What to do with that old Sprint Android phone…
So since the iPhone came to Sprint, I switched my primary phone back from AT&T so I could get unlimited data for my phone and get 5GB of tethering (Something you cannot do on AT&T). As such, I replaced my sprint line, which had an HTC Evo attached to it, with the iPhone, so the question begged itself, what to do with the old Evo? After all, the battery life stinks, it was kind of slow, and really didn’t work that well.
After some thought and picking through the settings menu, I discovered a feature I didn’t know that it had - a SIP phone. I logged into Skype and enabled the SIP gateway function and tied a phone number to it. I then used the given SIP server settings from Skype to turn the Evo into a dedicated SIP phone for Skype. It’s been a phenomenal dedicated Skype phone and worked quite better than the old dedicated Skype phone I purchased from Skype a few years ago. So for all of you out there with used Android phones, don’t throw them away - go SIP and enjoy!
