just got my invite for google voice... any way to use wifi?
i get horrible reception in my house, and i was wondering if there's a way to receive calls on my phone from google voice, using my wifi router, and eliminate the need for a cellular connection. that would be my ideal situation, but i don't know how to go about doing that.

I dont think so because this isnt a voIp service like skype. All it does is forward to an existing phone number. Now - if you have a skype number, you could forward to that using wifi...

Hi, yes, it's possible. This is what you're going to need:
-Google voice account (obviously). -Gizmo project account -Fring (other SIP software should work fine) 1. Sign up for a Gizmo account: http://www.gizmoproject.com Install the Gizmo software ON YOUR PC. You need that for the verification call from Google voice). 2. In your "My" page on the Gizmo web site, you see "SIP number" under "Account overview", copy that number. 3. In your Google voice account, go to "settings" > "Phones" > "Add a new phone". Name it what you want, put the SIP number from Gizmo and choose "Gizmo" as the phone type". 4. Install the Gizmo software on your PC, login. Make the google verification call. Gizmo rings, pick up, it asks for a verification code, just type it on your keypad. Your Gizmo number is verified. 5. Go to fring.com and download fring for your PocketPC. 6. When it's time to add an account, double click SIP, then choose gizmo. Enter your username and password, and you should be able to receive google voice calls via wifi as long as fring is loaded. You can uninstall Gizmo from your PC if you want. The big problem of course is that this will eat your battery alive :-/ |

If you want to use SJPhone instead of fring, you can also follow the instructions posted on this page: http://www.osnews.com/story/12048/Gi...one_SIP_Client
Get SJPhone at http://www.sjphone.org/preview/SJpho...wsCE(preview)/ (WM5 version). If you use call presentation, SJPhone is the better choice. |
Re: just got my invite for google voice... any way to use wifi?
i haven't tried sjphone, but i tried fring a while ago, and i got a really bad distortion thing, kind of like feedback, so it makes it useless. it does receive the call though. anyone recommend any other clients that work well with the touch pro?
just tried sj, but its unbearably slow |
Re: just got my invite for google voice... any way to use wifi?
Just wondering, what's slow about sjphone? For me, the calls come in faster on sjphone than they do on my regular cell number!

Re: just got my invite for google voice... any way to use wifi?
its not the calling, its the interface.. i ws trying to setup the ear piece, and it just sorta froze at the test thing for 5 minutes, and then lagged the entire phone.

Re: just got my invite for google voice... any way to use wifi?
i've been trying to get it to work, but it keeps getting stuck at "sip: registering as" and its not connecting. i freed up the ports mentioned in the article, but its just not connecting. i can receive calls though.

Re: just got my invite for google voice... any way to use wifi?
hmmm.. just read this: Google Voice Calling is ON(Duration is limited to 3 minutes per call, service subject to change)
and then i saw some funny things on my gizmo account. 04 August, 07:59 PM +1-631-***-**** $ 0.0190 00:01 $ 0.019 04 August, 07:57 PM +1-631-***-**** $ 0.0190 00:01 $ 0.019 04 August, 07:56 PM +1-631-***-**** $ 0.0190 00:01 $ 0.019 04 August, 03:36 PM +1-631-***-**** $ 0.0190 00:01 $ 0.019 04 August, 03:34 PM +1-631-***-**** $ 0.0190 00:01 $ 0.019 |

I have a Samsung Omnia I910 with WINMO 6.5. Is there a SJPHONE for this platform?
I used FRING but its very unstable on my phone and when it does run smooth.. the call quality is very buzzy and unclear. |

can you explain this theory a little bit more to me.. i dont understand the concept... You said to put our landline number in the config of onedialer as the from number.. i know it wants your mobile number, but this is the number that onedialer uses for GV to call once GV connects to the dialed number.. so If my thinking is right.. this will probably call your house phone with whoever you dialed. |
