SIP Droid
From VoIP.ms Wiki
SIPdroid is a free softphone application for the Android operating system. It allows the device to register directly to two SIP accounts (which are not required to be on the same provider) in order to make inexpensive VoIP phone calls over a wireless broadband Internet connection.

Downloading SIPdroid

Configuration Details
- Start the SIP Droid Softphone
- Go to Sip Account Settings
- Fill in information according to your account
- Authorization User Name: 100000 (your VoIP.ms username)
- Password: ******** (account password)
- Server: atlanta.voip.ms (one of our multiple servers)
- Your SIP Droid should be ready to make calls
- When SIP Droid is connected to a VOIP.ms server, it appears as a green dot in the system status bar.
- A failure to connect (due to wrong username or password, for example) will appear as a red dot in the system status bar.
Limitations
- While SIPdroid is in theory able to directly call a SIP address, it treats anything which begins with a number as a regular telephone call, discarding the @domain... suffix and using the configured default server.
- SIPdroid is a two-line phone (or at least allows two SIP registrations) but the first provider or virtual "line" appears to be used for all outgoing calls
- SIPdroid is not as flexible as a hardware analogue telephone adapter in configuring dialplans
