I configured my Kaiser 110 (ATT 8925) with Schap's 4.3 and its working very well.
Added my account settings for a broadvoice SIP trunk, and it registers sucessfully. When I receive a call, I can choose silence or text message dialog, and if I choose silence, then the dialog shows answer. If I choose answer, it disconnects the session instantly and the calling party gets a fast busy signal.
If I try to place a call, using a 7, 10, or 12 digit US dial string, the call ends instantly (cant place any outbound calls).
Any suggestions? I'm using WiFi, with a routeable address and no firewalls. I am about 150 miles off of the nearest cellular network, and VOIP will be the killer app to use on this device.
R1.27.12.17
G22.45.88.07H
D1.57.00.00
WM5.2.18125.4.2
I have a Broadvoice account. What settings did you use to get the built-in VoIP software to work?
settings, connections, voip.
I used my typical account settings, and the fastest proxy by ping time.
My dial plan tab is blank however.
Hmmm, I do not have that settings applet. added the WM6 VoIP cab and then the config tool. Using the config tool, I was able to enter what I believe are correct settings.
The Today applet shows 'available'
I see now way to make a call.
If you tap the today applet it will change from available to selected. You can then make calls via VOIP.
Later, Lew
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Did you guys have success with this? I'm running L26_WM_6.1_PRO.V6a which has VoIP built in and uses Schap's Setup VoIP 0.3. When I dial out the phone immediately hangs up. Incoming calls go to voice mail if they are ignored. The caller gets a number not in service message if I try to answer and the phone stays connected for about a second before hanging up.
My settings are
Provider Name: sip.broadvoice.com
Registrar Address: sip.broadvoice.com Port: 5060 UDP
Proxy Address: proxy-nyc.broadvoice.com Port 5060 UDP
URI Address: sip[email protected]
I've also tweaked the registry to allow Port 5060.
HKLM\System\VoIP\SIP
EnablePort5060 = 1
It appears to be partially working though, there was mention in another thread about BroadVoice using the realm BroadWorks as mentioned at the bottom of the page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950&page=77 I'm not sure if that is the issue or not since it is an older thread.
Has anyone else managed to get Broadvoice working and if so what CAB files and settings were you using?
Unfortunately, I have never had any success although others have reported having success. It would be nice if someone who has it working would be able to share the settings or even better, have a cab made with the settings within.
Thanks for the reply Jonno. I can get outbound calling to work using the application at Fring.com. You might want to give it a try. Unfortunately it doesn't have a feature for incoming calls.
I could use things like Fring and other applications... but it feels just wrong to be forced to use an application to perform a function that is essentially built into the OS. Having the dialer integrated would be just so much better.
I'm seriously thinking of getting the TD2, but need some advise first. Can anyone recommend an IM client that I can use on the TD2 with Google Talk. I've had a search around the forums, but can't find any recommendations (in relation to the TD2).
If your using IM on the TD2, how does it alert you to new messages? Also, is there a status light on the TD2?
Thanks in advance to any help you can give me.
you can change the setting for receiving messages from vibrate to sound notification, and there is a led next to the top speaker which also alerts for messages

Try FRING, you'll like it. GoogleTalk, Skype, ICQ and so on -- all in one application
Fring seems to get stuck at "Logging in...", it's been going for about 8 minutes!
also try Nimbuzz. It supports Google Talk. I find it better than Fring because Fring used to hide the compose window with the soft keyboard on my Diamond 1 - so I couldn't check what I was writing. Nimbuzz works well, but doesn't have the SIP client that Fring has
Managed to get Fring working last night, over Wi-Fi. Still doesn't like running over T-Mobile though, I'm guessing T-Mobile must be blocking access because it supports VOIP. I seem to recall Fring has a Proxy server that you can use to get around this restriction, but when I go into Fring's SETTINGS menu, there's just a blank screen. I suppose this is a compatibility issue with the TD2 - the text is awfully big so maybe all the ticky boxes are off-screen? Had a poke in the registry and found some Fring registry keys, but not one to turn the proxy on and off.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix the Settings screen to work properly, or what to change in the registry, or even if using the Fring proxy will work at all?
Many thanks for any pointers :O)
It's not going to be very useful over Wi-Fi only - I primarily want it for the Facebook Chat and need to be able to use it while out and about.

