SIP Switch Widget

Robert Siebeck

About this app

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and newer versions support a built in SIP/VoIP (Voice over IP) functionality. This widget has two buttons: the left one gives you a shortcut to the SIP settings. The second one allows you to select how calls should be routed primarily: you can select whether all calls should be made via SIP by default, only Internet calls via SIP, or if you want to be asked before each call.

For Cyanogenmod-Devices, there's a quick settings tile available.

For Android 5 (Lollipop) devices and newer:
Google changed the SIP API, so the functionality has changed. The left button now redirects to call settings, it's one click from there to SIP settings. A direct link to SIP settings is currently not possible due to restrictions of Android 5, sorry. The right button (and also the quick settings tile) now switches whether all calls are made through SIP, or only ones going to a SIP address. Please set "Ask first" for "Make calls with" in "phone account settings", then this button will toggle between asking and making calls through cell phone network by default.

Please note that by default the built in SIP functionality on Android only works via Wifi on most devices! Furthermore, some ROMs of network providers (branded phones) disable the SIP functionality. If you can't find SIP settings in your phone's settings, this widget probably won't work correctly.

Ratings and reviews

On galaxy s9 dual-sim android 8 it doesn't show SIP settings. It only shows call settings. But there are no SIP settings accessible there. Basically does not work on that device.

Only one button works. The sip for all calls works, but the first button takes me to a call settings page that is blank. Maybe some minor adjustments need to be made to support Lineage OS?

Does what it says it does

What's new

Google has removed the native SIP client from Android versions 12 and later, therefore this widget only works on Android versions 11 and below.
