I solved it with one simple command in my Cisco router: Who would imagine that Android OS, made to run on phone, doesn't provide a way to wake up a phone application. in v2.2 Android there is no API to wake up registered SIP phone application when SIP request arrives via the network. And I guess it's not its fault, but rather it's a result of overall Android design (or rather lack of good one). Later phone may wake up and start ringing, but what's the point to ring in a couple of minutes of actual call, right? In some versions of Android it may run, in others CSipSimple may just suddenly crash time to time (as in my case). There are other (but free) good codecs, that support reduced bandwidth well, including GSM, SILK, ILBC, etc.ĭepending on hardware, Android OS and version of its kernel, it may work or it may refuse to get calls at the time they arrive because the phone is in sleep state. If your phone doesn't support it - no big deal. If it's not, you may still use CSS as a good test phone - it's very flexible in its configuration. You may try CSS with your particular phone and see if it's 'hit' in your case. Depending on hardware, Android OS and version of its kernel, it may work or it may refuse to get calls at the time they arrive because the phone is in sleep state. From my experience, it could be a hit or a miss in terms of reliability. I think I'm going to get a Worldsim sim card which would get me a UK number, a lot cheaper to text that number and call as well than an Estonian number with the others international sims.I used to suggest CSipSimple here, but not now. Canada stinks for their telecom offerings. Thanks for your suggestions, these seem to be the best options available. With the 7/11 speakout, I'd be done the 100mb in 50 minutes ($10 to talk only 50 minutes!) If it worked internationally, then maybe. A 5 minute call runs me about 10mb, so this would be around 5000 minutes for $100, plus I'm not sure how much would be used having it on all the time on standby. You should look though the first post for international SIMs. TMobile prepaid and AT&T prepaid has the same calling rates in Canada as the US but it only works in North America. Tbaytel has a data sim that you only have to renew once per year, An international *data sim with good rates in Canada with a **phone number would be more preferred if possible! Works flawlessly with my other SIP number so I'm going to port it over in a few weeks after I quit my job.Ĭan you recommend a good pay as you go *data sim for Canada that would have a balance available for at least 6 months (1 year preferred) with good rates? I am not looking to pay every month, I just want a simple balance. Now, I'm considering just getting a data sim which I don't have to top up every month while I'm in Canada. 0052 cents/minute for my outgoings (Canada) and incomings. Hey! Right before I read your post I decided to port to voip.ms, I have 2 other numbers on there, these guys are awesome! So I decided to use a softphone app called ZoiPer (for outgoing and incoming calls) plus the Voip.ms SMS app (texting.) Porting my number is free, I pay 85 cents a month plus. Look for the VOIP.ms thread in this forum. You want a VoIP service plus an international Sim. It's not possible to port a Canadian number need to an international Sim.
