The combination of a Nexus One <-> SIPDroid <-> PBXes.org <-> SipSorcery <-> Gizmo5 <-> Google Voice is a complex one but pretty damn amazing. As long as I have a half decent wifi or 3g (or sometimes GPRS) connection, I can make and receive calls for free to and from the US wherever I'm at, worldwide. Pretty sweet.

You could cut out the middle pieces and use Guava: http://gizmo5.com/guava.html?loc=guava http://gizmo5.com/guava.html?loc=guava

  Guava looks cool, but seems to () cost you outgoing call fees in Gizmo5. SipSorcery allows you to configure the routings back through Google Voice so your outbound is free in the domestic US as well as inbound. http://androinica.com/2009/07/24/android-google-voice-guava-sim-free-calling-options/ http://androinica.com/2009/07/24/android-google-voice-guava-...

    I read that Guava is a fork or a simple copy of Sipdroid, which probably explains why Gizmo was ashamed to market it.

Do you know of a good guide for setting up all of this? I see Gizmo5 is not accepting new customers, but perhaps there is some other free SIP provider that will let me cut my land line.

  This was the best guide I found. It's a bit verbose but covers all the key parts you need. http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Ae8glDUXDsh9ZGR2eG43cjRfMzNkOTM4ZjNjeA&hl=en http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Ae8glDUXDsh9ZGR2eG43cjRfMz... There are definitely alternates to Gizmo5 as well, but none integrate with Google Voice now unfortunately. You can find some very cheap however.

What are PBXes and SipSocery for? A SIP client can talk to Gizmo directly, the catch is a 3 minute limit on call out. But initiating the call from GV, where it calls into your Gizmo # then connects to the other number, works like a charm.
