Becareful of big bills, you might get from GSM provider - when using CSIPSimple Dialpad #2011

>-------------------------------------------------------------
I have the following setup under the settings:

1. Integration with native dialer and call logs - Enabled
2. Availability profile : Only for outgoing  [to save battery]
------------------------------------------------------------<

I used CSIPSimple Dialpad to make calls. But few calls went via sip service 
provider and few calls went via GSM service provider.

What happened:

When I used CSIPSimple Dialpad to make calls - many times international call 
went via GSM service provider because my sip account did not get yet registered 
with sip service provider [when Availability profile : Only for outgoing]. I 
always thought call is going via sip service provider as I dialed from 
CSIPSimple Dialpad.

In my opinion : call should be sent only via sip service provider when using  
CSIPSimple Dialpad. OK CSIPSimple Dialpad send calls via sip service provider - 
if sip account is registered otherwise it sends via GSM service provider [so 
very big bill].

NOTE: There is not any problem happening, when using Android native dialpad to 
make calls, because there is showing choice [either to choose mobile or SIP 
account] and you can not choose SIP account until it is registered.

Thank you.

There is an option for that.

Firt you have to switch to expert mode as it's an hidden option. 
Go in settings, press menu key > "Expert mode" (as described here 
http://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/wiki/ExpertSettingMode?wl=en)

Then go in "interface and integration" section
You'll see an option about GSM integration (the 4th one).
If you select "Prevent", CSipSimple dialer will not propose for GSM choice 
anymore.

It's not activated by default because I think users see directly in csipsimple 
with the icon on the right of the digit field which is the way that will be 
used for the outgoing call. 
Normally a simple look at it, make it very easy to know what will be used for 
the call.
If the icon is mobile, it will do a mobile call, if the icon is your sip 
provider icon, it will call using your provider. 
(besides csipsimple "in call" screen should be recognized from stock gsm one)
If you have suggestion to make it more clear feel free to share. 
Or you can use the option if you want the app to behaves as you expected it to 
work ;). It's not what is expected by all users, that's why there is a *lot* of 
options -- hidden by the expert mode to not pollute mind of people with simple 
needs ;).
