call option for SIP to take over when cell signal is weak

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use SIP only when the cell carrier signal is too weak and wifi is an 
available. Under call 
option we need a selection to use Cell when available and SIP if the cell 
signal is too weak 
or not present. Changing it at all day long manually is an inconvience, could 
be automated. 

Thanks

Isn't it better to use SIP when available (cheap/free) and fallback to cell
(expensive/ripoff)?

I'll actually second the original poster; I'd really like a "Phone, when 
available"
option. For many of us (in the US in particular?) we've got more call time than 
we
need, but lousy reception indoors. I use sipdroid when I'm at work because I 
get no
cell signal, but everywhere else I use regular calling (lower delay, better 
audio
quality).

This must, therefore, be under wifi... since under any other circumstances, if 
the
voice signal falls off, so does the data...

It would be nice if sipdroid used the same configuration options that the 
Google Voice 
app uses:

Use Google Voice (sipdroid) for all calls
Only use Google Voice (sipdroid) for international calls
Ask to use Google Voice (sipdroid) for each calls
Do not use Google Voice (sipdroid) for any calls

I agree. Airtime minutes are never really the problem. I only need sipdroid 
when there is no cell reception.

It is the same for me.

I am in germany and the pricing strucuture here is complex. From my cellphone I 
pay 8c/minute to cellphones and landlines. For my VoIP account I pay 1c/minute 
for landlines but 13c for cellphones.

Therefore I would highly appreciate to be able to automatically try to use 
Sipdroid on Landline but do not try it for cellphones ...

I am looking to use SIP on Android for use in a hospital environment.  For 
safety reasons (GSM handsets can upset dosages on syringe drivers, can upset 
cardiac measuring devices and other risks) I need an automated way of turning 
off GSM transmitter on phone when hospital wireless LAN is detected.

To rely on a user to manually turn put phone in Airport mode and then turn on 
wireless is NOT an option.  This is because a) They would forget and b) they 
are not phoine savvy.

I would eventually be hanged and worse a patient may die!

Anyone any ideas?  Cannot be that difficult says the non-Android 
programmer.......

Thanks
A
