Anyone on the list using and Android tablet with a voip service as their primary phone device? Either with wired or Bluetooth headset?

What are you using hardware/software.

What are your thoughts?


I use linphone.

Config :
- incoming ivr etc to get to extension
- incoming call rings sip extensions for me including android if it happens to be registered.
- if no answer call goes back out pstn to cell number (no voicemail on cell)
- if no answer on cell, asterisk gives up and goes to its own voicemail

issues :
- linphone is the only sip client I found that actually reliably worked and was able to register, pass audio, dial and so on. (its not the most glitzy client though) - linphone can be set to only register on wifi - this is fine but it stupidly still advertises its intent to handle calls when its not registered, so when you dial generically you get a popup asking whether to use dialer or linphone to place the call (that's just bad programming). - due to the way sip works and the speed things happen, the phone can still be ringing the sip call when the cell call comes in and there is a moment when its hard to answer the right thing since both are ringing but the first caller is already gone.

overall works adequately, I am able to use it like a sip cordless phone when around wifi, and transparently as a cell when not. the fact its a 2 stage ring to the same device when in wifi range makes it more confusing than if both had separate numbers completely.


I also have an apad wall mounted running linphone among other stuff, and it functions well as my doorphone - linphone rings and pops to the foreground when a door call comes in. its also running on wifi but its sort of a fixed application, not what I would really consider a phone.





Cheers,

Dean
