UPDATE:
Here are some crap videos that show this working using both csip and sipdroid thru bt
BT CALLS
CALL & RECEIVE
SGT Call & Receive
this is directed at the poor souls that had to get cdma sprint tab and wanted phone function...i got phone working on viewsonic gtab easily with no radio,however gtab sucks compared to SGT imho. so i t n e'd much until i found a proper method of execution for cdma sprint SGT.
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:
google voice number(free)
ipkall number(free)
gv apk(free)
sipdroid-also sets up pbx for you(free)
FYI
(in order to setup your free ipkall it will ask for a #;this is not a standard #. it will vary depending on service...eg. magnus-200.use sipdroid to autmagically set up for you then just transplant the info properly)
1.)google voice+number and setup account
2.)grab free number from ipkall and reg it with gv
3.)grab sipdroid and let it setup a new pbx for you
4.)set this devce to ring thru gv
5.)open sipdroid app and make dial call...
test on wifi and data
when dialing a number hit enter on kb instead of the #5 for sipdroid dialer, or you will get the "this device cannot make calls error"...i will figure this out and eliminate it, however i dont see it anymore but i need to break thru it.
i have been messing with csip cus i like the dialer alot, however i cant get it to setup right anymore. i can get it to register, but not to call right...but sipdroid works great and i cant complain about free calling from my tab using my gv number
please post finding and results....
thanks

make sure that:
you are dialing with sip app not gv
(i prefer csipsimple dialer)
ipkall number is registered with google voice
that sipdroid setup ur pbxes proper
after sipdroid sets up ur pbx for you try csisimple as well
(make sure to setup as international carrier/pbxes in account setup and same credentials as sipdroid used for setup)
test using your primary line. since i set this up i do not use my evo very much since the tab is better in every way.phone is not as good of course but tab is not meant to be a phone here so i am happy with what i have accomplished for free. also you will have to adjust latency in settings to improve sound quality to your liking.
Sadly, there is no support for the Bluetooth Headset (with mic) profile on the CDMA GalaxyTab. This will work but you will have to use the built-in mic on the GT for your calls until someone either patches the BT stack or builds a custom rom with full BT profiles.
This is the exact reason I can't wait for custom rom development to begin on the CDMA versions.

Care to help me out and get it setup? Once I have an understand of the right way, I could put a guide with pictures to help people.
I've tried this but unfortunately every ipkall phone number i get assigned is apparently already in use in someone elses google voice.
tried call the area codes ipkall provides and repeatedly cancelling and re-creating ipkall accounts in hopes of getting a previously unused number
I am wondering if you could just use a Sipgate number.
I'll try to help with his tomorrow. Magnus walked me though this this afternoon and there were a few hiccups but it's working flawlessly now.

There is another way to do this, but it isn't as clean. You need to obtain a Sipgate account or any SIP provider that allows free incoming calls. Once you have that, you register it with your google voice account. Then you will need to configure Sipgate with either sipdroid or csip.
To make outbound calls:
On the tab, log into your google voice account. You will then be presented with a web dialer and can select the sipgate account to have the call sent to
Inbound:
will ring your sipgate account

I found out what I was doing incorrectly. Here is a run down that will hopefully help everyone on a way to do this.
Step 1: Download SIPDroid from the Market Place
Step 2: Obtain a google voice account
Step 3: Launch SIPDroid and instruct it to create a PBXes.com account for you with your google voice account information
Step 4: Go to IPKall
Step 5: Go to the settings of SIPDroid and write down the first account information (should be [email protected])
Step 6: On IPKall, put in the XXXX-200 for the sip # and pbxes.com for the sip proxy
Step 7: Register your IPKall number with Google Voice (if gives an error ask it to Verify the information. It will then dial your SIPDroid software and ask for a 2 digit number. It might take a couple of times before it recognizes it.)
Step 8: You are now ready to make calls and receive calls.
There are a couple other options that remove the need for the IPKall, but it requires having multiple SIP accounts setup. I currently have 3 setup on my Tab.
Is there an advantage of using three sip accounts?

I am getting ready to go on vacation to T&C for two weeks on Sunday. Last time I left the country and made calls back home on a global cell phone I had a couple hundred dollar bill. Is it possible for me to call my friends/family back home in the US while out of the country and on WiFi over a VOIP program for cheap or free calls? I thought Google Voice was the answer but doesn't seem to be what I want. Also, it would be preferred if the recipient did not have to install anything on their phone.
Any suggestions?

Fring only works with other phones that have Fring installed, correct?

Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Mmmkay, here's what you do.
1) Go get a Google Voice account with a local number. Get that all setup so it'll ring your cellphone (trust me, just stick with this).
2) Head on over to Sipgate.com and sign up for a free Sipgate One account. When it asks for a phone number to verify that you're not a bot registering, give it your real cellphone number. Don't worry if you can't get a "local" number and only wind up with something in California (don't worry, just follow the instructions).
3) Download and install Sipdroid on your EVO. Make sure to set "Preferred Call Type" to "Phone" (otherwise Sipdroid will always take over for all outbound calls. This is bad when you get back in the country, and because Sipdroid doesn't play well with Sipgate for outbound calls, which also cost money on Sipgate). For the SIP Account settings, grab these off your control panel on Sipgate's website (Go to Settings, then on the right-hand side, you'll see "SIP Credentials". Click that) and use the SIP-ID and SIP-Password for the Authorization Username and Password fields in Sipdroid, appropriately. Use "sipgate.com" for Server or Proxy and Domain. Leave Username, Port, and Protocol as-is. Next, go to the Call Options menu in Sipdroid, and enable "Use WLAN", "Use 3G", and "Use EDGE" (Yes, there's no EDGE on CDMA, but it's just to prevent issues). While you're out of the country, you can disable "Use 3G' and "Use EDGE" to force all calls to be WiFi-only.
4) In Sipgate's settings, go to the Forwarding section, and clear out all of the rules (We don't want Sipgate to handle voicemail, as Google Voice will be taking care of that).
5) Add your Sipgate number to Google Voice's list of phones. Make sure to mark it as a landline (not a cellphone) and that you have Sipdroid open and connected when you go to do the verification. Congratulations, you're all set up!
Now, when you leave the country, open up GV online, disable your cellphone's number (your Sprint number, not your Sipgate number) as an available phone. Set Sipdroid to only use WLAN, and I'd recommend putting your phone in Airplane mode with just WiFi turned on. Now people can call and text your Google Voice number (you can install the Google Voice app on your EVO to manage voicemails and texts, and when you get back in the country, to handle calls, too!). To make calls, that's a little more tricky. You have to open up the Google Voice site in a full browser (you can try setting your UAString and all that to Desktop on your EVO's browser, but it doesn't work too well), and then click the "Call" button in the top-left, and select your Sipgate number as the phone to call with, type in the phone number to call, and hit Connect.
Now, the beauty of it all: How GV works is when you have an incoming call, they just forward the call to your number. When you make an outgoing call, GV calls you, then establishes a conference call between you and the destination. As soon as that happens, GV "leaves" the conference call, just leaving you and the destination connected with each other. This works perfectly, as Sipgate One allows for unlimited, free, inbound calls. In addition to all this, you can use a computer with a headset, and the new Gmail to call people directly from the Gmail webpage. Nifty, eh?
Awesome! Just set everything up and made a few local test calls (inbound/outbound) and it works just as you said it would. As long as it still works when I get to T&C, then this is a great option. Thanks for such a detailed write up and for saving me some money this vacation
PS: Do I have to worry about the "calling credit" tab on Google Voice's homepage? It says all calls within the US are free but international calls will affect your balance. It will not know that I am out of the country since it is being directed through Sipgate and all the calls will be free, correct?

Just checked my Sipgate account and it says I have 57 out of 60 minutes remaining. On their homepage it states "Sign up now and receive 60 free minutes to use on domestic calls during your first month. If you need more minutes or want to use sipgate beyond your free trial please charge your account using a credit card."
I don't really have a problem paying for extra minutes "lowest amount you can buy is $20." But I just want to make I set up everything correctly because you had stated that Sipgate allows for unlimited, free, in-bound calls.
Thanks!

GV shouldn't care about where you are, since you're using WiFi to Sipgate. And according to Sipgate's Twitter, all inbound calls are free. See these conversations:

If they try to charge you for GV... Something's up. I'd contact their support team.

