and by how I mean without having to call Sprint back up and getting a new number and 2 year agreement

they say u can call sprint & get a new number without a new 2 years by saying it was a mistake or whatever, reactivate it, and unfortunately they wont be able to restore your number so they'll give u a new one. well that was to have the etf refunded, not sure about if ur out of contract

The problem if you didn't sign up to SIP Sorcery yet, they are no longer accepting new accounts.

Same with Gizmo5, which I would prefer over this. Looks like you can get em on eBay for $8.99.

SIP Sorcery accounts are also available on eBay, albeit for more. Bidding on an Auction style listing will save you at least a few dollars.

The problem is that with just Gizmo5 you cant do outbound sip w/o a callback. You need SIP Sorcery to do that.

I wasn't suggesting Gizmo5 as an alternative, just saying what I said.

An alternative to gizmo5 is SipGate which I believe is still free... you would still need sipsorcery if you want to place outbound calls..

Best thing about sipsorcery is having multiple GV numbers on one phone

G5 is awesome. At $8.99 it's a steal!
Grab this now guys if you don't have it and want to make easy calls for free when outside the US.

When bundled with GV, or even on its own?

ceejay · « **Reply #32 on:** January 23, 2011, 01:59:59 AM »

With GV.

BTW I found this app called Talkatone that allows you to make outgoing Google Voice calls from any iOS device. I wonder if this would work in Israel.
