SIAX - Native SIP/IAX client for iPhone

[bmxtreme]

Siax VOIP client

Seems to be pretty cool. I would like to replace my Fring with this. VOIP call quality is superb since we are directly connected to the provider and not have to go through silly Fring proxy.

Anyone using them now?

I think it needs some kind of license to work..

anybody tested this?

some help with gizmo5 (gizmoproject) sip settings?

[boxxa]

Works fine without for the time being. No nag screen or anything and works great with VoIPBuster.com's SIP and STUN server. Great call quality over 3G and a small delay but nice for listening to conference calls.

[cricketlang]

it works just fine for me as well. you will eventually need to get a license though just to let you know.

Trying to figure out how to set it up for gizmo..

i've found that proxy01.sipphone.net for domain the number for username and your password for password.. but it's like it accepts and connects but i can't make a call..

anybody?

I created a setting for siax.no-ip.ca as you described, but it just doesn't connect, and apparently don't light up the green on the sip button on dial..

i almost did a call with gizmo5 settings i'm gonna try some more and report results!

I have been using this with betamax and it's definitely great! It was horrible when I use these SIP with Fring - 90% of the time I was unable to make an outgoing call, I have to use grandcentral to make those outgoing call and have it connect back to betamax. With SIAX, I can make calls out and get connected almost instantly.


For Gizmo, I believe the username is your Gizmo Username and not the SIP number they provided.

This could be 3 reasons

- You have no Internet with your Iphone
- You are behind a company Firewall
- You have entered the wrong sipdetails in Siax

Pls. try it out in another Wlan Network, or open in your network the Port 5060 UDP routed to your Iphone IP.

Let me know.

Version 1.03 available

New features and bugs fixed

(1) Added prefix for sip or iax call from address book.
So if you have number 1-415-4555545 in your address book and you have prefix as 00, it will automatically add the prefix and dial it as: 00-1-415455545

(2) Automatically save recent call history.

(3) upgraded version number to 1.03

(4) fixed a wrong status like it showed registered for registration error

(5) fixed some minor problems.

Maybe it's the port different. Can SIAX configure for different port?

[sip.babytel.ca]
context=default
type=peer ; we only want to call out, not be called
insecure=very
;dmtfmode=inband ; À partir du début novembre 2004, il faut cela à partir du 15 janvier 2005, il le faut plus!
secret=SECRET
username=15144444444 ; Authentication user for outbound proxies
fromuser=15144444444 ; Many SIP providers require this!
fromdomain=sip.babytel.ca ; Nécessaire!!
host=sip.babytel.ca
port=5065

I love the feature to add a prefix but is there an option to add a suffix?

I have a local SIP server that is a port off a PBX so I need to dial [email protected] to call off the SIP server.

Is this doable since I only see a keypad in SIAX and no other way to input items?

I'm interested in purchasing the pro version of the software. However I can't seem to get it to work with my gizmoproject account. I'm using proxy01.sipphone.com for domain and my sip number for username and my gizmoproject password. Every time I enable it and go to the dail pad the sip button is black, when I switch back to the accounts page its off again. I was able to successfully do the echo test. Anyone get it functioning with their gizmo account? Also is the plans to add background running?

SIAX does exactly what I would want a native iphone voip app to do (features listed in prev. posts) so, I went ahead and purchased the PRO version.

While the app in its current state is good enough to make great quality sip calls from the iphone over various protocols, I hope the development efforts don't stop any time soon as there are quite a few improvements to be made for the app to be appealing to those potential users willing to pay for it.

Here are some of my comments/recommendations:

1) ver. 1.03 has a new "prefix for contacts" feature and can be found in the Settings menu. In its implemented state, the feature is enabled for all 3 sip accounts I use, regardless whether or not it is needed for that account. It would more make sense (at least for the PRO version) for this to be moved under SIP Account menu so that a prefix can be setup under each of the SIP/IAX accounts one may have, again, assuming multiple accounts.

For me, this would be crucial for any Betamax service which requires a "00" before the country code and number. However, I seem to have found a solution which does not require the use of the "prefix" feature in SIAX (at least not now ). I now have all of my contacts stored in the int'l format,(eg. +15558880101 or +1 (555)888-0101 as displayed in Contacts) and it seems to work in SIAX with any provider requiring to dial a prefix.

2) In the same ver. 1.03, a fix was made so that the app can retain the Recent Calls history (before the fix, Recent Calls were reset upon exiting and relaunching of the app). Now it would be nice to have a way to clear the list.

Also, when I receive a call from another VOIP provider, the SIAX Caller ID displays it as "sip:[email protected]". I tried selecting that from Recent Calls, with no success.

3) The Account Manager displays the sip user name as the SIAX SIP Account name. If one has multiple SIP accounts with the same sip user name, it is difficult to remember which SIP provider each of the SIP accounts belongs to. If the users were enabled to name their SIP accounts at the time of setup, the issue can easily be solved.

4) As a piggyback to item 3 above, the users should also be able to edit sip/iax accounts once they have been setup. In the implemented state, once you set up a sip account, you cannot change anything and are forced to delete and re-setup accounts.

5) Misc. observations: graphics can be at much better quality, especially the bottom menu buttons. On an incoming call, the phone only vibrates and makes a faint beeping sound; there is no way to set a ringtone or adjust the volume. No advanced sip settings are offered (i.e. sip server port, caller id, etc).

As mentioned before, the app is awesome as is because it performs the most important function - VOIP call - extremely well!

Buy one to support the developer!!!

Gizmo is working for me fine. The only different is I am using my "Username" not my "SIP number" as login.

One thing which is REALLY a PLUS -- DTMF Support. Fring does not do this regardless of so many people requesting for it.
If you use GrandCentral, this is awesome because of the "Unknown caller, press 1 to accept" prompt, though with any Betamax, you get free calls anyway in the US.

Hi!

What are some good SIP providers?

With I hate it when fring doesnt connect to the server at times, i got a chance to make a test call with Siax and the app is heavenly..

Are there any sites that offer something like 400 free minutes a month or something?

If not what are some good SIp sites with good deals/rates?

Any Betamax provider is will do There are a bunch of them with different names but essentially the same thing. The 400min per mth required you ro top up your credit every 3mths, but i find it great with free intl calls.

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
