Sipgate?

Has anyone tried sipgate.com for free voip service? Is it any good?

It works perfectly for me for incoming calls. I don't use it for outgoing since that costs per-minute. But now when I am at home, my Google Voice number rings through to my Nexus S via my Sipgate number and I use none of my mobile minutes.

How do you have it set up? did you enter a phone number for it to ring to are or the sip settings on the phone are enough?

You set the ring-to device in the sipgate.com settings.

Using ring to device would still use your minutes unless you have free incoming I think

Nope - incoming goes right over the voip link, not forwarded to your normal like with google voice. So no minutes are used. You could even pull the SIM and this would work as long as you have wifi.

Hmm when I had ring to device set up and Google voice did the confirmation call it charged me a minute from the free 60

I think it works great. You can have completely free calls anywhere in the USA by getting an sipgate number, set google voice to forward calls to sipgate. Setup a pbxes.org account which forwards incoming calls to sipsorcery and a sipsorcery account that will automate the making the phone connection for google voice to connect the call for you any seamlessly route your call back to you sipgate number.
I'll admit it's a pain in the butt to setup, but it will allow you to make and receive calls for free over data plan or wifi.
ipkall is another site you can use to get a free DID phone number (although it must be used with something like pbxes.org)
the only part i'm not sure of, is whether sipsorcery is still excepting new accounts.
yeah, i just checked. they periodically are accepting new accounts and post them here:

Anyway, I don't really have the time to go over a step by step guide but there are many out there if people are interested.

I use Sipgate for incoming calls and sipdroid for outgoing. You just link it to your google voice account and free outgoing calls on Wifi too.

I just got this feature working.... wrote up a DETAILED "how to" on how place AND receive calls 100% FREE without having to use Sipdroid, but since I'm new here I can't post it yet. Rrrrrr...
