SIP/VoIP Client For Windows Phone 7?

[GravexWebServices]

After 2 months struggling with the "glamorous" Galaxy S2 I traded it in for a Samsung Omina 7 which runs the Windows Phone 7 OS.

So far it's been brilliant. It's easier to configure and get around compared to Android, and so far *fingers crossed* battery life is far better than the Galaxy S2.

However, the one thing Windows Phone 7 doesn't have compared to Android is apps. I'm looking for a SIP/VoIP client for the phone so I can receive calls without resorting to using a softphone on the laptop. But I can't seem to find one for the phone?

So I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a client available for the OS?

Hi, I am afraid VoIP (SIP) isn't supported (or allowed by Microsoft) on Phone 7 at this time. There are some VoIP related features build into the OS, see http://www.uberphones.com/2011/01/voip-sip-features-windows-phone-7-registry/ but they are not yet available to developers via API.

Nope. Not yet at least. The mobile market is full of paranoia about VoIP.

It'll get over it, but it will take time.

I thought as much! The phone couldn't be that perfect!

It's surprised me though that there is next to no VoIP clients or the like available for Windows Phone 7, especially as Microsoft now own Skype.

But hey, judging by the link in the first post we shouldn't be that far away from having one on the phone
