Skype Lite vs Sipdroid vs Fring

[kodiak799]

After finding this link, I was able to set-up free VOIP over wifi/3g with google voice, sipsorcery, sipgate and sipdroid (note: the former 3 are web services, buy a gv account on Ebay for $2, sipgate and sipdroid are free accts to register).

I noticed a few holes in their doc, namely you place calls thru GV (web, not from your Droid!) to your sipgate number, and you'll also need to add your Droid sip credentials to sipsorcery to get calls route to it. I would not recommend abandoning an existing Skype count or other provider as I'm sure a link in this chain eventually breaks (via no longer offering the free service that enables it).

Unlimited Free Calling with Google Voice - Google Docs

As an FYI, my calls over VOIP are crystal clear (but you will need to tweak volume settings in sipdroid), in fact better clarity than over Verizon service from my house.

Verizon Droid with Nimbuzz in Europe?

Has anyone used Nimbuzz on a Verizon Droid in Europe?

I'm in the US and haven't tried it in Europe, but after Skype and Fring had their fiasco I've set up Nimbuz as my over WiFi-Skype-alternative.

I only recently got it and haven't tested it with real people, but it worked fine calling Echo/Sound Test Service, both over 3G and over WiFi.