Sipdroid is a bare-bones SIP client for Android. It does not provide a rich user experience like one would expect from Skype, as it is just client software, not a service. You need a SIP provider in order to use Sipdroid. I'll explain with some pictures how to setup and use Sipdroid. This primer was originally written for 0.9.4. Minor updates bring it in line with the current version, 1.0.4.
Preparation
First, you need to sign up with a SIP provider. Most SIP providers offer free accounts and free SIP calling. In addition to free VOIP-to-VOIP calls, you can also call people with traditional, or PSTN (public switched telephone network), phone numbers. This is usually referred to as PSTN outbound or call out and is charged on a per-minute basis. More on this later. There are many SIP providers on the internet, more than I can list here. I will name a couple to get you started, but there are more options out there. Google it...
Gizmo5/SIPPhone
One of the more polished consumer SIP services. They offer free VOIP calling and a decent outbound PSTN service with average rates. Cost for a call terminating in United States (landline and mobile) is $0.019/min. For inbound, you can lease a number from them, prices vary per area code. Gizmo5 also happens to be the only voip service that Google Voice will forward to at the time of this writing. For the purposes of this primer, I will assume Gizmo5 as the SIP provider.
Voipuser
They style themselves as a SIP service created by community. There seems to be limited free PSTN outbound access for numbers in Europe.
Ekiga
This service is actually the companion service for the VOIP phone application of the same name bundled with GNOME (default Ubuntu desktop). It has no PSTN outbound services, so consider this option if you only want to make calls to other VOIP users.
There are some others like FWD/Pulver and of course there is also the option of using a company SIP.
Now of course you'll also need to download a copy of Sipdroid. There are two places to get it: 1) Android Market. This is the easy way. Just open the Market app, search for Sipdroid and tap Install. 2) Sipdroid.org. Enable off-market app installation in your settings, then visit the sipdroid site and tap the apk link. Alternatively, you can download it on your PC and install with adb. The version from the Android Market is referred to as the "lite" version, whereas the Sipdroid.org version is "full". The main, and only, difference is the full version allows SIP connections over 2G/3G, whereas the lite version only allows SIP over WiFi.
Setup Sipdroid
Okay, now I assume you have your SIP account details and Sipdroid 0.9.4 installed. Open Sipdroid and press the menu button. Now tap Settings. Here, enter the username and password you registered with your SIP provider, as well as the server address. If your SIP provider specified a port other than the default (port 5060) then enter that as well.
Under the Options, check off the air interfaces which you want Sipdroid to connect with. If you downloaded the Market version, you will not be able to choose 2G/3G. Keep in mind that some carriers may forbid VOIP usage in their data plans, if you are using the webpage version. For preferred call type, choose Phone (more on this later).
Now press back to go to Sipdroid's main screen (the dark grey one). At this point hopefully you should have a green dot indicator in your windowshade, indicating that Sipdroid has successfully connected to your SIP provider. If the indicator stays yellow or red, that means Sipdroid was not able to connect properly. Sometimes Sipdroid will lose connectivity to your SIP provider, especially during a transition between 2G and 3G. If this occurs, open the Sipdroid application and go into the settings menu and exit. The connection should automatically reinitialize.
Making a call to a SIP address
A SIP address is somewhat like an email address. Both are types of URIs, or uniform resource identifiers, which in simple terms means they tell you where something is. A SIP address takes the form of sip:[email protected] or simply [email protected].
To make a call to a SIP address, open the Sipdroid application, type it into the field labeled "Called Party Address" and press the return key. For your first test call, call [email protected]. Once the call has connected, you should see the in-call screen and an emerald-colored call indicator in the windowshade. The emerald color differentiates a SIP call from a standard voice call (which uses a green color).
After a brief introductory message, you should be able to hear SIPPhone's echo test, which echoes back whatever you say. This allows you to test that your SIP setup is working and that both parties can communicate properly. Note that if you are connecting over 2G/3G, you may experience a noticeable delay. This is due to the delay introduced by your cellular provider having to route packets from the cell network through to their datacenters and then onto the internet. Calls over WiFi should have significantly reduced delay (assuming the WiFi itself is connected to a good broadband internet connection). Since Android apps are not allowed to control the end call button, press the back button to terminate the call.
Making a call to a SIP number
Here's where it gets confusing (atleast it did for me). Many SIP providers not only issue a SIP address which is based on a user's username, they also issue a SIP number. The reasoning is that in many cases, people will want to make a VOIP call on a device which has no alpha keypad. In this case, the only way to make a call is a number pad. When you call a number using SIP, your SIP provider will do one of several things depending on what the number is. First of all though, we have to make sure that we're actually dialing the number using SIP, rather than using our mobile carrier.
Here, we will dial the number for the echo test we performed in the last step. For Gizmo5 users, the number 17474743246 corresponds to the SIP address [email protected]. Open your Android dialpad and enter it, followed by a plus sign(+), then press call. The plus sign at the end of the number tells Sipdroid to intercept your dial action and route the call over SIP/voip rather than let it go to your cellular carrier. To enter a + sign from the dialpad, long press the 0 button. If all went well, you should hear the same message you heard in the previous call.
note: in the above left image from 0.9.4, the escape char used is a hash (#). However, in 0.9.6 and newer, the escape char is a plus sign (+)
Now let's talk about that Preferred Call Type option. When we set the Preferred Call Type to Phone, we told Sipdroid that whenever we make a call in the Contacts/Dialer app, we want to by default use our mobile carrier. As I mentioned above, postpending a plus sign indicated to Sipdroid that we wanted to take the opposite of our Preferred Call Type action. So if your PCT is set to Phone, then adding a plus sign will change that call to SIP. Again, you can tell the difference between a SIP call and a PSTN call by looking at the color of the call indicator. Another way to tell if you are performing a SIP call is that your network traffic indicator should start showing some bidirectional traffic.
