Keeping up with the tradition of providing the best free SIP account provider list, we have updated the list of Free SIP account providers. Please disregard all other lists.



IPTEL, the the original SER SIP server (Now famous forks, OpenSIPS and Kamailio) and associated services provider has continuously provided free SIP accounts for millions of users and remains our number one favorite. our next continuous Free SIP Provider is SIP2SIP which is a project by AG Projects and PBXs or i-p-tel GmbH, has been providing both free and paid services since we started.

AntiSIP, one of our favorite SIP Account for free providers has also been doing so uninterrupted while many big time providers has gone with the wind. GetonSIP is a new addition to our list and is a service of OnSIP, In addition to free SIP, they also provides free SIP clients for PCs and Android devices.

We have accounts on all the above service providers and have test the service with multiple equipment and softphones.

Gizmo5 + Google Voice = New Google Voice Desktop App.

Gizmo5 + Google Voice = New Desktop Voice App http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
After Google acquired Gizmo5, things have been quiet, so quiet that we even forgot that Google owns Gizmo5. But according to Techcrunch, there is much happening under this quietness it seems.
Google is testing, internally, a desktop voice app that combines the capabilities of Google Voice and Gizmo5. So what do you get out of this? Well you will be able to make Google Voice Calls from your desk top.

Yes Gizmo5 is a SIP based P2P Voice service, just like Skype and you will be able to free SIP calls using any SIP or POTs user with it. Even your iPhone or iPad!
Want to make Google Voice calls from your iPhone, simply install any SIP client that allows you to enter your own credentials and configure you Gizmo5 to use Google Voice, follow the instructions we gave last year. Viola, your iPhone and Google Voice is one. No matter how Steve Jobs listen to AT&T.

SIP Router Org, ASIPTO and SIP Router Trining

SIP-ROUTER.ORG

I am glad that the original SIP Router, (SIP Express Router, SER from IPTEL org, where I got my first free SIP Account) is in the limelight again with the corporation with the Kamailio (OpenSER) the original fork from the SER project in 2005. OpenSER project separated into two a while ago into Kamailio and OpenSIPS. I have been using testing both while being l)oyal to SER, where I learned to sip SIP in 2001, where no other open source SIP servers existed (If they did, I did not know.)

 

The SIP Router Project will bring together a common collaboration framework for any project originating from SIP Express Router (aka SER), referred further as x-SER projects. The projects that joined the initiative so far are: SIP Express Router (SER) – the initial project started in 2002 and Kamailio (OpenSER).

In any case I am looking forwared to the SER 3.0 and Kamailio 3.0 which is slated to be released soon. Good work and cheers to both the teams.

Another bit of news that I would like to bring is that ASIPTO will conduct a SIP router training known as SIP Router Masterclass in November 9-13, 2009 in Berlin, Germany.
The teachers are non other than,

Daniel-Constantin Mierla – co-founder of OpenSER/Kamailio project in 2005, currently core-developer and member of project’s management board

Olle Johansson – Asterisk developer and member of the Digium Asterisk Advisory Board.

 From a post on ASIPTO;

The course targets system administrators and people that act in large VoIP/telephony network services, as well as integrators of VoIP, instant messaging and presence with web 2.0 or similar technologies.

Learning to configure the SIP server is not easy, but is the key for a successful and secure  VoIP business. The flexibility of SIP routing engine allows you to implement in no time innovative services, IP telephony, Instant Messaging, Presence and beyond. Asterisk comes to complete with rich media services and applications. Doing everything designed right and scalable saves time and money.

We create the opportunity for you, guided by experienced instructors, to learn how to build an Unified Communication platform from scratch using the SIP server engine and Asterisk.

iPico, Mobile SIP Client For iPhone / iPod

iPico Mobile SIP Client
The iPico SIP Mobile Client, the iPhone / iPod version of popular Pico SIP Client by mailvision allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to connect to a VoIP network over any available WIFi connection now. iPico enables users to place calls and send SMS either via VoIP Service Provides ( Free SIP Providers or commercial) or their own IPBX.


Some of the iPico Mobile SIP Clients features include;
Supported codec: G.711 PCMU
DTMF for IVR navigation
Compatible with SIP standards
Configurable SIP account (including Free SIP Account providers that we have listed)
Numeric and full SIP URI dial
Any SIP service provider could provide the service for you. But I like the SIP URI dial feature, which is lacking from many SIP clients in the iPhone / iPod arena. It also allows to use native contact list and keeps a call history (Allows one to call from historical records). It also provides other iPhone call interface features like mute, hold and ofcourse the speaker phone.

