iPod Touch VoIP compatible with 25 providers; improved mic on way
Posted on January 28th, 2008 in VOIP, WiFi, hack, iPod Touch, iPod Touch Accessories, third-party software |
Looks like the SIP-VoIP team over at touchmods.net have been busy. Last we heard, v.1 of the software that allows the iPod Touch to be used as a VoIP phone via its WiFi connection had launched, and the guys were busy putting together microphone schematics and parts lists. Now, there’s a pretty healthy list of 25 compatible SIP-based VoIP services - including the popular Gizmo Project and Asterisk - and they’ve just sold out of their first batch of 1200 microphone adaptors, priced at $45 a pop.
If you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on a first-gen microphone, then you might be interested to hear that the team are kicking about plans for an updated version. No further details as yet, but they’re expecting to ship them by the end of March.
Is anybody currently using their iPod Touch as a VoIP phone? Let us know how you’re getting on in the comments

hey where can i buy one of those mics
Where did you hear that they will be coming up with new mics in march? i have been looking for a mic solution to my first gen touch for forever.
Hi I was wondering if these mic’s are going to work on the second generation. I already have everything running on a unjailbroken ipod touch 2nd gen its just I would like to lose the cord and headphones.
Thanks
My Ipod touch speaker is not that good. I need the headphones. I just bought the headphone/mic combo for 2nd get itouch. It works great with the voice recordings. So, shouldn’t this software work with the headphones/mic?
Wow, great blog. I love reading blogs about VoIP! It’s such an exciting technology. I have learned a lot in implementing a small VoIP network at home, and am thinking of starting VoIP business in my area. There are a number of small businesses in my region that would benefit from it greatly. Thanks again for this blog - it is really well-done.
been looking for this. thanks.
i need one of those!!!!!!!!!
One thing that I have noticed is that there are a whole lot of earthquakes these days. Big ones too. So what does that have to do with anything? Making money is not all that easy these days but fortunately, I found a trick. This thing I found is actually some software. The fact is, that this software is 100% legal, “white hat” and ethical, that even giant enterprises use it. And the best part - it is really running on full autopilot. This super affiliate push button software is the real thing, so if you’re planning to use it unethically, or use it for scam purposes, this software isn’t for you! If you can spend no more than 3 minutes to download and setup this software, and then click the ‘Start Button’ just once to start this autopilot push button software… Then you can make money online. Basically what it does is bring a stream of free visitors to any website. You might be tempted to try to disect this software in order to ’see the magic’ but why bother? It’s a pretty amazing piece of software and it just simply… works. Get it before it is gone -> http://tinyurl.com/pbcsites