However, if you set the Preferred Call Type to SIP, the behavior is reversed. Any time you attempt to perform a call in the Contacts/Dialer app, it will by default be made as a SIP call. If you add a plus sign will it be made as a Phone (mobile carrier) call. I don't recommend setting it up this way unless you are very comfortable with SIP and/or don't use your phone with a SIM. Note that emergency numbers will be dialed as Phone (mobile carrier) calls regardless of the PCT setting.
Making a call to a different VOIP network
So now you are able to call anyone with a SIP address or anyone in your SIP network with a number. What if you want to call someone on a different SIP network but you only have their SIP number? That's where SIPBroker comes in. Essentially, it lets you call someone on a different network using a special prefix. For example, if my number with Gizmo5 was 1-747-555-1212 and you were on Ekiga, you would find Gizmo5's prefix on SIPBroker (*747) and dial *747-1-747-555-1212 to reach me.
Now let's say you wanted to call someone on Google Talk or Yahoo/MSN Messengers. These are not SIP networks, so you could not natively communicate with them using SIP. No problem. Using the gtalk2voip service, you can voice chat with them for free.
Making a PSTN call
SIP isn't just useful for free VOIP calling. You can also call someone with a traditional phone number (a PSTN call) using VOIP and save a lot of money. The reason is because with a traditional PSTN-to-PSTN call, your carrier can control the price of the call and add a significant markup. If your VOIP service supports outbound PSTN, for the bulk of the trip your call is travelling over the internet for free. Only when it has neared its destination is it routed back into the public switched telephone network.
You ==> MobileCarrier =======================> Other Carrier ==> Friend
You --> SIP Provider ------------------------> PSTN outbound ==> Friend
=== Carrier controlled route ($$$) ---- Over the internet (cheap)
In order to make a PSTN call with Sipdroid, your SIP provider needs to support PSTN outbound. With Gizmo5, this is referred to as Call Out. Typically you will deposit a small amount of money into a prepaid account with your SIP provider and calls you make slowly draw out of this pool. The cost per minute depends only on the destination of the call. For some locations, this can mean a SIP call will be significantly cheaper than a standard PSTN call.
To make a call to a PSTN number, simply enter the number on the keypad and add a plus sign at the end, as if you were making a call to a SIP number. Your SIP provider should automatically detect it is a PSTN number and assuming it has an outbound function, route it using its PSTN outbound network. To quickly place calls to PSTN numbers using SIP from your contact list, open the contact and tap the "Text (number)" option, where (number) is the PSTN number you'd like to call using SIP. A context menu will appear letting you choose to call that number with SIP or to send a text message. Overloading the text intent is a bit of a hack, and it may change in future versions of Sipdroid.
The relationship between SIP and PSTN
Let's say you have a contact with two phone numbers, one for his PSTN number (1-510-555-1212) and one for his SIP account (1-747-123-4567).
If you tap Text 555-1212...... and choose the Sipdroid option, you will make a SIP call and he will receive the call on his PSTN phone. You will not be able to make the call unless your SIP provider has a call out function.
... and choose the Phone option, you will make a PSTN call and he will receive the call on his PSTN phone. Your call will use up your voice minutes in accordance with your mobile carrier's voice plan. Sipdroid/SIP is not used at all in this call.If you tap Text 123-4567...... and choose the Sipdroid option, you will make a SIP call and he will receive the call on his SIP phone (or whatever he has his SIP number set up to ring). This call will not use the PSTN network at all (unless your friend has set up his SIP number to forward to the PSTN).
... and choose the Phone option, you will get an error message from your mobile carrier informing you the number is invalid or not connected.
Area code 800 numbers for testing outbound
If you want to test outbound calling on a SIP provider with outbound, you can call the below numbers for free. Remember to use a plus sign after the number to indicate you want to place it as a SIP call.
+18004664411 (GOOG411)
+18005558355 (Microsoft's Tell Me news service)
DID and Incoming
Recent versions of Sipdroid are now finally capable of ringing on an incoming call. However, you may be wondering, how can your friends, family and coworkers call you using SIP rather than your cellular number? The answer is using a DID number, or Direct Inward Dialling. A DID number is simply a PSTN phone number. DID numbers can be configured to forward calls to voip networks. For consumers, there are a couple of options to set up a DID for SIP. Here are a few (only discussing US DID numbers for now):
Through your SIP provider - Some SIP providers targeted toward end-users offer DID numbers as a premium service. Gizmo5 calls their DID number service "Call In".
ipkall - One of the original free DID number service. Provides a free DID number in a select number of area codes around Seattle. Only forwards to SIP.
Google Voice - This is considered by some to be the ultimate free DID service, as you can choose a number from any US area code. However, GV is much more than a DID to forward to SIP, as it is designed to completely replace all your individual contact numbers with a single number that can be programmed to forward to your other numbers. GV also offers some other services such as advanced voicemail (automatic text transcriptions, forward to email, etc) and free calling and texting to US numbers.
Hello
I might be sound silly but I don't have much experience with either getting root or upgrading firmware. My HTC G1 is 1.1 firmware, 2.6.25-01845-g85d4f0d [email protected] kernel, RC33. The phone is unlocked, I am not in the US or Europe, and the main issue is that I don't want to take the risk of screwing all up and sending it back to restore.
From what I read in this thread, and also at
http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/wiki/FAQ
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
etc.
it seems it's best that I'd wait for official 1.5 being pushed, or someone can advise me some other (safe) solutions to upgrade?
I do need a SIP / VoIP client on my device really badly And some other things that come with the 1.5
Thanks...
Sipdroid does not require root.

