How To: Free Calls via Wifi (using Google Voice & Gizmo5)

[carlitobklyn]

1) Setup or Login to your gizmo5 account page (www.gizmo5.com)
2) There should be a section explicitly for entering your Google Voice username and password. Enter your username and password. Also be sure to make a note of your full 11 digit Gizmo5 number


3) Download and open the SIPDroid app from the market. In the SIPDroid app, hit Menu and press Settings. Enter:
Username: your 11 digit Gizmo5 number (e.g. 17475555555)
Password: your Gizmo5 password
Server: proxy01.sipphone.com


4) Turn on your phone's Wifi connection. Make sure SIPDroid is running (should be in the Ongoing section of the notifications drop down menu).


5) Login to Google Voice (www.google.com/voice). Add & Verify your Gizmo5 number. If you set up SIPDroid correctly and your wifi is working properly, your G1 should ring. It took a few tries for the phone to actually ring but eventually it did for me.



Yes, you need a Google Voice account. No, no one can invite you except Google. Incoming calls on Gizmo5 are free. Ask further questions and discuss below!

I have given this a try but it says my registration keeps failing.

Help anyone?

Ok....got it working.

Just in case anyone else has this problem......

For user name, I changed it from my Gizmo number to my Gizmo account name and registration went thru.

If you download sipdroid from the google code site and not the android market, then you can make calls on 3G/Edge in addition to wifi.

According to Gizmo5 site, its limited to 20 minute call durations...guess they are still trying to see what direction they want to go with this. When I enabled it initially there was no limit specified.
