First of all I apologize if this already has been discussed on this forum. I have looked but couldn't find anyone discussing this issue.
I have a galaxy Nexus that is setup for pbxes/ google voice incoming / outgoing calls. When I receive a call it looks like this on screen
John [email protected]
but since this number is in my contacts list it appears as John +1 512-425-4277 on call log screen.
When I hit the number to call back nothing happens. But when I manually enter the number +1 512-425-4277 it dials fine. Seems like Pbxes can't dial back to the same number it sends with incoming call. What am i missing in the configuration so that wifi outbound calling works fine for a regular number but not for internet number. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Did you every get this fixed?
No. I am now using cell phone minutes to receive and google voice/ pbxes to make calls.

a few months ago I remember hearing something that t mobile was working on a application that would allow us to make unlimited calls at home under wifi...
I have not heard anything about this since, but are there other applications that can do this?
I have tried the goggle voice thing but I can't get it to work..
Thanks for you time guys, Tim

The google voice app doesnt let you make calls over wifi..it reroutes your number to your google one and makes the call still costing you minutes etc. But you can text for free through it. If you want to make free calls over 3g, wifi. A setup I found working for me...was sipgate, google voice call back app, and sipdroid app. You can receive free inbound/and make free outbound calls through 3g/wifi. The quality..from my experience is not too bad , but the person on other end of line might experience echoing thats about it. Also can take a bit of drain on battery. If you help setting it up let me know.
Tim here are the steps...figured it would probably help others that are curious also. This is the setup that worked for me..its somewhat of a lengthy process. To make it easier...keep open the Sipgate and google voice pages.
1)Before we start do you have a google voice account..if yes go to step 2 if not go to the google voice homepage and sign up for a free number.
2) go to sipgate.com sign up for a free account (you will have to give your cellnumber to recieve a key to confirm your new free account). You can remove your cell number from the settings page later.(You can choose to install their softphone software now or later doesn't really matter)
3) Once you recieve your free number from sipgate..(it will be a random number from california) go to the settings page copy the number sipgate given you , navigate to go google voice and add the sipgate number as the number google voice forwards to. Also make sure the number is set as a home number.
4) You will have to verify that number..with google voice..this when you will have to install the softphone software by sipgate. Have google voice call your sipgate number..and through the softphone dial paid just hit the 2 digit number given by google voice to confirm the sipgate number. (You can removed the sipgate software from your computer now)
5) The software i use to make outbound or receive calls..is sipdroid and gvoice callback which are both located in the marketplace and free. Download them both. There are other alternatives , but these are the two programs i used.
6) Once you installed both apps...open up sipdroid go to the settings-> sip account settings... now navigate back to sipgate settings page move your mouse cursor over the voip phone icon and click on credentials. Look at sipdroid now..and input the sip ID provided by sipgate as your authorization name in sipdroid ,the password, and the server is sipgate.com
7. Once you input everything.. sipdroid should register and you should see a green dot in your notification bar. Now open up Gvoice callback put your google voice account details in and put your callback number...as your sipgate number. For the callback setting you can set it as always..or ask it doesnt matter ...up to you. That should be it. ( I have mine to ask)
8. To test if you set up everything correctly turn on wifi...and put your phone into airplane mode. make a call ...there should be a prompt to make the call through gvoice callback once you make the call the sipdroid dialer will come up..and you will receive an incoming call from your sipgate number..just slide your finger up accept call and google voice will connect you to your actual call.
As for receiving calls your contacts will have to dial your google number and sipdroid has to be running to pick up the call. Once you accept the incoming call hit 1 on the dialpad and your connected with the other person on the other line.
*Another tip..to make sure you have everything setup correctly is..sipgate gives you 60 free minutes to make outbound calls..you should only use a minute or 2 confirming the number with google...if you notice your mins going down then you probably messed up somewhere.*
From my experience the call quality...is decent there is minor echoing that can be heard only by the person on the other end..but hey its free. You can also make calls of over 3g. Be sure to turn off sipdroid when you are not going to rly use it because..it can take a drain on the battery as it ..constantly registers itself. I read that you can setup pbxes..to route your inbound and outbound calls..which can help call quality and battery life as its tcp instead of udp , but it was too confusing for me to figure out.
Anways I hope this information helps...
Does anyone know how to assign a phone number to the Fascinate. My phone has no service and I am using GrooveIp to make and receive phone calls on WIFI using my Google Voice number. I am unable to install Google voice to handle texts since the Google Voice number does not show up in the phone....
You have to add a phone number from the google voice website. It could be any number, home phone, friend's phone, make sure the number you add has service cause google voice will call it with a verification number. Once you verify the number on the website make sure you disable it so that when people call you it does not forward to that phone, keep it on google chat so groove ip continues to work. Then when you go to the voice app it will list the number you verified, select it and you will have a few options based on what you want the voice app to do for calls, I usually "put do not use voice for calls" skip the voicemail part and you should be able to receive text and voicemail messages with the app. Hope this helps!
I setup SIP calling through Sipdroid and Pbxes just fine. Uninstalled Sipdroid and was able to make SIP calls over 3G/WiFi using the Android Native Dialer. Suddenly my SIP calling does not work any more. I did not change any of the settings. When making calls over 3G/WiFi the call connects but immediately hangs up. The call log shows the call as outgoing but lasting "0 minutes, 0 seconds." Anyone else having this problem? The Sipdroid app works just fine but I don't want it running all the time. Seems to be a problem with the Native Dialer perhaps? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I can make outgoing calls only if "Receive Incoming Calls" is checked. I would assume there is a way to make outgoing calls over SIP without having to accept them since I have GV forwarded to my cell number (yes I know it uses minutes but it saves on battery.)
Have you (or anyone else) had any luck making outgoing calls without having the "receive incoming calls" checked?
Does anyone else have a problem with their Google Voice not actually ringing through to their phone?
Mine's been doing this for a while. If you call my Gvoice number, it rings like it's forwarding to my phone, but never actually has an incoming call for me. Then the caller gets sent to my Gvoice voicemail.
I saw on another page that changing your number fixes it, but I'd rather not do that. A lot of people have my current number.
Any suggestion is welcome.

