Re: Tips for Running VoIP from a Wireless Connection

Your Axim setup is pretty sweet. And you are saying that the quality is very good? What do you use for a headphone or headset? Or do you just use the microphone from the PDA and just any speakers?

Thanks... Just used it from a 2 hotels, in 2 different towns in Mississippi. Since 99% of the places I passed all offer free hi-speed wireless internet this will work pretty much everywhere. In the first place I got about a 57% signal from the room -- the second place had 6 access points around the hotel so I got 100% from everywhere except the elevator, where I got 88%. Pretty nice to walk around the hotel on the VOIP phone without dropping a call... Bye bye cell!!

Using the stereo headphones I use for MP3 play (Sony) I get to hear the call in clear stereo (amazing how much you really hear!!) The Axim I have doesn't allow for a headset mic so I hold the Axim or place it on a table when speaking. Callers say the quality is so life-like that both people I spoke with compared it to ''being on an extension in the same house''.

With both hotels the calls never dropped (total call time for both days was over 2 hours) and the battery on the Axim went down to around 70% both days at maximum processor speed (400 mhz).

Bottom line -- can't beat a free US-CAN phone from anywhere in the world...

That is awesome man. I can't wait to try it out. The axim I have does not have built in wireless however so I have to either get a wireless card for it or sell this pda and get a pda with built in wireless.

Does your PDA have built in wireless? Do you recommend any wireless cards for PDAs?

My Axim is a X3i with built-in wireless. I have heard that the wireless cards that plug into the SD slot in the top of the unit work just as well.

I find amazing that it works so well. Now if Vonage will just open their SIP info I'd really be rockin'. When I was in downtown Vicksburg, MS their downtown area was covered in WI-FI ZONE signs... Wish I had tested it while walking around the historic downtown area.

Post your experiences when you test it. It's just so cool!!
