SJphone and Axim51v

aido · 11-27-05, 09:11 PM

This is great! I just installed free SJphone software to my 51v and it worked great. I can make and receive phone call from my 51v through Callpacket voip. :) I believe this software supports vonage, freeworlddialup, and many others voip companies.
Try it!

hm....I believe with voip as long as you have a wifi connection you can make a call anywhere in the US for free. If I were you, I'd ditch my cell phone and get wireless internet on my axim so as to use the voip service anywhere!

Do I smell the death of overpriced cell phones????? :ax:

I've been using it too with viatalk. Works great and I can't believe how good the call quality is, even with a poor wifi connection.

Could any of you guys post a quick tutorial on how to do this. I've never used voip before and would be interested to learn how to set up my Axim to do this. I think a lot of people would be interested in the nuts and bolts of this set up, ie: hardware required (Do I just need my Axim and wireless network), Software required, and any subscription service needed ( especially free ones). Thanks

You don't need any other hardwares beside your axim and wireless network. Maybe it's cool if we have a bluetooth headset.

You need to install SJphone software from http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html
I used SJphone for PPC2003SE (.exe), build 303c, Oct 26, 2005
but as you can see on their website, you can download the preconfiguration for Vonage, Freeworlddialup.

You need a VOIP service.
-Freeworlddialup (www.freeworlddialup.com) is free but you can call people in their network (like Skype, MSN, Yahoo) and some other VOIP network as you can see here http://www.freeworlddialup.com/learn...eature=peering
-Callpacket (www.callpacket.com) have many different plans (the cheapest is $0.95/month-used to be free)and very simple to setup.
proxy domain: voip.callpacket.com
user domain: voip.callpacket.com
server address: voip.callpacket.com
username: cp******* (as assigned by callpacket)
password: ******* (as assigned by callpacket)
-Vonage (www.vonage.com). I did not try this, so I have no experiences.

Anyone knows how to setup with other VOIP companies such as Packet8, Sunrocket, Lingo...please post! Thanks

Would be a better program if it supported landscape view :/

Some great information here I may have to give this a try. =)

Im on it like Stink on S***. Thanks!

I believe sprint offers nationwide wifi for $60/mo. As soon as that drops down this will become very hot b/c you'll be able to go anywhere w/your phone.

I'm really happy w/ viatalk (if anyone wants to try them I have viavites worth something like $25 off signing up). They had a massive outage this weekend due to a DOS attack but oddly enough even though my home phone was down I could dial out over my x51v.

I pay ~$14 a month for 500 minutes a month to anywhere in the US (there is unlimited for $19).

The quality is amazing and I was totally blown away when I tried it for the first time. I emailed vitalk tech support and they sent me all the settings I needed for a softphone. It was not sjphone specific but was really easy to setup.

What I think I so cool about it is as long as I have wifi, no matter where I am in the world my x51v will ring when my home phone gets a call. Even if I'm in japan (not that I've been there...) people could call me like a local call to my home. Pretty cool!!!

I did look at viatalk website. Do you have to pay extra fee for softphone access feature? Like Vonage, they charge $5/month for 500 min. I tried to call their customer service but it's not available

I really wonder about how good of their services. :exc:
Thanks

They were the subject of a major denial of service attack last week. It pretty much crippled them for nearly 3 days (I just read that another attack took down godaddy.com also... ouch). I guess they took phone customer service down and placed everyone on tasks to get things right. Email customer service is working though. I've gotten some answers in less than a day (but usually in a few hours). People are kind of jumpy with them right now due to the service being down but I'm willing to give them a chance...

No charge for softphone features....

I've tried this so many times, every month for like 8 months i would call my cable company (which is my VOIP provider) and be like "Sooooooo can I use a softphone with your network yet?". They're always like no, we're "thinking" about making that option available but currently do not support softphone apps.

Lost Dog · 12-03-05, 11:24 AM

If you are willing to go for trial and error, you may be able to figure out the settings to get it to work. If you have access, take a look at the settings in our VOIP adapter and you may be able to figure out the settings for the softphone.

aido · 12-04-05, 12:18 PM

Does anyone know any VOIP company offer best deal at this time? It must support softphone on Axim 51v.

Thanks
