I've used VBuzzer (still have account) and found there system to work fairly well. Currently I'm using Gizmo for ease of use. With Gizmo I can send/receive calls and SMS messages over WIFI when out of cell coverage. I do use a bt headset to overcome the volume/rear speaker issue and you should note that Internet Calling when setup properly will dial out thru the phone dialer. I've used Skype and Fring and did like Skype's phone program but it's not SIP. Hope this helps.

Interesting. I too am using a Gizmo account and a bluetooth earpiece. Same issue with the today screen as everyone else of course.
What I do is just open the dialer - if I see it say "Sprint" I know I'm not using voIP, and then do what you do to re-activate it. Once I've done that, open the dialar and I see the name I put in the voip setup program. Sucks of course, have to open the dialer to know if it's on voIP or not.
I do have a question for you though. One of the issues I've had with Gizmo is the volume level - I find it very hard to hear the person I'm talking too. Do you have this issue too?
Thanks!
