Save money on your voice plan with a simple free BlackBerry app

haristo — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:22:06 +0000

Some carriers are really harsh when it comes to voice plans and will bill you an extra minute for going even a second over 60. With Fabian’s latest free app, you get a short vibration after every 55 seconds into each outgoing call so that you know when a new minute will start.

By using this app, you’ll know that you aren’t being charged for extra minutes. It’s an easy way to save on your voice plan.

Download MinuteSaver for free for your BlackBerry.

How-To: Sipdroid for Android

haristo — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:38:50 +0000

Sipdroid allows you to use Android phone with almost any SIP provider. The calls are crystal clear even over a 3G network, likewise for a WLAN connection. The best part about Sipdroid is that it integrates into your phone. You simply use your contacts apps just as if you were making a call over a cellular network. It’s really an amazing app.

There are a tonne of SIP providers out there. http://acanac.ca gives you a telephone number and unlimited North American calling for only $10/ month. I myself use http://smsdiscount.com (click on download, then Linux, and then register (this way you don’t install anything)) to make calls, as it’s less than a penny per minute to make a long distance call; I don’t use my phone enough to justify the unlimited plan.

The only catch with Sipdroid is that you have to use http://pbxes.org to tunnel your VOIP calls. The service is free, but the set-up is a bit tricky. In the instructions below I’ll use smsdiscount.com as an example to help you get things going.

1) create a smsdiscount.com account (pay first before calling or most of the payment options will disappear)

2) set-up pbxes.org

3) add a new extension, only add your name, extension (100) and password

4) add a trunk, just enter a trunk name, your calleasy username, password and server (sip.poivy.com)

5) add an outbound route, just enter a route name, select your trunk and enter your extension

6) download sipdroid – http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/downloads/list (the Market version doesn’t have 3G SIP calling enabled)

7) in sipdroid enter your pbxes.org login name with your extension as your username (e.g. – example-100)

in sipdroid enter your pbxes.org password

9) in sipdroid enter pbxes.org as the server

10) enable WLAN or 3G calling in settings
