Step by step guide:use tablets like a phone...FREE
If you have a grandcentral acct, pls try it. It is really NOT that difficult and it is pretty fun to use it like a phone.
Answer incoming calls: I use Gizmo5, in fact the built-in sip (see the next couple lines for SIP setup) will do just fine. You do need a grandcentral number to answer calls from regular phone. Goto step 3) to set up incoming call using grandcentral. 1) Communication>Internet call>Tools>Accounts...>New>Next>Service SIP>Next> User name: Gizmo username@proxy01.sipphone.com password: Gizmo password and check Use for PSTN calls: If it sets up right, you should now have a green icon next to wifi icon on the status bar. You do not need the Advanced setting. If it flicking between green and red, your sip accounts setup is NOT correct. Try proceed with Advanced setup, 2) Advanced> (most people does not need this) Connection: Transport: choose UDP Outgoing proxy: blank Port: - 5060 + Discover public address: checked Keep-alive mechanism: Auto Keep-alive frequency: - 0 + Authentication leave them blank STUN uncheck Auto-detect STUN STUN server: stun01.sipphone.com STUN port: - 3478 + log into gizmo, when phone rings, tap on the Answering incoming call, then the Gizmo icon will now turns to page 2, go back to gizmo page 1, tap on the phone icon (on top of the page, right below status bar, you see < Home Phonebook Calls > and a phone icon) to get a dial pad and hit 1 you should now able to talk/listen from the tablet, just like a Nokiafone. Dont get frustrated, it takes awhile to get a hole on the dial pad to catch the call... Maybe some guru can make the dialpad comes up by self, that would be tremendous help. For the built-in sip, during incoming calls, tap to answer incoming call, menu>Internet call>DTMF dialing and hit 1 and you then able to talk/listen, just like a Nokiafone Dial out: Requirement Gizmo acct, free Grandcentral acct, free; dont know how one can get it now, apparantly it has closed Repeat step 1) or maybe 2) as above. Install DialCentral from http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/dialcentral/, put it all together by brontide. Setup and fill in grand central username/password and that is almost it, you are almost ready to make outgoing call! 3) On the PC, log into your Gizmo5 account, under Account Overview, jog down your 1-747-.... number. and then log into your grandcentral account and under settings, setup your calls to go to this 1-747- number, your Gizmo phone number. And jog down the phone number on your right upper corner of your grandcentral log in. This is the number for people to call you from their cell/land line and your tablet will answer. You now ready to make call from your tablet! N810/Diablo/30-2 N800/Diablo/23-14,51-3 770/2008He one has to use earplugs. Dialcentral 0.8.0-9 Gizmo project 4.0.0.95 Useful links: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=14536 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJpS5doGZM http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=23357 http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...=grand+central Credits: To all the above hackers/developers made it possible, TIA. I just document here, also for my own use. I recently updated to Diablo and loss this feature, and I tried and tried for 2 days, cannot get thru setting up the SIP account right. Hope this helps someone :) Enjoy, bun |

Thanks for the how-to bun!
Unfortunately the N810 SIP client cannot login using my Gizmo credentials... maybe I'm misunderstanding something... EDIT: scratch that-- I can't even log into Gizmo's account page anymore...wtf??? arg... EDIT 2: Not sure why my Gizmo account was inactivated... but I created a new Gizmo5 account. Now I've made it much farther except for the following 2 problems: -If I try to dial out from the tablet, using the DialCentral keypad, the tablet gets an incoming call from itself. After I hang that up, THEN the actual number I called rings. Ack. -If I try dialing out directly from the SIP client, I get no answer from the other number. -If I try calling the tablet, it rings just fine, but a voice prompts me to press 1 to answer... and there is no 1 to press... :( |

The other question has something to do with your configuration on the grandcentral, play with it, then you will not calling yourself :) I am glad you like it. Correct, this is NOT a replacement for your cell, but it is a hack that I think is pretty fun and also useful at time you need to call somebody and has only wifi and tablet... you got the picture. Edit: Oh, if you are using DialCentral, it called back you hang up and answer, that is the way it is. bun |

Re: Step by step guide:use tablets like a phone...FREE
Eh, I'm not usiing Gizmo5 on the tablet, just the native SIP client.
EDIT: figured out the incoming call part. It's a PITA, but when a call comes in, you have to accept, then VERY QUICKLY click the SIP client menu bar and select Internet Call/DTMF Dialing. In my case I had to click 1 to answer. ^%%$$&^^#@!!! I see the need for a dialpad button on the app's home screen... /me scurries off to submit software request (done) |
