Additional Phone Port for $10
azrobert:
It has been discussed a bazillion times on the forum on how to use an Android phone and CSipSimple with an OBi, but I don't know if everybody realizes the phone can be used without a contract.
I was in Fry's food store today and they had a Coolpad Arise Android phone on sale for $10. I couldn't resist and bought one for the $10. It has a 4 inch screen, Android 4.4 and a dual core processor. When the phone is powered on it goes thru a setup process and activates automatically. It also sets up WiFi.
I installed CsipSimple and it works perfectly with my OBi200. I did not buy any minutes for the phone. I don't know if the phone is smart enough to deactivate if I never buy minutes, but I have an old Samsung Android that I've been using for years without a contract.
I believe the phone is also sold a Kroger's food store. I don't know if it's on sale for $10 at any other store. The regular price at my store is $60, but the link below has it at $40.

If nothing else, it might make a great Wifi phone or MP3 player (depending upon memory).
lhm.:
On sale at Kroger until 2/3/15. $9.99 while thay last.

I would love to get the other one listed with this one at Slickdeals at the same stores - the LG Optimus Fuel (L34C) - for such a nicely low price...
Trouble is there's no Fry's or Kroger's here in Vermont.
Hopefully now that these are 'old' devices they will go on sale cheaply at amazon soon.
I got another, lesser LG (Tracfone) model there for $20 a while back and use it wirelessly with GV and also not activated.
It would be fun to get a newer model phone with a newer Android version to experiment upon, I think - but only if it is cheap enough to qualify as a toy.
Searching here for CSipSimple only brings this posting as a result - so maybe someone may post links to some other posts explaining about that, please ??
Thanks.

This setup is when CSipSimple is used on the same LAN as the OBi.
CSipSimple is setup without registration.
You must use the Expert wizard to set no registration, but I find it easier to define an account with the Basic wizard then switch to the Expert Wizard.
CSipSimple requires a password.
Use any dummy password.
This example uses SP2 on the OBi and it must be defined as SIP.
In CSipsimple add a new account.
Select the BASIC wizard
Account name = OBixxx
User = OBixxx
Server = xx.xx.xx.xx:5061 (OBi IP address and SP2 port#)
Password = anything
SAVE
Press and hold on the account name.
When a new screen appears, select "Choose Wizard".
Select Expert.
Select your account again.
Select Registration URI and blank it out, then ok.
SAVE
Return to the dial pad
Press Menu on the phone
Select Settings
Press Menu on the phone again
Select Expert Mode
Select Network
Select UDP Port
It should be zero, change it to 5060
OK
This did not change the port for me
I had to go into Apps and force a stop on CSipSimple
The port changed when I restarted CSipSimple
Maybe if you do this 1st before defining the account you won't have to do a restart
OBi Setup:
If SP2 is not defined, setup a dummy SIP definition like this:
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> ProxyServer : 127.0.0.1
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> AuthUserName : (any userid)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_RegisterEnable : (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_ServProvProfile : B
This will process outbound calls and route them to SP1:
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
{OBixxx>(1xxxxxxxxxx):sp1},{ph} (OBixxx must match User in CSipSimple)
This will send inbound calls on SP1 to CSipSimple:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
ph,sp2(anything@xx.xx.xx.xx:5060) (xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of your Android
5060 is the Bind port defined in the setup)
This will pass callerid and cname:
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> X_SpoofCallerID : Checked
Edit:
Dial 18005551212 to route a call toSP1
Dial 0 or anything other than 1xxxxxxxxxx to ring the phone port
