Anyone else using this combo lately? I have been trying all types of VOIP calling the last few days, and while I was using GrooveIP, I think I am settling on this.

GrooveIP is probably the 2nd best, because its so easy to set up and for the most part it stays online and ready to receive calls.

CSipSimple seems like a rock-solid app that, so far, is receiving all my calls and I'ts hard to get the program to do something it shouldn't. Once the phone goes into sleep or even if you just try to make successive calls to fast most apps will freeze or crash. It's weird, but many SIP clients seem like WM5 ports... and they work similarly. CSipSimple feels modern, and fast. And you can use your native dialer. The sound quality is outstanding imo, even on slow network speed it sounds very much like a normal cell call. The delay is very minor even on 3g calling.

PBXes.org is great. Once you understand the basics to PBX, its not hard to set up. I have 2 android phones in my house, plus my cell phone so I am just starting to explore the possibilities. Hunting ring groups are fun, and it's nice to have hold music.

And we all know about Google Voice, which is just getting better and better. They're even including some short-code numbers now, hopefully most of them will work soon.
