VoIP app for pulse

[Guest david_dawkins]

Hi all,

I'm in the US for a few days and looking for a decent Skype-like client. Latest "Skype for 3" is no good and "fring" is giving me a lot of choppy audio.

I'm wireless-only, so looking to make VoIP calls to landline numbers in UK (like SkypeOut). Anyone out there recommend a client that works well for them on their Pulse/U82x0?

Thanks!

Dave

Sipdroid? You'll need an account to plug it into though of course so might not be what you're after.

I recommend Truphone for skype there is no lag but it is little silent. Please if someone can write a tutorial for Sipdroid confuguration for skype i will be very grateful.

I use sipagent in conjunction with internetcalls.com I believe it has free calls to land lines in UK.

Thanks everyone.

Brack, I registered with internetcalls and installed sipagent; what do you enter for "Domain" when setting up sipagent?

I am using fring. It is a front end that lets you have access to a number of other protocols. I use it as a front end for Skype and it allows me to use my Skype Out as well.

The OP said that "fring is giving me a lot of choppy audio." in his first post.

Thanks everyone.

Domain is: sip.internetcalls.com

Read this:

SIP port : 5060

Registrar : sip.Internetcalls.com

Proxy server : sip.Internetcalls.com

Outbound proxy server : leave empty

Account name : your Internetcalls username

Password : your Internetcalls password

Display name/number : your Internetcalls username or voipnumber

Stunserver (option) : stun.Internetcalls.com

This is located here: http://www.internetcalls.com/en/sipp.html

It works a lot better, and I can hear my wife perfectly now, but now she can't hear me! The wifi signal in this house we're staying in seems to be rather weak, so perhaps it's just a bandwidth issue. This means I may have been unfair about fring. We've just asked the landlord to move the wireless router closer to our side of the house :huh:

It was definitely a free call though, and was very easy to set up, thanks to Brack's instructions. I'll persist with sip-agent. At least I can listen to all that's going on at home :P

Thanks again all.

After reading this thread, I tried the same i.e. created a new account on internetcalls.com and tried using both sipagent and sipdroid but it keep failing in registration process. I am on TMUK. Is it because VOIP is allowed by my operator or something else?
