ok, that is great. My sip provider has already paid the license so it is good 
that we don't have to paid it twice.

Do you have any plans when 0.00-16 could be in market?

Sip provider must have pay *for you*. 
Cause they can have paid just for their channels in SIP trunks.

The best is to ask them directly if they monitor their number of users and 
reverse the little fee for each of their users (for a sip provider it cost 
really less than for users to buy the g729 codec cause they buy the entry cost 
which is expansive but once paid, each channel cost is ridiculous (less than 1$ 
I think) ).

Please try to get the g729 codec in!  Would be nice to see if it makes a 
difference, the GSM is breaking up on 3g

that's good news since bria for Android includes the G729 codec and if you 
don't move fast you will lose your startup advantage. Csipsimple is a great 
product and more mature than Bria (for now) but ultimately VoIP is about voice 
quality and if you don't match their codec you lose.

The more feedback I'll have on current builds (see download section) the more 
quickest will be the release of the next stable version on the market ;).
All the more so as it's good feedback (cause I'm not always sure that my 
improvements doesn't introduce regressions). If a majority say me : "ok latest 
build is enough stable for me", I'll release ;).

@dcitelecom : there is no war between sip softphone ;) . My goal is not to have 
a market lead or something like that. It's just an opensource app I develop for 
my pleasure ;). If some enterprise want to promote it and help the development 
by contributing source code it will be welcomed. 
I think that finally true Opensourceness of any software project will at the 
bottom line lead to a better user experience (cause GPL make users the center 
of the software - made by users for users).

Hi there,
Just downloaded the latest version, 018 and I don't see g729 there.
Do I need to do something in addition to get that codec?
Nexus one with cm 6.1 rc 2

Thanks a lot for all the effort :-)

If you need someone somewhat technical to do additional testing or stuff like 
that, I will be glad to help.

Just did the update.
Working perfectly, so far.
Finally I can receive calls through my preferred sip provider.

Thanks.

How do I know if I am using the G729 codec?

I installed the website and market version of the "16 apk" program and don't 
see the G729 listed under the available codecs.

Original comment by rautiala...@gmail.com on 8 Dec 2010 at 5:10

Mmmm, G729 should be listed in codec (makalsky could you confirm? - I've 
installed on an other phone and it work). 
Btw, you can force the installation of a bundled apk using 0.00-16-00 
(different from 0.00-16 and market version that get back the native part of the 
application on the web). 
g729 should appear in Settings > media > Codecs (it's the last entry). Long 
press on the codec, choose activate, read the disclamer, press OK.
You can drag and drop it on the top of the list to announce that's your 
preferred codec.

While on communication press the (i) button to see which codec is in use. 
(You'll see a lot of info and the codec on the second or third line).

Here G729 codec is in list. 

Original comment by jar...@gmail.com on 8 Dec 2010 at 9:18

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The codec is there, but you have to scroll down to see it on some screens.
And its greyed out of course, so not that visible.

The last codec I see on my phone is G.722. I can't scroll down anymore. 
Attached are a few screenshots. Let me know if you want me to capture some more 
screenshots which might prove useful.

Thanks for the support.

G729 is working without problems for BudgetPhone.nl, thanks!
I wanted to contribute something, so I did some Dutch translation.
To be continued ...

I resolved my issue. Looks like I had imported data from a previous version of 
csipsimple which caused the codec not to carry over to the new version. So now, 
I see the G729 8Khz. Great forum and program!

@rautialarodneyb : Ok, indeed make sense data imported from an older version 
contains the native library which is the core of the SIP stack and contains 
codecs. 
To workaround this kind of problem I have to fix issue 179 :) (allow save and 
restore settings)

@bokhorstm : thx for translations :).

I can also report that G729 with Poivy (a Betamax clone) works perfectly.

Can I use G729 with csipsimple if I bought it through Bria?

Original comment by fatrodmc...@gmail.com on 9 Dec 2010 at 5:03

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@fatrodmcdjs : ask that to Bria. It depends on the license they retails to you. 
If it's a g729 license directly yes you can (I mean if they retail to you the 
right to establish a g729 channel). 
If it's a license that allow you to use g729 *only* using their application, no 
you are not allowed.

Ask them :) - and if valid you can report it here, I think that it could be 
interesting for other users.

Hi,

I need some indications regarding the use of G729 codec on sipsimple.

I configured csipsimple to use my sipsorcery account and I would activate G729 
codec support but I don't know if all sip providers configured on my sipsorcery 
account already pay licenses fees for that codec.

If I want to buy one license to use it with csipsimple as stated above is the 
following link right to buy a proper type of license? (or is it only for 
Asterisk?)
http://store.digium.com/productview.php?product_code=G729CODEC

If it's right is required any further action to properly register the license 
bought with my csipsimple after the purchase or I'm just finished after 
activating it in the codec menu?

Thank you very much for your support

lele... Man, what are you talking about!!! Digium Module are for Asterisk 
servers, not for Clients, you're mistaking, that module is for servers, not for 
client applications...

But the same which i said previously, in other thread. First it doesn't make 
sense to purchase, neither activate you codec if your service provider don't 
have that codec in service. So first contact your provider to verify if they 
have it, and if there license cover multichannel, if yes, it's enough that you 
just activate it in your client, the server license are available to cover your 
client.

Hi everybody,
I'd like to understand if using G.729 on CSIPSimple for private use I have to 
buy a license, and, second, if I configure the G.729 on CSIPSimple the calls 
work without the license?
