Mobile VoIP applications allow users to access the benefits of their VoIP network - Part 2

As unified communications expand to include mobile phones, there is an urgent need for SIP applications. The open source Android platform recognizes this need, and the application SIPdroid is a viable solution for users who need to include mobile access throughout the data network.

Features of the SIPdroid app include:

• Multitasking capabilities. Unlike iPhones, which prohibit running applications in the background, SIPdroid runs continuously, ensuring you don't miss out on any business calls.
• An open source application [beta] that allows developers to access to improve the application.
• Java-based SIP stack. Allows easy encoding and transmission of SIP calls.
• Virtual PBX compatibility; in some cases configurable to a specific system.
• Ability to add multiple SIP accounts through different carriers.
• Automatically switch to the speaker of the car/desk.
• G.722 HD voice, clear audio; compatible with most mobile phones.
• Optional username configuration, ̧ will migrate from caller ID
• Caller ID, call waiting notification, video reception and transmission
• WiFi, 3G or direct call options, settings can support selection at any time.
• In most cases, you can use the call recording option.
• If SIP is not available, call to the PBX.

The SIPdroid app is constantly updated and added, and can beat iPhone apps historically for ease of use and compatibility with a wider range of networks. Apple has a history that is not commensurate with others, and the Android platform bypasses many of the problems users have with Apple-based systems. For example, the iPhone enforces a "push notification" form of workaround. Remind users to open mobile VoIP applications to receive calls, while Android allows multitasking and background applications to run simultaneously, allowing instant access at any time. However, the beta version of SIPdroid still has a way to go, and it is fully compatible with many other features that VoIP users expect.

SIPdroid can run on most Android HTC phones, as long as #Cup; Cupcake' has Android or newer installed.

The main benefit of mobile applications that allow SIP calls is that calls are routed through the user's VoIP network, whether it is their own personal VoIP service or their commercial VoIP service. Not only does this significantly reduce the cost of a large number of mobile operators and roaming, but it also fully integrates your mobile number with your corporate VoIP / PBX system, which means your phone will be an extension of your desktop phone. Another advantage is the ability to configure settings to make calls from your mobile device and display your business caller ID so your business contacts won't get your private number.

The SIPdroid app is free open source software that can be downloaded from Google.