"It is a powerful VoIP solution beneficial for Mobile and PSTN Carriers, enabling them to offer end-users an intuitive interface with a high reduction of telephony costs, inherent to VoIP," moreover, "Mobile Operators and VoIP Service Providers can now differentiate themselves by offering their customers low-cost roaming services using dual handsets (with Wi-Fi connectivity) when travelling abroad," says Zeev Lerner, CEO for MailVision.
Apple App Store carries the App now and you can purchase it for $9.99

SIP / VoIP Client For Android, SIPdroid

SIPdroid
I am a SIP lover and I am not sure how I missed this project, SIPdroid. Thanks to an article on GUAVA Product from Gizmo5 that I published, people who were familiar with the project left a few comments about GUAVA and SIPdroid. I updated the post with new information.
That is how I got to know about SIPdroid. SIPdroid Adds VoIP to the dialer. Make and receive calls over Wifi/3G with perfect voice quality. It is an Open Source SIP client written in JAVA. All you need is a SIP Account to connect your Android based phone to. Even for that they have a solution via PBXes, a free SIP as well as commercial SIP Services provider. The basic accounts are free. Premium accounts allow calling regular phones while streaming live video and much more. You can check those out at the site links given below. You can also get a free SIP Account (PBXes link could also be found from this link, as I have listed them )from anyone listed on the left column of this site.
But the biggest contraversy seem to be the GUAVA and on the SIPdroid site, you can see the letter / email written to the Gizmo5 people regarding the violation. I have not investigated the issue deeply and I have not seen any reaction from Gizmo5 either.
But Gizmo5, if you did use the SIPdroid and did not disclose the issue, please correct it. I have accounts with you and so are a lot of other people who are familiar with Open Source and respect the guidelines. If you did not use SIPdroid, you can disclose that too, making everyone happy.
I will be writing about this more and until then, you can find the project SIPdroid on Google Code site.
PBXes is listed on my Free SIP Accounts, Revisited

Free World Dialup Moves To Paid Model

Free World Dialup that we mentioned in the Free SIP Accounts post, the free SIP Accounts II, and the recent Free SIP Account Provider List, is discontinuing the free service. I have been an account holder for good 7-8 years and I plan to stay. I have had trouble free service in all those years and I thank Ravenii for introducing me to the service. The service is definitely worth for us what is going to cost. The price is for Annual membership and not a monthly fee. If you calculate, you are paying $2.50 a month and you can't even go to a Starbucks unless you take your coffee black in a small cup! So if you have an account, please support FWD by registering for the paid account.

Following is the email sent to members and Jeff has a post on his blog also explaining the move. You will find the link after the jump;

"Dear FWD'er:

Free World Dialup is implementing a $30 USD annual membership fee during the month of August after 12 years as a free service.

A startup taking over a decade to reach conviction about a business model likely sets a record, but we believe $30 USD per year is the magic number. It is 10% of the cost for Vonage's unlimited usage plan. FWD provided the inspiration for the founding of Vonage in 2001, and Vonage's hybrid Internet-PSTN offer now generates nearly $1 billion in annual revenue. FWD's voluntary paid membership experiment last summer demonstrated the demand for a complete break from telephone network. FWD's future as a Communication ISP will include only those services that do not have a per minute charge. Rather than competing directly with the telco's or even Vonage, the mission of a Communication ISP is creating new opportunities and modes of communication. FWD will relaunch the website during August to focus on services, applications, and content available to people with VoIP SIP devices connected directly to the Internet.

See FWD CEO, Daniel Berninger's "Communication ISP Manifesto"

If you wish to retain SIP registration and support FWD, please click through the paid membership banner at the top of the home page which links to the Acteva registration service.

Make sure you use the email associated with your FWD account (the one on which this message arrived.)

If you lost your FWD account info, you can use the password retrieval process or simply create a new account.

The first 1000 paid members get "founder" status, but FWD will retain existing free accounts through August 31, 2008. The new paid membership requirement allows for associating any number of accounts with the email address used for payment, so you can keep the free ride alive by finding a friend with paid membership.

I hope you will join in transforming FWD's nearly one million free accounts into paid memberships as we work to make the Communication ISP the next big thing in VoIP.

Best regards,

Jeff"
