I then used the SIPDroid app on the phone to create a new account--and I put my Google Voice password in the 'password' and 'confirm password' fields. That set up a new pbxes account with the Google Voice password as both the ACCOUNT password AND trunk password.
If I understand you correctly, I can change the pbxes account password to something different--but the trunk password always needs to be the same as my Google Voice account.
ps. (I confirmed that the two test calls I made last night via Google Voice DID use some cell minutes. I wasn't clear on the use of the two different dialers: Voice vs SIPDroid.)
Now that it's working, how concerned to I need to be about whether or not Virgin Mobile (Sprint) 'allows' or 'doesn't allow' VOIP? In other words, if it's 'not allowed', what are the odds that I could get the stink-eye (or worse) from my cell provider?
Now that I've figured out how to MAKE calls, I'll have to tackle RECEIVING calls... :\ |
Yes, your google voice password can be different than your pbxes password (Mine is).
Now, if VOIP is allowed over your carrier's network... It's a sticky question, answerable only by reading your TOS. Will they "catch" you, if it's not allowed? They could. Would they? Doubtful, unless you are gobbling up data.

I guess if SIPDroid is not 'connected' (ie, I have no WiFi at the time) then the incoming call would just go through the cell network? In other words WiFi=on: SIPDroid answers; WiFi=off: 'regular' answers?

Well, depending on how it's configured, either SIPDroid AND your cell phone will ring (Annoying), or just SIPDroid, or just your phone. I don't know of any way to make it route to your phone if SIPDroid isn't answered, without getting a second trunk (SO, pbxes can route your call).

Of course there are problems with this as you will end up with two things ringing on your phone when someone calls your GV number - regular phone app and SIPDroid. I know there is a way to make it so, if someone calls your regular cell number it will first ring your cell phone, and then forward to your GV number (VOIP) if you don't answer. So basically you can let ppl call your regular cell number and if you answer the first set of rings (from the phone app), it is a voice call, and if you let it ring all the way through 4 times (or if you decline the call), it will start ringing SIPDroid (this is, of course, only if you have a WiFi or 3G connection). I am heading to work right now but if you can't figure out how to set it up right I will probably be able to help later on. Gl!