This happens to me about once every 3 months or so. I don't know why it comes, but it usu fixes itself within 6-12 hours.
I show no missed calls, but I do get he text notification that I received a vmail
So I have google voice set up for my voicemail. I noticed that this has not been working. I had to reset up my phone and then it stopped working again. It looks like when they phone is set to forward my calls to my watch, it disables google voice forwarding and my att voicemail program then pics up. I was wondering if any one knows how I can get this working again.
I went and removed my phone from google voice and then reactivated it but once my phone starts to forward me calls it no longer works.
Just wanted to see what other google voice users are doing.
They both use the same entry for your phone line: conditional forwarding. So, you can only have one at any time. When you setup auto-forwarding, it will change the conditional forwarding to Gear S number and when it no longer need forwarding, it resets which will be back to your network default that is your voice mail number.
I set up my gear s # as an additional phone in Google voice and had t-mobile turn off voice mail for it, that way I don't need to worry about calls forwarding.
I don't use my Google voice number as my main number so I like the forwarding set up. I wonder if I can have my voicemail number changed on my phone to my Google voice number.

Go to the google voice web site & look in settings under that number. It should say "activate voicemail" and it'll give you a code to dial on the phone. It's something like *444*YOURNUMBER*# or something like that. But the gear forwarding will always disable GV when it's enabled.

The only other thing i can think of is using the short code to set your watch to use google voicemail so your phone would forward to the watch & the watch would forward to GV if you missed it on the watch. It's just a thought but I'm waiting to use gear forwarding for that reason so lemme know if you find a setup that works.
One option is to turn off all forwarding in the watch and phone, then set up both the watch and phone normally in Google Voice.
All calls will be sent to both the phone's number and the watch's number. For whatever reason, the phone tends to ring at least 3 or 4 seconds before the watch rings, so there's no problem with multiple ringing devices. If neither the phone or watch are answered, the call will go to Google Voice voicemail.
Also, within Google Voice Settings / Phone, click "Activate Google voicemail on this phone" and dial the number string indicated. You'll have to do this twice, once through the phone, and again through the watch. An important note is that the phone needs to be disconnected from the watch when you dial the code through the watch.
The easiest method is just to put the phone into airplane mode before dialing the number from the watch.
