SIAX - Native SIP/IAX client for iPhone

[bmxtreme]

I could be wrong, but Betamax users get max 300 minutes per week of free calls, measured over the last 7 days and per unique IP address. Free call period is over 4 months (120 days) before you have to top up. Here is the in-depth comparison of all Betamax services: betamax price comparison

Cheers!

LOL..you're right. I didn't check for the right info. Thanks for that great comparison list.

VoipBuster is great. US gets free calls and also has a STUN server to help get through heavily NATed networks.

Works great from my office which is hell for VoIP.

Still wish there was a way to add alpha/numeric to the end of a number for SIP calls however. That would make this a KILLER app in my eyes

I would assume the developer probably has this planned for future releases since SIP URI calls should be a basic function in any voip app.

On a separate note, here is an icon I made for SIAX as the one it comes with currently hurts my eyes :-) To install, SFTP into your iphone and overwrite icon.png file in siax.app folder. Restart springboard and... voila!

hey guys how to set this up with vonage?

hey guys how to set this up with vonage?

Do you have Vonage SoftPhone or just a regular calling plan?

If SoftPhone, use the following settings:

Domain: sphone.vopr.vonage.net
Username: YOUR_VONAGE_SOFTPHONE_NUMBER
Password: YOUR_VONAGE_SOFTPHONE_PASSWORD

If regular calling plan, the setup is a bit more involved. You'd first have to find out what you "encrypted" vonage password is. The easiest way to do that is to type this address in your browser:

https://im-config.vonagenetworks.net/config?&login=YOUR_VONAGE_USERNAME&password=YOUR_VONAGE_PASSWORD&type=1003

replacing YOUR_VONAGE_USERNAME and YOUR_VONAGE_PASSWORD with the username and pass you use to login to your vonage account. This will return a webpage with various settings and you only need to worry about the fist 4 lines:

[SIP 2.0]
ProxyUserName=YOUR_USER_NAME
ProxyUserPassword=ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD
ProxyDomain=a.vonim.com
ProxyPort=10000

Now, enter these in SIAX as follows:

Domain: a.vonim.com:10000
Username: YOUR_USER_NAME
Password: ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD

Voila! Hope this helps...

yess SIAX doesnt work for me... the apps always crash and i even restore my phone and reinstall it twice but not working anymore

I'm seeing the same thing.

I upgraded to 2.2 last night using the firmware found here. Re-nstalled all my apps from before the upgrade and was having the same issue as quoted above. So, I decided to do another restore and install one app at a time, testing to see if each app launches ok.

Through this exercise, I found that Intelliscreen was causing all the issues. If you have Intelliscreen installed, try removing it and see if it "solves" the issue.

If you don't have Intelliscreen installed, try what I did and install/test one app at a time. Anything can be a cause so early on after the upgrade.

I don't have Intelliscreen installed, however my issues started with Siax 1.0.4 before I upgraded to 2.2. After I upgraded to 2.2 and reinstalled it still crashes after launch.

exact same thing for me

[allanet]

Wierd!

The only other thing I can think of that would cause a crash on launch is the file permission settings. Has either of you tried CHMODing the files in siax.app to 755 or 777?

Otherwise, I'm out of ideas... Perhaps, someone else can offer a solution?

Well this may be the end of siax on my phone cuz i really dont know anything about CHMODing this would have been the only apps i really need on my iPhone

Don't give up! Just search modmyi forums on how to CHMOD; it's quite easy. Alternatively, wait for someone to post a solution. I can almost guarantee that the culprit is not SIAX itself. If it were, everyone would have it crashing, which is not the case!

this would have been the only apps i really need on my iPhone

If you jailbroke your iphone solely for use with a native voip app, I recommend you revert to the official firmware and get Fring from the AppStore for free. Fring is not nearly as good as SIAX, but it will enable you to make voip calls over WiFi.

[Cookiemonsta]

i already use iCall that is much better than fring (for sound quality) but that is not offering any custom VoIP setting. Fring isnt this bad but not as good as siax (witch looks like the killer apps for me atm)
looking foward to get someone that come with a solution then i will buy this apps for sure

Can you let me know where you got iCall for iPhone? I've always wanted to try first hand the feature to switch between cellular and voip calls.

beta tester

SIAX has been very well behaved on my 2.1. I even have it backgrounded and it didn't even crash for 2 days straight (Fring crashes after 15minutes), though connection to my SIP servers was terminated(with a 401 Unauth based on the log file).

I wouldn't be surprised that there could be changes in the SDK which would need SIAX to be updated. Stay tune guys
