Use GPRS option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to Settings -> Call Options

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Option to enable voip calls over GPRS data network.
Instead: No such option.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4 Beta, Android 2.1

Which SIP server are you using? What happens with PBXes?
Unrelated

Which type of network are you using?
GPRS

Please provide any additional information below.
Since some high-compression codecs are finally available, there should be 
an option to enable voip calls over GPRS (there is an EGDE option, but in 
my country it's either 3G/HSPDA or GPRS, no EDGE in between).
I know there might be delays and stuff, but why not have this option and 
test?

I totally agree.
3G Connections drain battery so fast that it would be nice to have the ability 
to use a 2G connection while in 
stand by.... not to be forced to use 3G

I agree, please add this option. In some places, there's no 3G, HDSPA or EDGE 
with
good quality... so GPRS would be great!

Thanks in advance.

the drive is gprs only,I use sipdroid as my main way to recieve calls,my main 
number can't even recieve calls,so I would really like to have calls working

My provider cuts my bandwith every month, after i exceeded 200mb. Then my phone 
is still connected as as 3G or Edge or whatever, but the available bandwith is 
gprs. Unfortunately the speex codec doesnt seem to fit in gprs. I can hear the 
other person, be i sound terrible. And pbxes, which i use doesnt support the 
silk codecs. Is there a way to enable other low bandwidth codecs, supported by 
pbxes?