I don't know. I haven't tried myself since I have already updated to ADP1.5. Posts on the sipdroid issue tracker seem to suggest that it will not run on 1.1. However at the current time you're not missing out on much. Sipdroid still needs a lot of work. It will not connect to all SIP providers, it does not ring/alert on an incoming call, and there are some call reliability issues. In other words, its not robust enough at the current time to be a full-time calling app.
I mainly wrote this guide to get interest in Sipdroid rolling (and hopefully stimulate more developers to contribute to the project).
this is still a bit complicated to understand...
Soecifically how to correctly set up a pbx account. the website itself is very confusing for a novice... maybe a little help with step by step would be great!

You don't necessarily need to set up a pbxes.org account. As I described above, many SIP providers will work with Sipdroid without a virtual pbx in the middle.
And yes, I agree pbxes.org's site is pretty confusing. Not the most well-designed interface.
Has anyone tried this out in the UK on T-Mobile 3g, I keep getting Registration failed (Timeout) and the red spot, I have tried this with both Ekiga and Gizmo5, any ideas what I might be doing wrong. Will try on wifi tonight.
Update: Looking at the Mobile Broadband Plus ( handset as modem) terms and conditions it says you cannot make internet phone calls, so I guess they are blocking the port.

Did you get to check on wifi? Dunno if Gizmo5 supports it, but you could try port 5061 too?
This is f***** awesome ! Thanks a lot for this version that supports WIFI/3G&Edge.... works perfect here in Switzerland !

