Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Okay, that's the first I've heard about this.

I've always wondered why GV was completely free, like what does Google get by offering such a service?

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

I replied to your PM re settings.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Probably location based advertising/spying or they're planning to put up their own Telecom business and GV to them, is all but a test bed :)

BUT, GV to GV is forever free.. It's only the Free GV to non-GV (US and Canada) that will soon end... I'm still hoping it won't :D

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Thank you ! IT WORKED!!

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Most of @BlinkThinks setting would apply for N9. If you just use the settings from simonics and plug them into N8XX Sip app you should be good to go. That being said I have found that inbound calls don´t always connect on the first, second etc try (I have 4 phone numbers tied to GV). To get around this problem I still use my sipgate sip account (impossible to get now) also with the simonics sip, sipgate answers and simonics calls.

Now the outbound calls work just about 98% of the time with no callback. :) When I make outbound calls the ringing on my end starts about 10+or- seconds before my party hear their phone ring. For me it´s no deal breaker, also the call is clear on both ends (cable internet or WiMax)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

I tried tutorial posted by BlinkThinks on first page, but even with rebooting device twice, and multiple tries it keeps checking and then returns with cannot connect error on my N9.
BTW trying it on wifi network, since N9 cannot see my wifi currently.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Arie, check your (secret) / password. You may have missed any letter. It's case sensitive. Set Keep alive to Auto. If you have access to your Wifi Router's settings, port forward UDP port 5060-5080 to your N9's IP address. If your router supports QOS, set the N9's IP address to highest as well, also port 5060-5080.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

@somedude
What do you mean? Are you trying it on 3G or on Wifi? Your statement says both WifI and is contradictory...

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

sorry about that, i meant trying on 3g because i can never get lock on WiFi for some weird reasons (not much worried about it)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

It all depends on how good you 3G/3.5G connection is. You should try it first via your WiFi. If your account gets through, your 3G/3.5G connection may be not good enough.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

:D

So I found this sip call with gv from you. So thanks. Mine works. Question however. What do you view as the most significant thing about this capability?

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Free calls to/from US and Canada numbers. (Until service lasts) and free GV to GV calls.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Tried it again this morning with 3G and it connected and have been using it all day. The quality is super clear on both sides. Thank you

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

^ Are you getting incoming calls as well?

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

No problems receiving incoming calls over 3G/3.5G on my part. reception and clarity is great.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

yes no problems with incoming calls

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Since there is no need to forward to another number, am I right in saying that this is a better setup than e.g. ipkall+callcentric?

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

@ch88xy

I've since dropped my IPKall+callcentric since using this setup - considering calls from IPKall were choppy most of the times. You may however try both and check which one works better for you.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

I have yet to get an incoming call.

Weird.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Hi .. its asking for GV number starting with 1 .. does that mean its only for people living in the USA ? pls advise .. and by GV number i understand you have to provide your own cell number with country and area codes ?

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Addison, in your Google Voice account, check if 'Call Screening' is activated. You can either turn it off, or save all your 'trusted callers' in your GV contacts. Also try to activate "Forward your calls to Google Chat".

That sorted things out during my initial setup.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

GV is only free for calls in the US and Canada and GV to GV accounts. Yes you need to provide a US phone number (mobile/landline) where GV will call during the initial setup and verify your account.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Hey Blink.

Here's a snippet of what I got in the mail today from Simon Telephonics.

Since October 29, GVGW has connected...

405 calls from users' SIP devices to Google Voice (outgoing calls)
1149 calls from Google Voice to SIP (incoming calls)
Asterisk 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8, Nokia handhelds, ATAs (analog telephone adapters), SIP IP phones, and soft phones to Google Voice
for 86 registered users

Can you explain what any of this gibberish means? :)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Free calls in the US to other numbers, though it's not as useful to me because I'm on an unlimited everything plan.

SIP devices to Google Voice means calls that people made from their phones to other numbers.

Calls from Google Voice to SIP means calls that people made coming in.

86 is the number of registered users.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Calls from Google Voice to SIP means calls that people made coming in.


So Arie - so with our set up calls to our gv # go thru the gvgw now? If not, how do we get/receive calls via gvgw?

I love the experience so far.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

I have, however can't figure out how. Prolly caller id.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Thanks Arie.

When it said "405 calls" and "1149 calls", I read that completely all wrong.

I thought those were some type of special texting or call features I never heard of before.

Stupid brain. :)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

From what I understand that calls go through the simoncs server. Yeah, we receive calls through their server.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

well the Google voice will remain free until end of 2012 as per their new blog post.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

^ Yeah, I caught that announcement last night as well.

Great news for those of us who feel we are too special to ever pay for anything. :)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Its been over a week now that I am trying to set up this SIP again since I had to clear my device and I have been having H*ll, no matter where and what kind of connection I try I keep getting "Can't connect to SIP", any one knows anything on this issue?

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

The SIP number I got from this thread is still working strong so I have no idea on what your troubles might be.

Sorry.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

If it matters any, since i lost my first secret code i went and deleted my account from simonic.com and then created a new one, and have been trying with the new credentials.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Maybe your old junk is still stored somewhere.

I guess you could do a reflash if this is really important for you.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

for now until i get this sorted and have not been travelling, i just go to voice.google.com and make it dial the international number and have it forwarded to my regular phone, is working good so far but this was very convenient, will try again and see what it does tonight at a different WiFi hotspot.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Thanks guys. I am a new Nokia N9 user and this worked like a charm :)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

I can't believe I actually didn't read this post correctly until just now.

Thank you ever so much!

Now I can receive incoming calls again. :)

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Anyone can help. I can only dial out, but can't receive any call. I followed the instruction exactly.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

Clicking the box "Google Chat" on the Google Voice web page settings worked for me.

You can test this by going here.

Re: N9 SIP account with GoogleVoice
 

I did have it checked.
I went to the site and test it, not ringing?
What else did you have it checked on the GV web page?
