<div>After this initial setup, I successfully tested the account and my headset by calling the sipgate.de test number 10005, which works very similarly to the Skype test call feature.</div><div></div><div></div><div>For personalized config information you can log in at sipgate.de and consult the Konfigurationshilfe, selecting one of the Linphone entries from the softphone device lists. I have a sipgate.de basic account, so if you are on a different plan, details may vary slightly.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>sipgate download softphone</div><div></div><div>Download Zip: https://t.co/66BOcrCW1z </div><div></div><div></div><div>sipgate_Softphone is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see sipgate_Softphone and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Please consider to add update information to the sipgate_Softphone AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I would like to say my Sipgate softphone is working perfectly well and i can receive and make calls however what i cannot get to work is the Voicent Gateway. I have implemented all the settings of sipgate to the Voicent gateway but it just displays the same error message. For your reference i have attached the updated logs of the Voicent Gateway.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Thankfully by following your instructions and adding a final extension to the sip id, the Voicent gateway decided to run however once dialing the Sip telephone number the sipgate Xlite softphone rings rather than the Voicent Gateway.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Is there room in the U.S. telecom market for another Voice-over-IP phone company? Recent European transplant Sipgate thinks so.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The company, which was founded in Germany and made a splash in Europe, moved it's headquarter to California last year and is now taking aim at American customers. Now based in San Francisco, Sipgate remains well-established in Europe where it has been successfully building its telecom business since 2004. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Today, it is arguably the most popular 'network-agnostic' phone service in a number of European countries. Sipgate got to its current position by pioneering a VoIP client for iPhones in 2008 and ended up challenging T-Mobile Germany in court over its lack of net neutrality and deceptive advertising.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Cheaper VoIP</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>So what exactly does Sipgate offer? In the U.S. consumers can get a plan called Sipgate One, which is, essentially, a replacement for your landline. But it operates over the Internet and costs much less than a typical landline service. Similar to Skype and other Web-based calling methods, Sipgate One is free for many calls within its network. But unlike many of its Internet peers, Sipgate gives each of its users a free Direct Inward Dialing phone number, so non-Sipgate customers can actually call its clients. The service also includes other features such as fax capability, free voice-mail, easy optional call recording, multi-party conferencing, and an online 'communication center' for storing contacts and other information.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Moreover, Sipgate works with most phone types, including SIP-based IP phones, analog landlines and mobile phones. The service also lets users manage all their phones -- they can have calls ring multiple phones simultaneously, or forward all calls to a specific phone. Sipgate also provides a "softphone software package" that works on PCs and mobile platforms. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Users who only take incoming calls using Internet phones pay nothing, and the rate to call out to the old public telephone network is cheaper with Sipgate's service than with most others: Calls to the U.S., Canada and most European countries cost 1.9 cents a minute. Outgoing faxes cost 49 cents each (plus phone minutes), and incoming faxes are free but they require a second phone number that costs $2.50 a month. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Tough Competition From Skype</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>While all this sounds great, Sipgate faces significant competition from services with more significant market share in the U.S. such as Skype. But Sipgate's CEO Thilo Salmon says he thinks his company's product is superior to Skype's. "We think we are different because unlike Skype, we offer a single incoming phone number that routes a call to the least expensive device depending on the regulations in each country," Salmon says.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>In these difficult economic times, that might just be enough to help this company to gain market share.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>That said, the rest of this review will focus on the softphone application for what it is, not what we want it to be. So our recommendation to anyone who purchases this app is to tell everyone your direct number. (Update: Acrobits released a business version, Groundwire, that includes features like transfer, multi-line, call grouping, etc.)</div><div></div><div></div><div>You can access the softphone settings in the upper right-hand side of your keypad screen to find account info, change preferences, download G.729 in add-ons, see your usage, and even access SIP logs that you can send to Acrobits for troubleshooting.</div><div></div><div></div><div>(Note: Currently, sipgate numbers are available only in a limited number of states. Users in states where numbers are not yet available will get California-based DIDs and will be able to trade those in at no cost when more local numbers do become available. You can check DID availability here.)</div><div></div><div></div><div>Moreover sipgate works with any phone you may have, including SIP-based IP phones, analog landlines (using an ATA (def.), and mobile phones. Plus, the service lets you manage all your phones, ringing those you choose in parallel, forwarding calls to a specific phone, and the like. To ensure maximum flexibility, sipgate also provides a softphone for use on PCs, both mobile and otherwise.</div><div></div><div></div><div>For those who only take incoming calls (using an IP phone), sipgate one is completely free. But calling out to the PSTN is cheaper with this service than with most others. Calls to the U.S. and Canada are billed at 1.9 cents/minute, as are calls to most European countries. A complete rate listing for international calls is available here.</div><div></div><div></div><div> D|+sseldorf (ots) - - Kommentar zu Heise-Online-Bericht vom 17.11.2005 - Neue Firmware 3.60 als Download im sipgate-Hilfecenter f|+r |nltere Versionen als 3.1 sipgate - In einem Bericht von Heise-Online vom 17.