So I have been looking around here, searching (unsuccessfully) on how to setup Google Voice (GV) to use only data on 3g and wifi. I see no settings in GV or ICS for this. How do I set this up using GV to dial only data and no voice?
Can I simply go to:
Phone (stock app) >Settings > Use Internet Calling > For all calls when data is available
And then:
Google Voice (downloaded App) > Settings > Making Calls > Use Google Voice to Make all calls
Will these settings work successfully or do I need to purchase an app like Groove IP to get the result I am looking for?
I also signed up for an SIP account at sip2sip and tried to configure a SIP account in the phone, but the account wont configure properly on the phone.
Anyways I am all over the place here, some guidance from someone with more knowledge than myself would be great
Thanks!
There's a misconception that Google Voice is a VOIP service. It is not, it is simply a call forwarding service. When someone dials your GV# it simply forwards to one or more other numbers. Downloading the GV app doesn't enable or allow native VOIP calls on the phone.
The only way to get a VOIP solution going with Google Voice is to have it forward calls to Google Talk (what you'd usually do to make and receive calls in GMail), and use an app like GrooVe IP or Talkatone to intercept those and relay them to your phone.
These basic VOIP service layers for GV aren't as good as they sound. They can work quite well when configured properly on WiFi, but don't expect to make quality calls walking down the street on 3G. The codecs they use just require too much consistent bandwidth and don't work well on mobile networks.
There are other more complex SIP systems that you can pay for and have your GV# forward to, but for that I recommend you head to general and read the VOIP thread.

Hi Quarkboy!
I am using T-mobile $30 plan, grooveip, google voice to do exactly what you describe. I used it this past week in both Boston and Chicago. I have a new to me used not yet unrooted HTC sensation, DL speeds I get 2mbs to 4 mbs. Calls are "clear", I don't and listeners don't hear static, but, everything sounds a little "thin" and "tinny". I plan to try talkatone next.
IMO, the sound quality is not poor enough to abandon grooveip for most calls, but, for an important call I'd probably use plan minutes.
GL!
Yes. If you want it to make all calls, just set it to that. I have used it and confirmed on my bill that it works

You don't have to set up third party programs anymore. You can just set it up though gvoice itself. I'll send screen shots when I get home. I've made two outgoing calls at the same time with it before. The other parties caller I'd shows my gv number. And. It didn't ever charge my minutes. Long story as to why I did it, but I do use gv all the time for visual voice mail. And texting.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
To use the native internet calling, you need to download sipdroid from the market temporarily. Through sipdroid, you can create a free account with pbxes.org with a google voice trunk (not available for free if you directly sign up at pbxes.org).
I'm about to investigate further (just got the $30 100min/5gb plan myself today), but if pbxes.org supports call forwarding if there's no active sip session (or less good, forward after x rings/seconds), you should be able to sign up for another GV/pbxes pair and use that to ring your real phone number. That way, you can have people call one number and always be reachable, and have voip preference to not eat your minutes.
It's a shame you can't do prioritized ringing natively with GV.
Yea. I downloaded Talkatone and I'm glad I did. I'm definitely going to buy the addless license after a week of use. Just have to make sure that I havent missed any problems before purchasing.

I made an accidental call using Google Voice while using my cell network (not wireless internet) and it rang! So not sure if you get charged using minutes or if its only taken from your data. I wonder if you can receive calls as well.

Yes you do get charged minutes with just gv. Use talkatone to call without minutes. Play around in the settings to get it just right. You know it's right when you can make and receive calls on airplane mode our without the Sim in the phone. Additionally, most importantly make sure to log into the desktop version of gv and forward all calls to google talk.

Interesting. I just signed up and I'm trying to get it set up with the built in Internet Calling features in Android.
If I set Google Voice and Internet Calling to Ask Each Time I get this:
Call with Google Voice > Dials using Cell
Call with Cell > Asks me to chose internet or cell
So that doesn't seem to be what is expected. Although I suppose I could reduce minutes by receiving calls over gv.
Finally, does anyone know if pbxes.org keeps you logged into gtalk on their servers 24/7?
What is the best setup you found for incoming/outgoing Google Voice VOIP calls on a (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus? Interested in apps that work very well over wi-fi only, not over mobile data.
I'm looking for something that has great voice quality and also integrates seamlessly with the native dialer so that when not on wifi it makes phone calls over the cell radio and when on wi-fi it makes VOIP calls using Google Voice.
I see pbxes.org mentioned a lot. Is it worth the trouble given that they store the GV password on their server and then from what I understand they have to re-code from the GV codec to whatever codec the SIP client on the phone negotiates with the pbxes servers - I hope my understanding of how it works is correct.
Other options I've seen mentioned: Groove IP, Spare Phone, Talkatone.
Not sure which approach works best, maybe the experts here can save me some research time.
And as a SIP client, what works well? I tried the native phone SIP client with a SIP VOIP service and it sounded terrible, not sure why the native one doesn't work well.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, this is interesting but unfortunately it is too cumbersome to use by the person I'm setting up the phone for. I'd like a solution that's fully automated, use 1 dialer only (either native or a different app) that can smartly route calls via GV when on wifi (at home) or cell when not on wifi.
You can setup your PBXes account just like the tutorials (with SIPdroid) and then put the account info into the regular dialer. I think the extra steps to use the stock dialer were in a wiki somewhere or some external webpage (not on this forum).
You only need SIPdroid to create the free extension on PBXes and follow the tutorials to get all setup. Then you can go into the stock dialer and put in accountname-200, password, and then pbxes.org as the domain. You can choose to receive calls on wifi only or while on a data connection with a checkbox. I've heard that the codec used with the stock dialer isn't that great, though. It's one of those things you'd have to tryout for yourself.
One dialer to send and receive calls. It even lets you know if it's a data call or not. Maybe this is something you wanted to look into?
What SIP client pairs well with PBXes? I know the stock dialer SIP is very poor, I tried it with another SIP service and the call quality was mediocre, while their dedicated client worked very well, so at least I know it's not the phone hardware, it's the software.
I also read about potential latency issues with PBXes because they only have 1 server in NY. Is that still the case or the latency issues have been resolved? I guess in general I'm looking for a fairly reliable service though I'm prepared to accept occasional hiccups.

