New York World Phone

I first found this softphone on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeWip.

BeWip is a proprietary softphone which unifies VoIP (based on SIP) and Cellular communications GSM on mobile GSM/WIFI mobile phone based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system like PDAs / Pocket PCs / smartphones.

I was happy to see it because I’m looking a good softphone for my SDA.

Then I checked it’s website www.bewip.com. To download the softphone, we have to subscribe, within 24 hours, we’ll receive an email with the password. Then we’ll be able to log in and get the download link.

It can be use for a lot of different brands of PPC’s and Smartphones. We need choose the phone and the service provider from the available list. I’ll be preset. We cannot set it for any sip service provider.

After we install it, we have to run a patch to activate the account. Then we’ll be able to use it.

Actually I don’t like it although it surprised me at the beginning when I first found it. Because 1. It’s free, but it’s evaluation version which will expire. 2. It’s complicated to get it run. Patch it, activate it, do some modification to registry etc. 3. It takes much space compared to some cute softphones I saw. 4. Actually, I didn’t manage to run it. I didn’t change anything to registry. After I installed and activated it, I tried to start it. Sometimes, It just didn’t start after a long time starting, sometimes, it simply gave me an error messsage.

So I don’t have any result from it. But anyway, good to know it. It may help some poeple.

1. Call accountnumber@vsp.com
2. If one vsp is peering with the other, we can call the access code of the 2nd vsp and the account number.

For example: With voipuser.org, we can call FWD by dialing *393FWDNumber.

3. If one vsp does not directly peer with the other one, they may peer with SIP Broker. Anyone that peers with SIP Broker can call a user with 2nd vsp by dialing the SIP Code of the 2nd and the user’s account number.

For example, with FWD, we can call voipuser account by dialing **275*431VoipuserNumber.

275is the sip code of sipbroker.com. 431 is the sip code of voipuser.org on SipBroker.

4. One can also call another sip user with a traditional pstn phone by calling the SipBroker PSTN Access number first if available. At the voice prompt, dial sip code and account number.

If one wants to set up a sip phone, check http://faq.sipbroker.com.

Other Information

1. I am using SDA, I actually installed skype(for ppc .cab) and ESCSoftPhone_Demo(IAX). I can install speaQ softphone, but there’s no touch screen with SDA, I can’t switch between the tabs or dial numbers. So I can’t use it. I can install amsip-ppc, but it takes .NET. So I give it up. I can’t install any other softphones, like any version of SJPhone or Xlite/Xten. I use Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 from PC to backup and restore contacts or other pim from another SIM card.

   1) go to sjlabs.com and download the PC version
   2) Edit the SIP PC to PC profile and put in your account details for your sip provider.
   3) Make a test call - YES from your PC, to be 100% sure you settings are correct
   4) Extract the files in the zip to your phone. You should have the exe, dll and skin file in any directory you want to put it in, and the profiles (.ini files) in sub directory Profiles. For example:
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\Default.skn
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\SJphone.exe
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\SJphoneSetup.dll

   \Storage Card\SjPhone\Profiles\H.323 direct.ini
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\Profiles\SIP direct.ini

   NOTE to mods: The cab file is freely available at http://www.sjlabs.com/preview/ce/ (a link from their download page). I’ve extracted the files from it using WinCE manager and put them here. If thats not ok, then just delete the atachment and everyone can just do that step themselves!

   5) copy the .ini file from your PC (c:\program files\sjlabs\sjphone\profiles i think) to the profiles directory on your phone.
   6) launch sjphone on your phone
   7) Hit left soft key and scroll to services. Select PC to PC (sip).

   You may have to hit the left soft key and shutdown, then restart sjphone
   Once its started, you can scroll to the dial box, and dial the number (hold * to change to numbers first), then scroll down to dial. Unfortunately you can’t delete a digit you enter so its tricky!

