As for number 1 : Difference between Always available and Available on wifi is 
the fact that wifi is lock or not. If you change the lock wifi value in Network 
setting, you'll observe that Always available will become Available on wifi. 
Settings in easy configuration are just shortcut for other settings.

For number 2 : there is already an open issue related to this one. Besides, you 
must check that you allow outgoing calls over 3G in settings (either in the 
easy configuration view or in the network view).

For number 3 : are you sure your gsm provider allow you to use voip over 3G? 
(In France for example there is filters that block all sip network traffic - 
and not just related to port). 

For all this issues was it reproducible with the 0.00-12 available on the 
market? And have you any success using another voip application available on 
android? (Linphone, Sipdroid?)

For issue #3, I conducted several tests :

Equipment :
Nexus One with 3G
Ubuntu with 3G and Ekiga
SIP provider is Ekiga.net

Test #1 :
Echo test of Ekiga on Ubuntu with 3G success.  I think that my 3G provider 
supports SIP protocol.

Test #2 :
Nexus One changed to SipDroid and dial to Ubuntu over 3G.  The result is no 
sound.

Test #3 :
Nexus One changed to SipDroid and conduct Echo test to Ekiga with the result of 
no sound.

Test #4 :
Nexus One use CSipSimple and conduct Echo test to Ekiga with the result of no 
sound.

I think that there may be 3G problem on both CSipSimple and SipDroid or on 
Android 2.2.

It is possible that while in 3G in need a stun server. What is the stun server 
you configured in CSipSimple? Are you sure it is reacheable from your 3G 
access? Maybe worth to test with the same stun server than ekiga : 
stun.ekiga.net (for now csipsimple only support one stun server) 
(oh I'm just thinking about that : checking the stun server box doesn't mean 
you have stun activated, you must also fill a valid server in the stun server 
field).

You can also uncheck ICE because I don't think that ekiga support ice and if 
they succeed using stun csipsimple should also.

I set the STUN server as "stun.ekiga.net:3478".

I also test for with or without checking "ICE" and the result is the same, no 
sound.  Do you have any STUN server for me to test?

The current verison 0.00-12-20 has no voice on Ekiga.net account on both sides 
over 3G.

However, 0.00-12-20 works perfectly on Asterisk.

I think that CSipSimple does not work on Ekiga.net account on both sides over 
3G.

There is probably something special done by ekiga on ubuntu over 3G to succeed. 
Hope this is not IAX else nothing will be possible to fix it quickly in 
CSipSimple (for now only SIP support is planned).
What can help me is reverse engineering what is done on you ubuntu+ekiga using 
3g. As my 3G carrier doesn't support SIP and besides I have no modem dongle, 
I'm not able to produce tests myself. Would be nice if you can try to produce 
traces for me :

As it is a linux distro here how to get network traces :
0 - open a terminal
1 - if not already done, install tcpdump : sudo apt-get install tcpdump
2 - find the interface name : list interfaces using ifconfig and find the one 
with the IP address.
3 - run tcpdump -i "name-of-the-interface-found-in-2" -s 1500 -w 
ekigatraces.pcap.
4 - send me (better by mail r3gis.3r at gmail dot com - in order to not diffuse 
private infos on the web) the ekigatraces.pcap (available in the directory 
where the command line was executed, should be home dir)

Hi guys!
my configuration works in sipdroid but I continue to test isipsimple. I'm also 
receiving no sound on 3g with TCP protocol. Udp over WiFi works fine.
I'm using voxalot server to connect on port 2060 as standard isn't working with 
my cellar network (vodafone cz). 
I use standard codec order. In expert mode I set port in proxy and choose "use 
TCP instead of udp " (the way it works with sipdroid ).  Try to use udp doesn't 
help either.

@xnova : did you try to activate STUN?
See : 
http://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/wiki/FAQ#The_other_party_can_hear_me_but_I_c
an_not_hear_them

Also, ensure sipdroid is not running when using csipsimple to be sure there is 
no conflicts on listening ports.

P.S. : it's csipsimple not isipsimple ;) ... isipsimple is a proprietary 
software for this awful proprietary platform that put users in a golden jail ;)

And for ekiga, I think that :
first tests from runnersam failed cause ekiga stun server was not supported 
previously by pjsip sip stack (now that's ok, they did change in the stack so 
that should be really better) :D
And the last point for ekiga, and for an unknown (almost unknown..) reason the 
500 echo test doesn't work with other sip client than ekiga... but using 
sip:*673500@ekiga.net (which is actually the same echo test but using another 
way to access it work as expected).

I mark that as fixed for ekiga since should be fixed with the STUN fix done by 
pjsip guys.
@xnova : if you still have the voice problem when stun is activated, please 
open a new issue (if you could send me logs could be cool too ;) ).
