It appears that VoipSwitch is now offering a generic VOIP SIP client that works on most any VOIP provider. This is based off their revised website information. It cost $20.00. I downloaded earlier today but I have not been able to get it to open on my BB9700. I have a ticket in with their customer service awaiting a reply hopefully tomorrow. If anyone has any luck and can confirm sucess please advise. I don't know why it doesn't open.

Here is their website info:

BlackBerry softphone – retail version:
- Generic version of our Vippie BlackBerry softphone. It can work with any SIP server, user can enter the sip server details and his log in username/password. Please visit our retail shop in order to purchase the application.

No need to double post. Once is enough. Second thread deleted.

I do not think VoIP works on a BB just yet.

Yes, it does using BlackVoib over WIFI. I have sucessfully used it. The VoipSwitch APP also works according to numerous sources.

I need some help from USA based BB Bold 9700 users only. I downloaded VoipSwitch's new VOIP SIP client app v0.96. When attempting to open I select to treat it as a trusted source. However, thereafter I am not able to open the app. I've attempted this on 2 separate BB 9700 USA based units with the same result. VoipSwitch tech support thinks it may be me or my equipment. Would someone based in the USA with either AT&T or T-Mobile BB 9700 please download and see if you can open the app?

I'm sorry to bother those that do not have a BB 970 with this post; I originally posted this under BB 970 but the MOD, in his/her infinite wisdom, closed the post claiming it was the same thread. Maybe, he/she didn't realize that the question being posed was directly specifically to BB 9700 users. Oh well.

I downloaded their software. Didn't work on my 8900. Contacted support numerous times but all they did was try to sell me 1000 licenses.. I did an uninstall. BlackVoib is better.!

I tried contacting the company via e-mail and they either don't read the e-mails or harvest the e-mails.

I sent them an e-mail asking about Vippie and instead of answering my question, they e-mailed me marketing advertisement regarding their high end product with multiple licenses (probably similar to what you got). I deleted the e-mail.

Based on their e-mail response, it is one program that I will probably be staying away from.

Product simply does not work - they are idiots.

I can only go by my experience with contacting the company and asking about Vippie and them not answering but instead using my e-mail address to start spamming me with advertisements for their high end VoipSwitch program.

This type of business practice of not actually answering e-mail questions is bad but then using the e-mail address that was used to ask the question to spam with advertisements for their higher end program is a fail in my opinion.

In my e-mail to them, I pointed out that I was not interested in VoipSwitch since I was a CONSUMER and my question was regarding Vippie. I asked the question again and got the same advertisement spamming for VoipSwitch.

I've been trying to register on your company's forum at blackvoib.com - Index and I constantly get the error message that says:

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!

How can I be banned when I haven't been able to register since day 1 and I haven't done anything? I'm also not behind a proxy server (my IP address is unique) so I'm not sure why I'm being banned).