I guess either the process of setting up a SIP service and Sipdroid is too complex for the average user. That or people don't know/care about Sipdroid. Or perhaps their mobile carriers are blocking port 5060.
I'm not one to require positive validation to do something, but it is a little disappointing this thread isn't getting more attention. Mainly because I was hoping more attention for Sipdroid would spur the project maintainers to address current usability issues (e.g. no ring/alert on incoming calls).
Keep truckin on!
I've been trying to get SipDroid to work for a long time. I can't get it to work with Gizmo, Magicjack, or PBXes... I always get Registration Failed(Timeout). I have DMZ'd my phone through my router so I know the ports are not being blocked. Haven't tested it over 2G/3G as theres no point if I can't do it over WiFi which I have access to almost 24/7 here in Cairo on my phone.
I know PBXes, Gizmo, and Magicjack are all setup correctly as I can use my WM6.1 phone easilly to connect to any of these services. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

Have you tried upgrading to 0.9.4 and connecting to Gizmo5 directly? It should work, read the guide. I don't believe you need to do any special configuration on the router (port forwarding, etc).
I've tried connecting directly to all three services. Also, I check daily for new updates via the website. Have had the newest version since it came out... so not quite sure why it always fails.
For those having trouble setting up PBXes.org I followed this guide several months ago when I originally setup my PBXes account. There are a few extra fields on the site now but as long as you have whats in the images you should be fine. Also, this was for Gizmo/Magicjack.
Orginally writtern by MagicDump @ www.MagicjackSupport.com
PBXes.com is a free online VOIP PBX Host.
With this setup you will be able to receive Call from any Gizmo5, Voxalot, Callcentric, Inum, etc, SIP Phone in the word, without having to have your computer or any ATA running 24/7!
In this setup I only Use Gizmo5 as an Example.
It works like this:
1. Anyone using a gizmo5 SIP phone from anywhere in the word will Dial your Gizmo5 Number eg. (17475551212) and your cellphone or Landline will ring.
2. Anyone can call your Magicjack Number at the Dial tone (9#) + (200#), and your cell Phone or land line will Ring.
3. You can call your Magicjack Number at the Dial Tone (9#) + (USA or Canada Number#).
4. You can Call your Magicjack Number at the Dial Tone (9#) + 1 + (last 7 digicts of any Gizmo5 Number#)
From the free PBXes.com account you will get 2000 min a month.
By changing Dial plans you should be able to use any SIP providers IN and Out.
You will not need to be connected to the Internet to make or receive Phone calls in your Cell or your Land line Phone.
In order for you to do this you will need:
1. Open a free account with PBXes.com"
https://www4.pbxes.com/
2. Open A free Account with Gizmo5.

I wrote a blog post on this app (GERMAN):
http://www.exelixi.ch/?p=328
Turns out they are blocking port 5060 here on public WiFi hosted by TEData. Switched to port 5061 using PBXes and its working. The strange thing is my WM6.1 phone is still using 5060 and connects to PBXes fine.
awesome
Killer app, im currently using Google Voice with Gizmo5 and I am able to place/receive calls for free with Google Voice/Gizmo, I just send all my calls to my Gizmo5 sip Number, set sipdroid to login to gizmo5 at serverroxy01.sipphone.com, then login with my gizmo username and password
I then head over to google.com/voice and place a call to my gizmo acct and free nationwide calling
Ok, I have sipdroid installed and it's working for outgoing calls. I have it linked to my GV account. Here is something strange though. I received a call on my Streak 7. But how? I mean what # did they dial? If you dial my GV # it rings on my cell phone so I'm trying to figure out how this call got routed to my streak 7 and what # they called to reach it.
How do you receive calls with sipdroid? What # does the person dial?
If you have the Streak number synced with your GV then when they dial that number (GV) then it will ring on any phone/device that is linked to it.

