I use Sipdroid on my HTC Hero with a Luxembourg number via a Luxembourg VOIP provider through WiFi and 3G/EDGE in Tallinn, Estonia. It works beautifully. I recommend this package unreservedly.

In order to avoid the “INVALID CAPTCHA” error, just don’t use Internet Explorer.

Works great with my Google Voice and Gizmo5 accounts for incoming calls. Still working on the outgoing solution.

[...] like to use his Wi-Fi to call out. Typically users would be pointed towards an application that launched in February 2009 called Sipdroid, but as you can see by the XDA Developers tutorial on the app, it’s anything [...]

PBXes.org still does not work, as it constantly gets INVALID CAPTCHA. Is there a work around? This has been reported since September.

Why is it always about the carriers?

November 14th – the “Invalid captcha” error is still preventing from registering (more then 2 months). I guess they are not interested in new users, otherwise they would have fixed it long time ago.

Unlike with iPhone, it doesn’t really matter so much if Google’s market bans an application, because the market is not the only way to get apps. Anyone is free to set up an alternative market (there are some good ones already) or to host app downloads on their own site.

Market is just a Google-provided convenience.

Unfortunately the website at PBXes.org does not work, as it constantly gets INVALID CAPTCHA while registering. What a waste of code.

We’ve been using Skype for a few months and love it! We have enough confidence now and disconnected our Wired service. Lovely to save that $50 a month. We do have cable internet and I think this is a must for reliability. I'd love to make voip calls on my cell but free is better. Dinah, SIP

“This just means I buy an I-phone instead of a G1.”

Why? An iPhone doesn’t do what my G1 does, and Skype VoIP, which one has to pay for anyway, will not change that.

T-Mobile’s restrictions have nothing to do with making less money because user’s use less minutes. It has more to do with the Skype service competing with T-Mobile’s @Home service which is essentially the same type of service, but for which you pay T-Mobile $10 per month. All of which benefits T-Mobile because they make their $10 a month and they lessen the load on the towers.

It’s weird that they would make you use on 3G when Apple’s policy is the exact opposite; they are fine with VoIP over Wi-Fi but not over 3G.

I assume that Apple’s providers don’t want their customers making free and/or very cheap calls over an unlimited connection.
