Freecall & SIP & N800
 

I was wondering if it was possible to use freecall together with the N800?

If it really is a SIP-based service, it should work with Gizmo as a client on the N800. Just download and try, Gizmo worked with any SIP-provider I tested.

Nokia also promised native SIP-support for 770/N800 looong ago (integrating the Sofia-SIP-library into the ITOS), but I'm not sure if they're still committed to it now they signed a contract with a proprietary VoIP service provider.

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

Not sure I would call Gizmo proprietary (SIP is an open standard), unless of course you are referring to the pending Skype release...

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

I am of course referring to Sk--e.

I don't know how you configure sip in gizmo, but i can't find a way to fill in the settings...

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

when you start gizmo, there's an option "login to second account (configure)". tap on 'configure'.

thank you, i looked everywere, but not there :)

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

i can't get it working :(

it rings, then stops, no error, nothing :(

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

you wouldn't expect it there, would you? after all, they have this settings-page for accounts.... well, a new approach to user interface design :D

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

I am really looking forward to getting my n800 and trying the sip function. My home phone service is all Voip on Sip protocals and I have logins to the actuall server can't wait for some of the advanced features and updates that I know will start moving to the n800

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

Speaking of Sofia SIP support, I think that the http://sourceforge.net/projects/tp-sofiasip project is quite lively these days. Maybe we'll have this ported to maemo one day...

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

Were you able to make any progress on this? I'm seeing the same behavior on my N810 (Chinook) with Gizmo (4.0 v97) and freecall.com.

It seems like there's just one piece missing in order to use the tablet for free incoming & outgoing calls.

Here's what I've done:

1. Gotten a Gizmo account
2. Gotten a Grandcentral phone number, forwarded to my Gizmo SIP number
3. Confirmed that incoming calls to my GC number can be answered via Gizmo
4. Gotten a freecall.com account
5. Added the freecall.com as a "secondary account" within gizmo, using "sip.voiparound.com" as the server
6. Confirmed that logging into gizmo authenticates against both gizmo and freecall.com

Unfortunately, all attempts to place outgoing calls result in the same thing... the gizmo side "rings" once, but the receiving phone never gets the call, then gizmo disconnects.

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

forget adding freecalls as a secondary in gizmo.
add freecalls in the default comm apps for the Internet tablet and it will work.
I did this a while back.
but freecalls is not forever, I cannot use my freecalls account anymore to make calls.
seems I have to buy credit.
service sucked anyways.

best bet is to pay for skype pro, which is 36 dollars for a year.
and use that to make outgoing calls.

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

Whats wrong with using Grand Central to make outgoing calls (click to call)? It is free.

Re: Freecall & SIP & N800
 

that works also.
but its just a hassle having to open up a web browser to place the call.
but I do use that also to make free calls.
