Its Colin from the Lug's I'm the guy with the android phone allways trying to make it work long enough to record the meetings...<div>
<br></div><div>I need to tell bell to stuff it for my phone plan because they are charging me like 60$ a month for my phone portion of my bill so I'm planning on dropping my phone side of the bill and just stick with my data package for the rest of my contract and the Nexus S supports SIP natively via Gingerbread. I don't much care for texting but wouldn't mind being able to still do that. Any ideas or tips/tricks to be able to do this would be fantastic. <br>
<br>Keep in mind I have no idea how to set up voip and I keep missing meetings that actually teach us how to set them up but demo's of awesome software to do so with keep popping up. </div>