Mr.binglejellsx2 is almost correct. I have been deal with more than 15 apps to get best. create a account by using sipdroid. make sure you have got green dot and place one out going and incoming call via sipdroid. Exit sipdroid from your phone. go to pbxes.org and login under extension under sipdroid 200 (from left) than right, under device option retype your password. (means you are get ride of sipdroid and ready for new sip). in your phone open sipdroid and make sure your got yellow and exit. in your phone call setting, add new account, your username-200 password, server is pbxes.org under option make sure your port is 5060 and not uda must be tcp. hit back and your phone should say receiving call. If not working go to pbxes.org and re type password same extension and under personal data enter your password two times where required and submit start (means, you dont want sipdroid, the second sip and now ready for any new getaway which will be your native sip) this must work. I don't see best call quality anywhere. this is awesome especially for wifi. just like your carrier. I use this everyday for international call.. let me know if don't work. If works just enjoy..
Thanks for your reply. I've been using Groove IP with very good results over wifi (that's what I care about, Sprint 3G mobile data is so bad anyway that it can't carry a call). The paid Groove IP integrates nicely with the native dialer too, so the experience is good.

You are very welcome. Glad that you have got the good one. Good people always have good only..
I've seen quite a few tutorials on how to make VoIP calls with sipdroid and Google voice. Has anyone been able to get their sip account connected to the native sip client in the phone settings menu and use it to make free incoming and outgoing calls. If you have what steps did you take to make it happen?

I have used my 2 account with native sip client for outgoing call and working.
I have just added account details
Call setting - Internet call setting - account.
Just add user name and password and server name for your sip account (most of using [email protected] here xyz. Com is your sip provider.

I just tried it today. It's just terrible. Calling OK but conversations are choppy. Native SIP call has serious bug.
CSipSimple, Sipdroid worked well.
Edit: Solved, apparently my call recorder app was causing error
Were you able to make calls using your existing number or did you have to use Google voice.
I'm using a betamax clone Jumblo. Google Voice is not available in my country yet.
I confirmed my mobile number and set up SIP settings in android.
Therefore your answer is "yes", people see my mobile number during conversations.
That's awesome! Now all i have to do is figure out how to configure my own lol

Well let me give you mine.
I assume you already have a confirmed phone number on your voip provider.
Then on your phone
Phone/Call Settings/[internet call settings] Accounts/Add account
Username: Your confirmed phone number like +901234567890
Password: Your voip password
Server: your voip server like sip.jumblo.com
Set as primary account: enable
[tap on optional settings]
Authentication user name: Your voip account name (not your phone number like above)
That's all :good:

I've done it with my Sipgate account, which gives me free incoming calls, but I have to pay for outgoing calls.
I went to the phone app, menu button, call settings, go down to the bottom of the list where there is the section for "Internet call settings", then Accounts, I then added an account, and filled in the details. The username and password are not the same ones I use to log into the Sipgate website, but in the account details there, it tells me which ones to use.
I could hear the other caller fine, but the problem I had was that it only worked on speakerphone, and the other caller complained that it was very bad echo on the line.
Try using third party sw.
Sipdroid and Bria are good, particularly Bria have best audio.

