Android native SIP / VOIP client

If you have an Android and it runs 2.3.x then you have a native SIP / VOIP client. To set it up, in this case I'm using Pennytel, an Australian VOIP provider, start by going to settings -> call settings.

The following screenshots are from my Nexus 1, its the same on my Nexus S.


Press 'accounts'


and the 'Add account'


and then add your credentials


name and password will be your VOIP name and password, not your account password. The server is 'sip.pennytel.com'.


Press the back button and the account is saved.


When this is done select your calling options byt pressing 'Use Internet Calling' and select

    For all calls
    Only for Internet calls

    Ask for each call.

When you want to place a call you get the option you asked for.
