T-mobile G1 with no service plan

[androidforumsQuint]

Hello,

I've had a G-1 for almost a year. T-mobile has had trouble with my nearby tower since June, so they let me out of my contract. Now I have a G1 with no service plan.

I set it up to use wifi.

.

Still works

Market - yes, and I can still install apps
Gmail - yes
Email - yes (but not Yahoo IMAP)
browser - yes
Google Maps - yes
MyTracks - yes (not sure about GPS, though)
Calendar - yes, still syncs

.

Doesn't work

phone calling (obviously)

.

As far as I can tell, with no service plan and only wifi, it's just the phone itself that doesn't work anymore.

Can anyone recommend a VOIP app for my WIFI-only G1? Any luck with Skype? What about Gizmo?

Or recommend a great provider to get on, maybe voice only, maybe voice/data?

thanks

.

It looks like it's do-able. Here's a couple of sites talking about voice calls not using carrier minutes on the Androids:

VOIP for Android Phones Digging-Deep.com

extraneous: Sipdroid + GV = GUAVA = Free Calls and Messaging to USA and Canada

It would be great to hear from people that have this working.

I was going to go with Gizmo, but Google bought them and closed new account registration for the time being. Maybe I'll try PBXes.