I've tried it again with the ROM update - stock ROM android version 4.4.2. The sound quality is much better now, however when someone calls me, the phone doesn't ring, it just displays the caller details on the screen, so if I'm not looking at the phone, I won't know they are calling. I tried with an inbound call over the voice network, and that rings just fine, so the problem isn't with volume settings or ringtone, unless there is a different option for internet calls hidden somewhere that I can't find.

Hello Jonathan,
did you ever manage to solve the issue with no ringtone on incoming internet call? I’m having the same issue and I can't find any information anywhere on how to enable the ringing. I'm using a custom ROM Androind Revolution HD 31, which is based on the Stock samsung ROM.
Thanks and cheers.

I have the same issue, when I use the native internet calling of my phone (galaxy note 2 N7100, android 4.4, stock rom (no root)). A while ago I read something that it was a know issue with touch-wiz so I just used Csipsimple waiting till they fixed it. Now that it seems like we won't get lollypop I was wondering if there could at least be a fix for this issue.
I'm used to the iOS voice app that has an embedded dialer. Is there an analog in Android? Even though I have GV set to ask whether to use GV or my cell number to dial, it seems the only way to dial is to choose a contact from GV app. Using the native dialer always dials from my cell #.
Is there a hidden feature or alternate app for dialing?
You don't need Google voice that's a completely different service. Use google now its much better and it will search anything from any screen by saying "OK google" once you set it up. I'll attach some screen shots for you.

Thanks, but that's actually not the issue - I'm trying to use Google Voice to that it sends my office phone number as callerID when I call clients from the road. Unfortunately, Google's brilliant (not!) use of "Voice" for the name of a service makes searching impossible to find help on the app. (Google Voice Dialing, as in Dialing with the Google Voice cloud app)
I'm actually using google voice for a second phone line I use with clients. It rings on my desktop and forwards to my cell. I would like to be able to dial out from my G3 using Google Voice so that the callerID that gets sent is my office number, not my cell number. As I said, if I select a contact from the GoogleVoice app, it asks whether to dial with the GVoice app (which goes through a telephone gateway with the Office CallerID), or to dial with the native phone app, which would send my cell phone CallerID.

Groove ip should enable your google voice number to be the native caller id.

Thanks - I'll give it a try; that's a VoIP solution though, right? I was hoping for an ability to direct dial (from the gv app). I'm still discovering some of the weird things that work better under iOS than android, and am kind of surprised when it's the native Google stuff that is "behind".
Yehp, it's done wonders as my office phone, you could at the least have it request permission when dialing to which number you'd like to use, just a click away, about the same or less amount of clicks you'd use compared to going into gv, selecting a contact, and dialing. With groov normal contacts, select or dial, await popup for which dialer you wish to use, and bam!
If you go into the Google Voice app on your G3 and then go into the Settings for the Google Voice app, you should see an option entitled "Making calls". In that section you have 4 choices to select from for how you want Google Voice to behave when you make a call from your phone using the native phone app:
1) Use Google Voice to make all calls
2) Do not use Google Voice to make any calls
3) Only use Google Voice for international calls
4) Ask every time I make a call
It sounds like you'd prolly want to go with option 4. That way when you go into the Phone app on your G3 and dial a number to place an outgoing call, Google Voice will pop up and ask you if you want the outgoing call to be placed with either your Google Voice number or your "real" phone number that you got from your carrier. This way you have the choice presented to you for every outgoing call you make from your G3.
I've used Google Voice for years now and this is how it's always worked. I use option 1 for my own needs on my cell phone because I just give everyone my Google Voice number and never give out my "real" cell number except to a few choice friends and relatives, so I always want my outgoing calls to show my Google Voice number to the person I'm calling.
Hope that helps you out.
That works too ^^^^^^^^
The thing is I started using groove when google voice would not allow me to make any calls using the app its self ....
*edit*
I forgot before I said that, yes you can make calls with gvoice, but your caller id will be some other number.
GrooVe IP will allow you to make a call whether on wifi or data (note the full ver is the one that allows the data call) Google's a thing..... and it will also show your gvoice number as the number you are calling from, as well as you can recieve calls to your device instead of just acquiring a voicemail to call back from....
[SOLVED]
Okay, so something that was installed, or uninstalled, as I was fiddling with the phone caused GVoice to lose its hook into the calling processes. Uninstalling GVoice and then reinstalling (from the Play store) re-attached it and now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Just a clarification for future searchers - yes, this is supposed to be how it works but somehow my phone stopped doing this. No matter what the setting was, dialing from the phone app dialed with the cell number, and choosing a received message or missed/placed call from the Voice app would dial using the Google Voice interchange. It was weird and, apparently, very unusual behavior.
