Koko Mobile / Naka

[bourbonkiller]

I just figured out some "news". I have configured the SIP client to make calls with Koko-Moible at lower rates and discovered, that since about one week also incoming calls do work via SIP.

I've tried it only with my original UK Koko-Number. If my Sip-Client is connected, it rings on SIP (not via Simcard). When I disconnect Sip, calls do come in via Simcard.

This is great, as it works now the same way as Piranha Mobile did before! Can you guys try and confirm that it works on your Koko-Simcards too?

This is a good update.
I went to the web site and do not see anyplace to buy one.
You mention other brands that use NAKA in the background.

Are any of them advantageous for someone in the USA?
Do any have a free USA phone number?
Any to avoid?

The fact that it seems to make you happy with the SIP abilities vs. what Piranha used to do is encouraging.

Koko seems to be the best option if you want a US number, since you can add one additional number free. Higher call rates with the US number though. Discussed on page 1 of this thread. I don't think anyone here has actually tested it with a US number to confirm if incoming SMS are free on the US number.
