Simple question. I'm pretty new to all of this, I'm simply looking for free phone everything, not interested in being a super tech. Home user. Windows XP.
I don't have a PBX, router or any other fancy equipment other than what the cable company installed which is a small box with blinky lights. I have a regular normal (10 year old) phone that currently plugs into the box the cable company installed for my Internet service.
Does jitsi enable me to hand out a phone number to my friends and others so that they can call me? If so, what else does jitsi require me to install in order to work?
If not, can anyone suggest any other freeware that enables free incoming calls (with a phone number I can give out) and without the need to install any hardware? Outgoing calls are a plus but not critical.
I believe "linphone" is such a beast but I can't get it to work, it simply hangs before it even draws the window and nobody seems to know why.
Thank you in advance.
You need a did provider and a sip registrar, both of which can be had for
free if you aren't picky about the area code of your phone number.
Make a free account with iptel.org and get a free did from ipkall.com.
Then point both jitsi and ipkall.com to you iptel account and bob's your
uncle.

I use localphone.com for my SIP service, and an incoming phone number
costs 99 cents/month. Calls out to other phone numbers are very cheap.
See their web site for prices. I use Jitsi as a softphone, and it is
much nicer than linphone or any other softphone I have used. The new
Opus/48000 codec works very well, giving very clear phone connections
even on low bandwidth connections.

Hey Andrew,

user. Windows XP.I don't have a PBX, router or any other fancy equipment other than

Jitsi is just a client. There's no default service that it comes
associated with. It is basically the equivalent of the phone device you
use in your home or connect to your mobile provider, only it runs on
your computer.
You can connect Jitsi to any online provider that Supports SIP or XMPP.
ippi.com is one example among many for SIP and Google and Google Voice
offer the same with XMPP.
If not, can anyone suggest any other freeware that enables free
incoming calls (with a phone number I can give out) and without the
need to install any hardware? Outgoing calls are a plus but not
critical.I believe "linphone" is such a beast but I can't get it to work, it
simply hangs before it even draws the window and nobody seems to know
why.
Linphone works exactly the same way as Jitsi in that regard. You'd have
to connect it to a service.
Hope this helps,
Emil

Many many thanks to all that responded!! I followed the below instructions, they were the most straightforward.
I now have an uncle Bob. 
Minor issue... I've tried to change the ringer sound for incoming calls, but no luck. The little play button doesn't. I've tried both .mp3 and .wav files. VLC player plays them just fine.
One thing I notice is that jitsi is changing spaces to %20. Here's a sample

Hey Andrew,
Unfortunately we only support wav files there and not all kinds of wavs
would work (as you have already noticed). I seem to recall that if you
generate the wav file in audacity it would also work with Jitsi. I
suppose Audacity's default output format is just something that works
with the Java wav reader but I can't recall now exactly what it was.
Hope this helps,
Emil

Free outbound calling is tougher to come by. Generally speaking,
you will need an account with a termination provider if you want to
call outbound. If you are registered to iptel.org, you can configure
a Gateway and use an outbound only provider (such as www.xvox.com) for
termination. These type of providers will let you pay as you go with
low per-minute rates and no recurring charges.

Port Audio is selected, not java.
In any event I tried as you suggested and i got mixed results. The audacity file works.
However, using the file seems to break jitsi. The first time around I tested by calling my computer, I got a silent ring. I restored the defaults and it seemed to wipe out a number of the events leaving just a small handful. The original sound did NOT return. So, I quit and restarted. This brought back the original sound and I'm not sure but I think some of the missing events returned. This also brought the incoming call file name into the playbox whereas before it had been blank for this sound.
I changed it to my new sound again "daychirp.wav" and it did play for a test call - exactly once instead of repeatedly -once for each ring- like the default file does. So some definite oddness.

would work (as you have already noticed). I seem to recall that if you
generate the wav file in audacity it would also work with Jitsi. I
suppose Audacity's default output format is just something that works
with the Java wav reader but I can't recall now exactly what it was.Hope this helps,

Many many thanks to all that responded!! I followed the below
instructions, they were the most straightforward.
I now have an uncle Bob.Minor issue... I've tried to change the ringer sound for incoming calls,
but no luck. The little play button doesn't. I've tried both .mp3 and
.wav files. VLC player plays them just fine.One thing I notice is that jitsi is changing spaces to %20. Here's a sample
file:/I:/Documents%20and%20Settings/APB.XP80GB/My%20Documents/My%20Sounds/97943%5EWoodyLaugh.mp3Any ideas?
Thank you

Simple question. I'm pretty new to all of this, I'm simply
looking for free phone everything, not interested in being a
super tech. Home user. Windows XP.I don't have a PBX, router or any other fancy equipment other
than what the cable company installed which is a small box
with blinky lights. I have a regular normal (10 year old)
phone that currently plugs into the box the cable company
installed for my Internet service.Does jitsi enable me to hand out a phone number to my friends
and others so that they can call me? If so, what else does
jitsi require me to install in order to work?If not, can anyone suggest any other freeware that enables
free incoming calls (with a phone number I can give out) and
without the need to install any hardware? Outgoing calls are
a plus but not critical.I believe "linphone" is such a beast but I can't get it to
work, it simply hangs before it even draws the window and
nobody seems to know why.Thank you in advance.
