Making Phone Calls and texting on Coby Kyros

[booda3000]

Yea, I have to use the naive dialer for Google callback to Work also.

You have to verify the sip account through Google voice settings by adding the sip phone number into the Google voice forwarding phones options. Then, when someone calls your GV #, your sipdroid client will ring, which means Your phone will ring.

Callcentric is free.

For all that are interested I have installed Nettalk from the market on my rooted Coby Kyros MID7015, although I don't remember the Kryos having a mic built in, I have been able to actually place a call using this app. The sound quality isn't the best, and you have to both listen and talk through the little speaker slit in the back of the tablet, but hey it works! I just figured it might be something for you all to play with and maybe improve upon

I believe there is a mic, it is the small hole between the headjack and the HDMI port.

i tried it, sound is so so but it does work. I have to use an external mic to see how it does.
tnx!

Booda3000, can you tell me the steps you to did to setup your calling/texting?

[booda3000]

@AeroToxin,
On your computer:
Sign up for an account at Callcentric.com, go to IPKall.com and sign up for an account there too. (Put in your Callcentric info) IPKall will associate a phone number with your Callcentric account.
On your Coby:
Download Google Voice, Google Voice Callback and Csipsimple.
Open Csipsimple and add an account. Scroll down to Callcentric and type in the correct info.
On ur computer, go to Google voice, get a Google Voice phone number, and add the Callcentric number(The number IPKall gave you) under "Forwards Calls To:", then verify it.
On Coby, open Google voice Callback and select the callback number as the Callcentric (IPKall) number.

OF course, you can just start texting with your Google Voice app.

Hope this helps. I'll check this thread on Sunday and answer any questions.

Thanx, followed your tutorial, works great, only prob is the in call volume. Csipsimple auto adjusts my in call way to low for some reason. any idea for a fix? Also how about a different dialer since the stock android dialer is inop?

Okay... So, I tried posting this once before, but I guess my login timed out on the forum. :-(

First off, GREAT GUIDE! Thanks so much for putting this together. :-) Getting a proper IPKall number to forward my GV calls to was a bit of a hassle, but otherwise it all worked well.

Basically, almost everything works, with the exception of outgoing calls. Anytime I try to make an outgoing call, I get some error message, basically saying that the phone number I'm trying to reach is invalid or unavailable or something. When I make an outgoing call, the GVCB app does not initiate (even though it's set to 'Always (when possible). I have a feeling that this is related to not having the stock dialer.apk installed on the tablet (as I don't think it came with it).

Is there something else I'm missing or may have misconfigured, or...?

Thanks in advance!
