Download
The last version can be found here. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5184604&postcount=771)
A final version, as well as screenshots, will be available soon.
Instructions
After installing. Start the application and run the Updater. After that, go to menu -> options -> Accounts to create a new account.
Choose the desired provider and fill in the necessary information.
Now you're ready to use VoipSMS!
SmartPhone
The original SmartPhone version is still available. It will not be updated anymore. I'll give limited support in this thread.
The SmartPhone version can be found under Attachments.
Cool...I'm in a similar GF situation...I assume this will work with just about any VOIP provider as long as I know their link? I am using VoipStunt.com...
I didn't know about VoipStunt. But it seems to be another VOipBuster clone So it works.
Use this url: https://myaccount.voipstunt.com/clx/sendsms.php
Awesome...Thanks...Ya, VOIPStunt has some better rates for SMS to the places I need to send them...Been using them for about 2 months now, and its a great service. Much better than Skype.
It's funny to see the differences in prices between VoipBuster, VoipRaider and VoipStunt.
The application is exactly the same (except the looks) as well as the site... but the prices are different.
I'm see one bug in this software, when I'm trying to send sms for example to free destination 001112223344, but voipsms deleting zeros and sending messages to 1112223344, then I receive - insufficient funds on my account or didn't send any messages if account funded. Another one with the same zeros, when I'm trying to send sms to 111002223344 (111000223344 any numbers with double and more zeros) it sends to 1112223344 so number is wrong.
Can it be fixed?
Thank you.
Ah I see.
Bug 1: Only leading zero's should be removed. This is because of the format that VoipBuster expects. The format should be: [countrycode without the 00 or + sign][areacode without leading zero][number]
So for holland it should be +31 0123 456789
This number must be formatted to: 31_123_456789 (without the underscores)
Bug 2: 00110022003344 is changed into 11223344. This is wrong. It must be 110022003344.
I'll try to fix these bugs tonight. Thank you very much for testing and posting!
The bug with the incorrect formatting of the phonenumber is solved in the new version (1.1)
The other issue about the insufficient funds is not a bug. It's the result which the application receives after sending the message.
Great software.
However, I am still facing the same problem which I face with other VoIP SMS Software and that is my phone number is not sent so the user does not know what I am the one sending the text message (unless I tell them).
Am using VoipStunt which the URL you provided.
That is something which can only be set with the Windows Application. There you can verify your number and set your 'caller id'.
As far as I know.
If not, please let me know.
I have verified my numbers and I can even select those numbers when I use the Windows application.
I am currently located in the US so the country code is +1. I entered 11234567890 (where 1234567890) is my number and +11234567890 but in both instances, the ID that the recipient received was some other number (which is not even in my address book).
When I used other VoIP SMS software, the recipient would see my username when I sent an SMS using such software but now with your software, it sends something else altogether.
Do let me know if you need more information on my part.

I'll try to search things out how to arrange this. It would be a very welcome feature.
I'll keep you informed. For now I don't need any additional information though I don't have any idea how to do this.
Hi Rapsody! Thank's for your great application. I would like to ask you something. I have tried to use voipsms to send messages via voipraider. Messages sent to Greece are free via voipraider. I can send messages to Greece normally using the pc application and the html link. When I try to send a message from voipsms I get the message that says that I don't have enough credit to send a message. I don't need to have credits because messages to Greece are free and I can send a message from the pc application. Why is this happening? Thank's again

That's something I discovered as well.
The application sends a message using the HTML link of Voipbuster/VoipRaider. The result of that call is an XML file. The content of the XML contains that exact error message. So basically the error that you have insufficient funds are coming directly from the server.
I have the feeling (and I also saw other people talking about it at the forum of VoipBuster) that the nr of free messages is limited.
That's weird because after many unsuccessful attempts with voipsms I can send sms normally via the pc application. So the problem is not the limit (even if there is a limit). I will buy credits and test it again. Thank's anyway

Ok thanks for your information. I'll try to find some more information about it. Unfortunately there is not a lot of information available on the internet.
On this forum there's another tool which enables you to send messages using VoipBuster/Raider. Could you try if that application has the same 'issues'? It has more features and support for more Voip Applications.

