One more question.

Which number do I see in Fring when someone calls me through GV->sipgate->Fring? Is it the caller's number or the sipgate number?

Thanks!

If you're on an iPod, the Google Voice app doesn't work. On an iPhone, you can use the app instead of Voice Central, but I don't think there are any advantages to that.

Actually, I would NOT recommend using the official Google Voice app if you're trying to make free calls. From what I can tell, the Google Voice app is designed to only work with your iPhone's number (which uses your iPhone's minutes). If you want to make free calls, stick with VC (or GV Mobile+ if you want a native app).

And eripa, it SHOULD show the number of the person calling you, but I seem to recall having to change a setting on sipgate to get that working properly. Are you seeing your own sipgate number instead?

Sipgate one needs a cell phone number, which I don't have, is there any other sip I could use?

Can anyone recommend another SIP provider which has free incoming calls and still have numbers to give out? Sipgate ran out of numbers. Thanks
