kudos:1 | [VOIPo.COM] Access/use VOIPo service from a cell phone? Does this make sense... Is it possible to use the VOIPo service from an Android smart phone over a 4G network?
I'm thinking something like a softphone for your laptop, but in this case from a smartphone. |

kudos:4 | Yes, I do it. That said, most of my VoIP calls are over Wi-Fi at home and they are quite good. The same calls over “4G” are usually substandard. |

You may try SipDroid or CSipSimple (less reliable, but offers a better UI).

You should be able to use any SIP softphone. To obtain SIP credentials, just login to VPanel and go to Features - Preferences - Softphone/BYOD.
As far as usage on a 4G network (vs wifi), that will vary some because there is some level of latency. From our experience with 4G connections, we've found that it's generally going to work well but since the connection fluctuates some there will occasionally be issues. |

I use the Internet calling built into the Galaxy Nexus. It has limited functionality, but works satisfactorily without draining the battery excessively. |

IMO, Bria is the best SIP client for Android. Beware Verizon uses a SIP proxy that caused me to use a port other than 5060. Other than that, I get good results on 4G, but still prefer wifi.

Is there anything that works from an iPhone? (jailbroken or not).
Will it register alongside with their ATA, or do you shut the ATA off?
Thx |

Both work at the same time. |

I have had good success with using sip on my android phone via VOIPo, but the problem has been receiving or making calls using bluetooth when mobile. It looks like bluetooth and many SIP apps are not very friendly. Any suggestions? Csip Simple has so far been most reliable overall but I cant' answer or place calls on bluetooth, Using regular phone service the bluetooth works fine. |
