I select "Call with Google Voice" and then hear a recording:
"The number you have called cannot be completed as dialed. Please try your call again later."
The call then terminates. (I thought I'd try to get outgoing working before I worried about incoming calls...)
Any idea what the problem could be?
[edit] I saw a thread somewhere that said your pbxes password had to be the same as your Google Voice password? I can't seem to change the pbxes password. I go to Setup/Personal Data, and put the new password in twice--hit "submit & start", logout, but then I can't log back in with the new password... it seems to revert to the old one.
[2nd edit] I deleted my account at pbxes, uninstalled and reinstalled sipdroid, and when I try to recreate an account, it says "Trunk is already in use by [me]." [facepalm] How can I delete that trunk, when the account doesn't exist?!
[3rd edit] Now I'm *really* confused: I was just able to make an outgoing call--without a working sipdroid/pbxes.org account--using just Google Voice! I don't understand how making a call like I did just now (via Google Voice) differs from making a call via Google Voice and sipdroid/pbxes.org...and why, therefore, I'd need a working pbxes/sipdroid? Can anyone 'splain?

The thing you need to realize is Google Voice has many uses on your phone. When you make an outgoing call with the regular dialer, you are making a call using Google Voice. This is a regular call over the cell network (NOT WIFI) but it just uses your Google Voice number. This should work fine without SIPDroid or PBXes set up, as long as you have GV set up properly. Now this thread is about using SIPDroid, in combination with PBXes and GV to make wifi calls. You will typically make these calls through the SIPDroid app, not the regular dialer. (There are certain ways you can set it up where you can use the regular dialer - for example by using another app called "Google Voice Callback", but we will ignore this for now to avoid further confusion). So to recap, the PBXes and SIPDroid is not necessary to use Google Voice, but it IS necessary to use Google Voice making a call over Wifi. I suspect what you did was a regular voice call using Google Voice. As for your problems about "Truck is already in use", I am not quite sure... I hope this has explained a few of your questions, at least a little bit. For future reference, if you are trying to get the Wifi calls working you will be best to use the SIPDroid dialer. If you use the stock dialer it will probably be a voice call. If you still do not understand let me know..
