Add phone capabilities to your tablet (UPDATED 7-2-14 This Method Still Works!)

He probably has the native wifi hot spot or the 3g hosting plan through verizon which the droid 1 can't do but when you get your tablet you might be able to hack it to see ad hoc which is what wireless tether broadcast in but PDA net won't work

I have added some updates and edited some parts, Major update coming soon! I am surprised this hasn't got more attention. Judging off the threads in the forum a lot of people would like to have free calls and texts.

I rooted a couple of phones years ago. I also hacked at least 3 DVD players to make them playable with DVDs from different regions (countries) all over the word. I also hacked my Samsung DLP widescreen TV when they first came out many years ago. But after reading your procedure, it got my feet cold. It's so complicated and lengthy process. Maybe I'm too old for this game? Anyway, with no disrespect, I think that's the main reason why not too many people want to jump on this this.

Yeah its pretty lengthy but it is super easy and I just thought more people would like free incoming and out going calls

I don't think it's too difficult for the most part. Personally I'm stuck on like step 5... I cannot get my router to open the ports needed! Well it is ok for like TCP but doesn't open for the UPD.... I've gone to portforward for info but tried all it suggested w/no luck. I keep getting that error msg that a symmetric NAT or router has been detected etc etc... and that manual configuration of the RTP/UDP needs done. I'm running a netgear wgt624 router but it doesn't seem to like it. Everything else has been pretty straight forward though.

 

[probbiethe1]

what exactly is your issue? is google voice not calling your express talk? or just what exactly?

 

[dnjpowell]

Well express talk attempts to call but nothing comes through. Portforward was saying ports were not open yet I went through router settings and they should be. I went to router settings and listed port numbers yet no call comes through. Each time I run the wizard in express talk I keep getting the same error msg about the NAT or router being detected and that audio cannot be routed automatically. It advises manual setup of RTP/UDP redirection.

thats a bummer but if you have a android phone you can use that to set it up check out step 2 in http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-phone-capabilities-your-tablet-original.html that might help or you might just need to find another sip phone program for your computer

 

[dnjpowell]

No, don't have a smartphone so may try another SIP - I just thought would be neat to set up & it really hasn't been difficult just this router issue has been a pain. It is an awesome idea & ability though! Thank you for figuring a way to do something like that. I haven't given up totally!

Needn't too much works. IP communication can be opened directly on 3G module. as topic,needn't cost any penny by internet or WIFI or 3G data...

 

[dnjpowell]

Great work, my compliments. of course I need to make free internet connection via LAN or wifi? Instead, let me know if you can use our Haipad M701 as a real but read gsm sim GSM?

Gizmo5 is on hold at the moment (no new users) and Sipgate is limiting new users. Bottom line is getting this setup and working now is very difficult due to the unavaiblity of the SIP client account.
