Don't think so. As an alternative, (if it's to get free phone calls) you can try setting your phone up for sip. I use Gizmo5, Sipdroid, GVCallBack, and Google Voice and it works great for free phone calls (incoming and outgoing, no need to pay skype out) over 3g or wifi.
When Google bought Gizmo5, they also closed it to new members, but you might be able to try something similar with Sipgate (http://www.sipgate.com/one)
If it's to actually communicate with other skype users, i'm not sure.

Nimbuzz for skype to skype.
Lifehacker has a guide up for free calls using google voice. Google it. Im lazy.

[Q] Google Voice?

I can't find Google Voice...I find that odd. Am I misiing something?

Nah man I can't find it either I think hopefully theyll try to make an optimized version, regardless, I'm a little upset

If you try to install it via market.android.com, it says it's an invalid device.

not compatible yet. Should have an update soon. I have found other apps like logmin ignition don't work either. Sure updates will roll out soon

anyone have an idea on timing for google voice? really would love to be able to make a voice call and get sms.
google translate isn't compatible either...not sure why. seems like it should be able to run the phone version just fine.

I suspect that voice calls will not work even when/if we get google voice app in here. Unless google decides to push gtalk direct dialing like on the browser gmail.

I don't think they'll let you make calls from the xoom or any tablet, I think the most they'll do is to let us send text messages over the xoom, just because this is a tablet not a phone, but then you never know...

you already can with skype

Something I thought about was just using the browser to access the google voice webpage, which you can use to text message as well. It does work better when you change the browser userstring to desktop instead of android.

i tried a little while ago to run the latest version and got fc right off the bat. It may be as simple as a slight APK mod. Ill try a few things and report back.

Did you get it working

By using Fring VoIP, SIPGate, and Google Voice I can make VoIP calls with my Xoom. Once you set up Fring with SIPGate, add your SIPGate number to GV. Go to the GV website on your Xoom, lookup a contact can call. It will forward the call to your SIPGate number and ring on the Xoom through Fring. Works great.
Still waiting for an official GV app though.

I've been in touch with team at Google. At first, I was given the following response:
Thanks for your note. At this time, Google Voice is not compatible with the Motorola Xoom, because the Xoom doesn't have the required telephone features.

After replying that I didn't exactly need the telephone features, but rather the SMS and voicemail checking features, I got this back:
At this time, it's not possible to use the Google Voice app on the Xoom, but I will definitely share your feedback with the Google Voice team.

Hope this helps to resolve some of the confusion!

doesn't csipsimple use honeycombs native phone capabilities? If so why can't GV?
Lacking that what about after the 4g upgrade? Will it not have a radio then technically?

I believe the reason there isn't telephone capabilities is that Google isn't interested in creating a full-fledged VoIP solution just yet. You can see they're testing the waters with the VoIP calling in Gmail, but if they were truly dedicated to the concept, they would have added VoIP capabilities to the standard Android app or released SIP information. After all, Gingerbread and the Nexus S have the capabilities to run something like that.

This is a deal breaker for me on the xoom/Honeycomb. iPad has official GVoice app that does sms, missed calls, & voicemail and it has the talkatone app that does GVoice voip calls. You can put away your phone while using your tablet and not miss anything.
If your GV number is set to ring gmail/gtalk will a the gtalk app ring on a xoom?

Instead of Fring I am now using SIPDroid and it works great. Even tethering from my Incredible.

It looks like I'm going to have to put off the Xoom until more features are enabled.

I'm sure google has some clueless employees too, and given that they developed a GV app for the iPad, which also lacks telephone functionality, I'm betting that that's all this is....one of Google's few clueless.

gingerbread 2.3.x on tab and the native SIP client (VoIP)

Has anyone been successful in setting up the native SIP client on a tab running gingerbread??
I am looking for someones experiences with this native VoIP client and also can you tell me what SIP Service Provider you used?
This link describes how to configure the Android native SIP client on gingerbread devices. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to explore these settings and post your results.
http://www.voipvoip.com/android/sip.html
UPDATE: I just learned that the 'settings' menu for internet calls does not appear by default in gingerbread. Its been disabled on our SGTs. To enable you must copy a file to system/etc/permissions. Can someone here shed some light on this? Is this only true for the stock Gingerbread thru Kies download? thanks.

I use Overcome ROM RC1 with enabled VoIP in Settings->Internet calls.
My provider is iptel.org.
I have an issue with incoming calls over SIP. I can't answer. I think the problem is in original dialer by samsung.