You mean ipsms by skandler? I have already tried this application. In this application I get the error code "invalid username" when I try to send sms via voipraider. I am sure that the username is correct so I can't send messages from there either. In general with voipraider weird things happen with all the applications that I have tried.
That's weird because it's just a VoipBuster 'clone'
I've dropped a question at Skandler's thread. Hopefully he can tell me a little bit more.
Sipgate
Hi folks,
Are there any plan to make VoipSMS compatible with Sipgate. I've got an account with them and I'd rather avoid registering with multiple providers.
Their API is already out but I cannot make it work.
Cheers

doesn't work
I have installed VoipSMS1.1, but it doesn't do anything (the program doesn't start). Do I need the .NET Compact Framework for it? My PDA is an IPAQ 6300.
Thank you.
Hey guys,
omni here with what should be a relatively easy question/fix...
There may be a post on this already, but I searched around for a good 10 minutes, and at least I know I'm in the right section (not spamming dev)
I have Yahoo! Mail liked through my MotoBlur Accounts so that it will show emails in my Universal Inbox (standard Messaging app). It works intermittently, and what is really strange is that when it ISN'T working (when it has the orange error/caution symbol over the syncing icon), the stored password under Accounts is randomly modified to a 20-ish character string (my password is much fewer characters). I can go back and change the password while its in the mood not to work, but it never seems to sync. Then I forget about it and it randomly connects later. As you can imagine, this gets quite annoying... I'm running GreyBlur 1.0 and SteelBlue 1.15 (compatible; the problem was happening long before layering this theme). I do move around campus alot, which switches to new wifi networks or to 3.5G.
So to sum up the question: how can I stop MotoBlur's Accounts/Yahoo! Mail from changing my password and losing connectivity (not sure which comes first/causes the other)?
Great thanks to this community's wonderful attitude and android wizardy!

Issue Summary
In order to improve security, Yahoo recently disabled non-secure (non-SSL) connections to their IMAP e-mail servers. As a result, customers with devices running the Android operating system may encounter errors when attempting to setup or access their Yahoo e-mail account via the device's native e-mail client.
Customers attempting to setup a Yahoo e-mail account for the first time will receive an authentication failed or similar error when using the automatic setup method (only e-mail address & password are entered).
Customers who previously setup a Yahoo e-mail account may receive an error or be unable to retrieve new e-mail messages.
Critical Must Know/Must Do
New users (or existing user attempting to add a new Yahoo/AT&T account): use the Manual Set up option to enter the required server settings.
Existing users: If their Yahoo/AT&T account stops syncing, direct them to Edit the account settings and enable SSL.
Server/Protocol - IMAP
IMAP/Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type - SSL (or "secure connection" option)
Incoming Port - 993
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type - SSL (or "secure connection" option)
Outgoing Port - 465

folks, hope some of you can help with resolution/ideas for a few probs i am facing currently; btw, i got my TP recently and was very pleasantly surprised with how good the OS is....now only if some of the nagging issues below can be fixed, it will be great...
1. Calendar: updates made on Outlook calendar in Touchpad do not appear on OWA; only emails sent from TP appear in OWA; even draft mails saved on TP do not appear on OWA (my firm has MS-Exchange server 2007)
2. Email: HTML emails in Yahoo! are rendered correctly, however HTML emails in the corporate Exchange mail are rendered as text mails (my firm has MS-Exchange server 2007)
3. Maps: shows my current location as somewhere in the Atlantic ocean (i live in South America; my research suggests that the MAC address of my router may not have been resolved by the location servers, so they are probably pointing me to some default location
4. Adhoc networks: does not connect to adhoc networks created, say, from a laptop connected to the Internet through LAN
5. Sound: after using phone/skype app, sound disappeared; rebooting fixed this I need to test this scenario again to try to recreate the issue, but if any of you have faced similar issues, it will be great to hear how you were able to fix it..
6. Apps: does anyone know if any of the google apps can be used on the TP?
Are you using WebOS or Android?
webOS 3.0.4 (with preware, and the recommended patches, overclocked to 1512-ondemand)
I would suggest trying the webos roundup forum for answers to your questions. Many of the webos developers are members of that forum. I do not use exchange myself but have seen these discussions held on the webos roundup forum and the level of knowledge there is very high. Give it a try. I hope to see you there.

