Additional Phone Port for $10
giqcass:
I have never used CSipSimple in quite the way azrobert suggested but I do use old Android phones for WiFi phones without cell service. They perform very well for me. I often leave one charged up and in the glovebox for emergencies just in case I forget my cell phone. They have come in handy before. If they are previously activated phones they can also call 911 without need for WiFi.
Side note about I-wireless phones. They are usually Sprint phones with little or no customization. Most(possibly all) can be used with any Sprint MNVO except Republic Wireless.

The above method is only used when your Android is connected to your local router.
If you want to use the Android at a Hotspot like Starbuck's this is the method you should use:

This method can also be used when you are connected directly to the local router, but the path would be from your LAN to the Sip2Sip server back to your LAN then to the OBi.
The 1st method you are going from the Android directly to the OBi.

I use CSipSimple through Callcentric for WiFi calling outside my home network.
Without using any extra software or special setup the current build of Chrome on Android can also be used through the ObiHai WebRTC page to make outgoing only calls to Obi devices.

How about a little more info? How would I use an old Sprint phone? If I turn it on, it will just search for Sprint service. How would I disable that? Or maybe this only applies to an unlocked phone....? And then, how would I connect it to my LAN? via a USB cable?