That's the thing.. My streak doesnt have a number. I'm not using a dataplan. Only wifi. My Google Voice account is actually linked to my cell phone # which is a mytouch 4g. When you call my gv # it doesn't ring on my streak, it rings on my mytouch4g. So I'm not really sure how I got this call

Guide
I keep seeing people saying they've set up their Streak 7 to make calls, (both incoming and outgoing) whether it be with Sipdroid or CSIPsimple. Thats great and all, but could somebody PLEASE help me out with a GUIDE that will EXPLAIN or SHOW how to do all of this. I think that's whats so frustrating for people. How do you do it??
follow the instructions on this link it will help you a lot. Fortunately I signed up to gizmo5 when the service was available. If you have any questions fell free to pm me.

go to your google voice settings, its in there, you have your GV forwarding to your cell.
I installed "Dialer One," "Google Voice," and "Sipdroid."
Dialer one is the default dialer which has the ability to add a shortcut to the homescreen....
Google voice is the number that I call from. Sometimes you see the "calling" GV feature thing crash, then Sipdroid takes over and makes the call...
I've run in circles with this thing as well. The reason I am telling you this is because I uninstalled all of the other apps and dialers, etc..
I DO have Google talk installed as well, but not sure if that affects anything. Sorry couldn't be more help right now.. It's a confusing cycle. Lol. Good luck.
(((( Outgoing calls show up as coming from my GV # )))
(((( Incoming calls only occur when someone calls my cell and they're forwarded to my tablet--- SOMEHOW-- WITHOUT forwarding setup. )))))

I DO have Google talk installed as well, but not sure if that affects anything. Sorry couldn't be more help right now.. It's a confusing cycle. Lol. Good luck.
(((( Outgoing calls show up as coming from my GV # )))
(((( Incoming calls only occur when someone calls my cell and they're forwarded to my tablet--- SOMEHOW-- WITHOUT forwarding setup. )))))

I keep seeing people saying they've set up their Streak 7 to make calls, (both incoming and outgoing) whether it be with Sipdroid or CSIPsimple. Thats great and all, but could somebody PLEASE help me out with a GUIDE that will EXPLAIN or SHOW how to do all of this. I think that's whats so frustrating for people. How do you do it??

Did you figure a way to do this. I'm going in circles trying to tie together several how-to's I'm still not getting it to work.

Hmmm... Let me see if I can help here.
1. You need to have a google voice account.
1.1 you google voice account setting: main forwarding: gchat has to be selected
1.2 do not choose call screening option (at least initially to get things work)
2. install Sipdroid on your device
2.1 click the "link with your google voice option on main page of sipdroid right after you installed it"
2.2 in Sipdroid setup, you will need to create an account with some provider like mine is pbxes.org
3. Have an account with pbxes.org (or maybe other service provider. but mine is with pbxes.org)
3.1 under extension: you should already have an sipdroid <200> (the extension number may be different , but this number MUST be the number in your sipdroid settings account field as "[email protected]" where 200 is the extension number
3.2 under inbound routing, you need to have a default routing which is "/"
click "/", you will see "sipdroid <200>" appear in various section, mainly "regular hours", "after hours", but there is one click which is "force regular hours", can help you simplify the setup initially to get things "work"
3.3 under outbound routing, you should see a "0 gtalk" routing trunk.
within the section, route name: gtalk
trunk sequence: 0 "GTALK/[email protected]"
4. In your sipdroid setting on your device, double check the username: [email protected]
password, your pbxes.org password.
Hope it can help in some way. Post your questions here and I will try to answer.
Cheers,
Thanks, got it now thanks to your excellent write-up. The order in which you do the above steps is of utmost importance.

did you really have to post this issue in every one of the of threads on sipdroid? I think once in your [Q] making calls over 4g is sufficient
Any idea wth happened to this one? i literary got a mate buying the same phone at the same place, with the feature on hand?
Use shortcut master to find the setting. I have done the same on mine

what settings exactly did you go for? a few guide that i've found didnt result in any success.
I found some SIP Settings with the app you recommended and managed to add my server (it's a local server), how exactly are the calls made? just dial the extension?

When placing a call it will ask you from where do you want to make the call. And just chose your SIP account.
Also receiving calls is working for me I am using voipdiscount.
I found the settings and configured an account of mine. But when placing a call it always go with one of the two sim cards and it doesn't ask which account it should use.
ALso, I cannot find where I should be able to enable incoming calls.
I set ALWAYS ASK as the way dual sim mode works, but it doesn't ask all the same.
Any hint?
Thank you.

I defined a sip account but when placing a call it doesn't ask me to use it so it seems useless as yet. Any hint? Maybe is there something else to set or configure?
Thank you.
on android 10, callingapp->settings->calling accounts->sip accounts its blank, but there is a barely visible + sign on top right. tap it and you can add a sip account.
to receive sip calls , in calling accounts, tab "make calls with" and select ask first.
also activate "receive incoming calls". (use more battery life)