Hi everyone,
I thought of making a thread for all Email issues with ICS on any phone. As there are lots of people out there posting a single comment on certain threads, I thought it would be nice to have a collective post where someone can look at fixing some or share knowledge. Mods if you think this area isn't appropriate please move this thread.
Email Issues with ICS
Issue 1: Google App Server Emails (Personal Domain Emails powered by Gmail) using Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 which is very similar to Android Stock Email App. Its apparent that this doesn’t work in Stock ICS on Galaxy Nexus S.
Symptom: After finishing the process of adding accounts, the Inbox keeps loading but not loads.
Reason: Google or Android has changed a key protocol within the implementation of Active sync (exchange) in ICS where redirecting of m.google.com or m.hotmail.com doesn’t work anymore.
Fix: Apparently fixed in 4.0.4 but no claims yet.
Issue 2: Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 drains battery.
Symptom: Battery only lasts 7-8 hours.
Reason: Google Sync isn’t supported by Android on any other app except Gmail app on Android Platform. Your server also requires a maximum calendar lookback and maximum email
lookback,
Fix: Clear the data from the app and cache, delete all accounts and re add them again. or change the exchange policies.
Issue 3: Corporate Emails won’t sync with Stock Email app (Galaxy S2 or Nexus)
Symptom: Connection Error, Couldn’t download all emails. wont send outgoing mail etc
Reason: Policy not supported, PIN authentication doesn’t exist in ICS, One of the features that's lacking from ICS, is S/MIME.
Fix: Change the Exchange server settings or wait for Android and or Samsung to fix the app and Active sync implementation in ICS. Encrypt your sd card (internal and or external)
Bottom Line: Google doesn’t support all the exchange policies and protocols hence suit yourself. As there are more than 4 dozen policies, they only support the most commonly used. Samsung has rubbished the already buggy Stock Email App from AOSP by adding their own rubbish.
So, we are left with a few choices here:
Change back to Gingerbread where everything use to work.
Change your exchange server policies (Corporate accounts)
Wait until Android fixes redirecting protocol for m.google.com or m.hotmail.com services
Wait until Samsung fixes stock email app
Wait until Google fixes stock email app (wont help samsung guys)
Wait until Android implements correct protocols and policies in ICS and Samsung follows up.
Really pathetic to see this happening and where google passes buck to others for their apps, I thought the whole idea of Open Source was to share and learn. Unlike Linux where its usually fixed quickly and across the board.
I have 2 android tablets side by side with identical default email settings, and my new tablet isn't retrieving email.
I'm using the default email client that comes with Android. My email has worked fine on My Asus Tf300T for the pas 18 months. It's currently running 4.2.1.
My new Asus Tf701t is not working properly. It came out of the box with 4.2.2 loaded. I have my settings correct in regards to Pop and SMTP. I can even send email fine. But it's not retrieving emails period. I'ver verified that I'm connecting. When I type a incorrect pop3 server, I appropriately get a error indicating that it's unable to connect. When I type the correct pop3 server, it connects. It even acts like it loading emails up, but nothing is coming down into my email box. I've read around and seen others having this issue as well, but have yet to find a fix.
Is this a BUG with 4.2.2? I find it really hard to believe that a updates Android version would be released with something as common as email not working.
I suppose for now I'll load up a 3rd party email program until this is resolved, or until I find a resolution locally.
I'm open to any thoughts or ideas on potential fixes.
Thanks All,
Brannon
