i use my t-mobile minutes, and what ever skype credit is needed to make the call.
Given this situation.. why would i ever use skype on my android based phone?

please keep bumping it on the skype side, i would love this to happen.
Use sipdroid.
If you really want to use skype, try http://www.skype.com/business/form/sip-beta/ -- though I can't imagine a reason why you would want to use skype instead of a proper sip provider.
Well i am a long time skype user, have a skype acc, have a positive balance, i have all my contacts there...
And to be honest, i have never heard of sip for voip before.
I will download it and try it out of course.
