Free SIP Account Providers 2013





We have been always looking for free SIP account providers and we have listed them quite a few times. Recently after visiting some of those listed, we have found that some of those accounts are not operating any more. Below are some that work and we will continue to test and list them here so you will be able to create SIP accounts free and fulfill your SIP communication needs. Following is not a complete exhaustive list but we will update it as seen fit.

(Ooops, I forgot my first ever Free SIP Account provider, IPTEL)
IPTEL.ORG. the original SER Creators

http://sip2sip.info A project by AG Projects, If you know OpenSIPS you know them.

AntiSIP, One my favorite and oldest SIP service providers, they were on the original free SIP accounts lists

PBXes or also known as i-p-tel GmbH, provides both free and paid services. (An expired security certificate seem to give trouble in accessing the server)

A Service from SIPphone, Does Gizmo project sounds a bell?

A community effort by VoIPUser, I think it is a fine service.

Disclaimer, me and my partners have service from all the above companies but we are not in any affiliated to them than using the free service.

You have also a great SIP provider in europe with "ippi" - http://www.ippi.fr . They offer a free virtual number in France & Belgium + 20 features for free.

I used before "Wengo", but they change their business model.

Gizmo is also nice!

Hello,
I'm thinking of going with iptel, your first, and wondering why you chose to leave them.

VoIP has succeeded in grabbing the attention with much facilitated tasks and by providing services that may be more difficult to implement or expensive using the more traditional PSTN. Conventional phones are connected directly to telephone company phone lines and are kept functioning with the help of back-up generators or batteries located at the telephone exchange that in the event of power failures.

To "Bill" who recommended CallTheWorld, I hardly think allowing customers to make 1 free call to "try" the service constitutes a "Free SIP Service", when you have to pay $10 a month to actually use it for real.

SnapVoIP - thank you for the list! I use VoIP extensively with my biggest client, and am slowly transitioning my company to it, but have not had time to setup my own asterisk server yet. Your list has been invaluable in helping me find a provider to "fill in the gap" while I get things moving on my end.

By the way, I may have missed it, but I didn't see CallCentric anywhere on your list or comments.

They offer free SIP-only accounts with unlimited usage to anyone that wants them, and the service is actually very good. Their support is top-notch, with excellent online FAQ/Support resources for a variety of devices and software products.

They do offer a variety off additional paid services, for those that want them, like DID numbers, PSTN calls in & out, etc., but none of them are required to get an account. If all you want is direct SIP calling, they are happy to leave you alone. They will even keep your account private and hide it from their online directory, if you want, so you don't get inundated with unwanted calls from people just wanting to chat.

Hi,
I registered for Sip2Sip & i am using Nimbuzz on my mobile, I entered the SIP settings & its activated but when i dial any contacts from my Mobile i get error that "PSTN calls forbidden"
I want to make calls to local landline/mobile numbers.
Which service should i use?

ravenII said...

Hi Aasim,
As stated on the SIP2SIP you can make calls to another user over the internet only. If you want to make calls to PSTN, you will some how end up paying. There are some companies who allow limited free PSTN calls, like this;
Free Calls On iPhone, iPad With Whistle Phone And SIP services

I am looking for voip sip sdk solution

I have found this one
http://ipphonesdk.com

Did anybody used it?

What do i need to asterisk server? I need a sip? Or more things?

Regards,

ravenII said...

Hi Anon, it depends on what you paln to do with the Asterisk server. Yes SIP is definitely to connect to SIP Service Providers, unless you plan to terminate all your calls to PSTN or ISDN.
Usually you need incoming line support as well as out going support. Again both depends on where they originate and end.

VoIP service is known as the cheapest calling solution in the market. There are many voip service providers like axvoice, nextiva etc. which are providing sip accounts. What important is how do you use that account. If you use that account with better planing, it can save you a lot of money.

thanks in forehand, Thomas
