    Hi Arun,
    I noticed your entry on Sipdroid and actionvoip. I cannot get it to work, it tries to connect but ends up with the red dot. I used the SIP settings from the action voip site, I guess I must be missing something.

    I used to have action voip working with Android 1.6 (it doesnt work with 1.5) . The sip settings just uses sip.actionvoip.com as server/proxy. If you are using 3G/EDGE, make sure that the sipdroid settings allow you to connect with 3G/EDGE.
    Try with fring as well, it is available for android now.

    sipdroid usually works, are you using it over wireless or 3g?

    Can you double check the settings?

    Authorization Username: action_voip_username

    SIP port : 5060
    Server or Proxy : sip.actionvoip.com
    Domain: leave empty
    Username or calledid: leave empty
    Protocol : UDP
    ./arun
