Apart from Linphone Blackberry app, which is free, there are two other commercial VOIP applications: Blackvoib offers a 14 day trial while FgVoIP offers 10 day. We will only show the setup for FgVoIP, though the setup for BlackVoib is similar. Designed by FG Microtec, this little-known SIP VoIP client is a feature rich soft phone for BlackBerry devices. It can register to any SIP VoIP provider or IP/SIP capable PBX using a WiFi connection in office, campus, home, hotel rooms, public hot-spots etc. They offer a 10 day free trial and there is also a User Guide ( PDF). To setup your FG Microtec VoIP application for use with your existing EZvoip.co account, you need to create a profile, then enter the VoIP account details. Create Profile - Go to Preferences > Profiles.
- Position focus on existing profile, press menu item "Create copy".
- Type in your new profile name.
- Select your new profile, press menu item "Active" or press trackball/touchpad.
- You will be asked if you want to log in or not. Choose NO.
- Go to Setup > Main Settings.
- Type in your SIP server configuration data (more details below). If you need more settings press menu item "Advanced Settings"
- After you save your settings you will be asked if you want log in. Choose YES.
- If your settings are correct you should be logged in when you come to main screen, if not go to 7. and try again.
VoIP Account Details
- Account settings: (in Main settings screen) should look like this:
- My name: [your name] or whatever you want to show in CallerID display
- My ID: YourUserID - you get it from login under "My services"
- My Password: YourPassword (account password - you get it the same way)
- My Domain: toronto.ezvoip.co (one of our multiple servers)

Please note that this is not the only VoIP / SIP app available for Blackberry; there is also Linphone. |