   Here’s an export of the reg keys from the cab file:

   REGEDIT4

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Afd]
   “DgramBuffer”=dword:00000008

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\URLProtocols\callto]

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\DefaultIcon]

   65,2c,31,00,00

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto]
   “URL Protocol”=””

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\Shell\open\command]
   @=”%InstallDir%\\SJphone.exe /callto %1″

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone]

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone]
   “key1″=”GQVV0-3OUI3-APJB4-TKEJ1-A1EGG”
   “key2″=”GQVV0-3OUI3-APJB4-TKEJ1-A1EGG”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\General]
   “AddressBook”=”\\%CE5%\\SJphone.xml”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Call Logs]
   “CallLogFileName”=”\\%CE5%\\SJphone.clm”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Skin]
   “SkinDllFileName”=”%InstallDir%\\Default.skn”
   “UseSkin”=dword:00000001

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Profiles]
   “ProfilesDir”=”%InstallDir%\\Profiles”
   “PersonalDataDir”=”%InstallDir%\\Profiles”
   “ActiveProfile”=”C0DFB9E1-79A0-4749-844F-18EC3DE3629D”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\RTP]
   “RTPService”=dword:00000032

   You don’t need ANY of them to get it to work, but you may want to try to get the skin working by adding this one:

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Skin]
   “SkinDllFileName”=”%InstallDir%\\Default.skn”
   “UseSkin”=dword:00000001

   Of course replace %InstallDir% with where you install sjphone

   Oh and here’s a list of the identifiers in case you’re wondering what they mean:

   CE1 \Program Files
   CE2 \Windows
   CE4 \Windows Startup
   CE5 \My Documents
   CE11 \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
   CE12 \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories
   CE14 \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
   CE15 \Windows\Fonts
   CE17 \Windows\Start Menu

This is a pretty good post from voxalot about free DID numbers, free voip calls etc etc.

Post Link

If you want extensions with multiple accounts from one or different sip providers, and you don’t want to spend extra money, pbxes could be a solution. Besides pbxes, mysipswitch.com is another option.

Here is a good post talking about how to use for nokia e61. But basically, it’s the same for sip softphone on computers or sip devices.

Jabber is best known as “the Linux of instant messaging” — an open, secure, ad-free alternative to consumer IM services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo (see the IM quickstart). Under the hood, Jabber is a set of streaming XML protocols and technologies that enable any two entities on the Internet to exchange messages, presence, and other structured information in close to real time. — jabber.org

I just started trying jabbers and am loving it now. If you are like IM like MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, GoogleTalk etc etc, I believe you’ll like jabber.

Talkonaut, OctroTalk, IM+ etc basicall are jabber clients which are running on mobile, so we can use it for most of the popular IM services.

With Transport service, we can communicate between different IM services like googletalk, msn, yahoo, aim and other jabber services. There’s even SMS transport service. It’s great because we love one-for-everything.

Transport Servers:

• jabber.no
• jaim.at
• jabbernet.dk
• bgmn.net
• freelinq.com

For mobiles, octro, gtalk2voip/talkonaut can do this job.

Here is a post or here(for Chinese) telling you how to make do transport with psi. But I don’t know why when I try it, it says “service is unaviable”.

WebBlog, PodCast, Twitter … I believe jabber will be The next hot spot.

Some popular clients for windows are like Exodus, Psi, Spark etc with most functions.

JBother is a Java client which has almost all functions. It’s good if you have firewall problems.

Right now, most of the jabber clients only have IM function, no audio yet. OctroTalk on mobile is good for audio. People are developing audio function now.

If you like Gtalk2Voip, then you can even use jabber for VoIM, even with sip. Jabber will be truely for everything. I believe that’s the future.

You can find a lot more information at jabber.org.

I love Jabber service, and will be expecting whatever new coming.

Life is getting more and more beautiful. We don’t use skype as something like vonage because we have to use computer. We’ll have something nice, something that could make things much better, like Sony Mylo. It is probably just one of many similar devices coming out on the market. It uses your local wireless networks / hot spots, Skype for phone calls, a mini-browser, and Yahoo for chat (no AIM).

Actually, today people can already use PDA/PPC/SmartPhone to use skype, msn, aim, etc with WiFi. But do they really use it a lot at home? I dont think so. Why? It’s not as convenient as a home phone or a computer. If we have some phone adapter or other dedicated device for skype etc, and it’s cheap, $30 a year, will we use it? Why not?

I believe in the near future the voip phone monthly fee in the market would be again halved.
