now for the smartphone, go to android market and search and install google voice, sipdroid and google voice callback. once installed google voice is already setup to receive text notifications and voice mail notifications. 

now setup sipdroid. sipdroid is what you are going to use to connect to your sipgate account. click on your menu button and then click settings. under authorization username enter the sip id and your sip password that you right down earlier, also make sure that your server or proxy is set to sipgate.com and make sure you use WLAN or 3G as checked depending on your preferences. if everything is done you should see a green dot on the top of your screen. 

now setup google voice callback, which will answer any google voice number and then you will use google voice and sipgate to make a free outgoing calls. you can check to use your phones current google voice account assuming that you are already logged in to it, now for outgoing calls choose your sipgate number. then you can choose if you want to always use it or just each time you make a call. now you can click done and give it a try:

From another phone call your google voice number and see if it rings. to make a call just select the phone number from your contacts and click to call them. google voice call back will then calls your sipgate number so your phone will ring and you answer and then it will connect you to your friend or your contacts number.