I'm using the Overcome ROM RC2 where the SIP option is enabled.
It works well, although the lack of keypad during a call makes it hard when you run into an automated phone service and you can't enter any dtmf tones. I would guess this is related to the problem cromed has when trying to answer a call. (I haven't received a call so can't answer first hand)
My only other grumble would be the low call volume, but this is also the case when using fring or sipdroid.
Audio quality though, is great.

Hmm. Has anyone tried one of the SIP clients on the market on their tab? Such as 'sipdroid' or CsipSimple ? Can you post your experiences here please? thanks

I have used both Sipdroid and CsipSimple. Sipdroid is pretty basic but works as described. CsipSimple ate up my battery, and Sipdroid did until I switched to a PBXES account (uses TCP instead of UDP). PBXES is a pain to setup, but once you finally figure out how it works its fine. Used it to take my DX overseas a couple times with WiFi only (used a MiFi through XCOM Global), and have perfect voice. Need to use the Speex codec for 3G connections or else you get jitter or big delays; I use it for all connections though.
Just got the GB update on the DX and sad to see no native SIP client.
I now have a Polycom connected to PBXES for my home phone. Both are trunked through Sipgate.

Well, I just upgrade SGT-P1000N to stock Gingerbread 2.3.3, and VoIP does not come enabled. Found the permission file at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016583
UPDATE: Yep, it works. Just tested it. Works with Bluetooth headphones, yay!

It may prove my naivete to even suggest this, but I have wondered if it might be possible to sign in to a Skype account with this native dialer. Fields are limited to username, password and server. So it's that server address that eludes me.

Nope, Skype uses proprietary protocol, not SIP.

I'm having the same issues as mentioned above on Overcome Gold. No way to pick up an incoming call. Outgoing call is fine but no keypad if needed.
Quality is very good.
Have tried Sipdroid, Csimple,...and other...but my prefered has been Linphone. Excellent quality.
But now I'm using GrooveIp. Work well with Google voice and allows you to make free phone call coming and outgoing.
It's a paid app..but cost $2.00 on Amazon...$4 on Google Market. YOu may have to adjust some settings to fine tune it...I had to do that.

Gingerbread native SIP over 3g

I'd like to use the gingerbread native SIP client over 3g. Anyone know of a hack?
Thunderbolt GB

I'm currently using Csipsimple, Sipgate, Gv Callback and Google Voice. It's a real good setup, but I'd like to try the native Google SIP.

Hold on. I set up my sipgate account on the internet calling section. So what you are saying is that won't work over lte or CDMA and would need WiFi?

I can't make or recieve a 3g call on the Gingerbread SIP client.
Can u?

Theres a thread in the modaco android forums about this that seems to have solved the issue, but it needs to be baked into a ROM..
(sorry I'd post the link but this is my first post and I am not allowed... im sure someone'll find it.)

I'm using the LeeDroid_HD_V3.3.3_GB-R5 rom on my Desire, running Gingerbread 2.3.3. I've set up the native sip to my voip provider account (where I have credit to make calls to pstn/gsm).
With this setup, I can make & receive calls from both Wifi and 3G.
I don't know if switching from Wifi to 3G while on a call would work flawlessly though.

I made a small manual on how to accomplish this on probably all GB roms including sense and miui:

[App Idea]Google Voice users - would like input

Hey guys,
I'm just posing my idea for an app that I've been working on and just want input to see if any of you would consider this useful or not.
Google Voice for Windows Phone doesn't exist yet...there are 2 apps out there that give a "native" feel...one requires to save your GV login info () and the other sets up email forwarding through some service for notifications...that only works half the time.
I've been working on an app that is currently just a web-window to Google Voice...but in order for notifications to work, you would download a Java application to run on your home computer (or wherever) that has your GV info and is constantly checking for new messages. The kicker to this is that this client app would have to be running all the time for you to receive new messages...make sense?
Is this a dumb idea? Would any of you actually use this? The reason I'm going this route is because your GV login info would stay on YOUR computer...not someone else's.
Granted...I could make it completely native...but then I would have to store your login info on my server...which I'm trying to avoid.
Thank you all in advance for your opinions.

As is GoVoice, Free Talk, and a number of others... all of which are pretty decent clients. I could see a need for a native client though, one that can intercept outgoing calls, use the native SMS built-in app, just cuz it would make it easier to use, but any of those clients work well.
