Skype (lite) is still banned or not available in the app market. And Skype is also evil, closed source, proprietary protocol, etc., so I wanted to use something more open. Enter: sipdroid and ekiga.net.

Steps to get VOIP working

Get a VOIP (Sip) address at ekiga.net.

  1. Install sipdroid via the Market;
  2. Start sipdroid and go to Menu->Settings;
  3. Fill out your credentials you've got from Ekiga.net;
    • server, should be ekiga.net;
    • username, the username you got on ekiga.net.

You can then make a call by entering the sip address and press 'call', for instance I'm miekg@ekiga.net.

Awesome!

This is gonna save money! :-)

I don't want to use SIP for everything, so I tweaked the settings to my Phone takes precedence over SIP.
