TCP included?

Post by polocanada »

Can somebody please confirm the SIP settings include TCP?
I am considering to buy the settings key. Before I shell out $50 I'd like to know if I get TCP settings so that I can use it for Bria. UDP eats battery away quickly.

Thank you.

Fongo does not use TCP, just UDP. It should not matter which you use when it comes to battery life.

Your battery gets eaten up because it is consistently polling to make sure an incoming call gets through. SIP was never really designed for mobile connections, though I am sure there are lots of none standard hacks out there that Fongo does not support.

Well Groundwire or Dellvoice has push notification even you close the app the completely they still can listen for incoming call and wake up the phone and ring. However, if your phone has been in standby or sleep for so long then push notification will not kick in fast enough to ring so it will have some delay ring but you can always call back

Unless you want to have call on the time then ATA is the solution

Thanks, I didn't know Groundwire is better than Bria in terms of battery life. I'll give it a try.

Thanks, I didn't know Groundwire has advantage of having push message handling over Bria. I'll give it a try. The only thing about Groundwire is the theme isn't very good.

you can change it and you don't like their theme then don't use it.

Groundwire is working perfect for me. If I got a miss call then it has push voicemail so I know I got a voicemail

Groundwire has call waitting feature it's good and 3ways call too so I am happy with it
