  • sipgate is a Voice over IP service provider based in Germany that also operates in Austria, United Kingdom and, as of June 2009, in the USA. Their service offers free calls between other sipgate users, but sipgate ended peering in 2007 with a number of other providers and removed the access codes, chargeable calls to landlines and mobile phones and free geographical and non-geographical phone numbers. Users may use any SIP-enabled client software, VoIP adapter, or hardware SIP phone with the service. IP phones and other associated hardware from a variety of manufactures are available for sale at the sipgate web site. In January 2006, Sipgate began providing their customers short message services (SMS) through their website. Users may set the originating phone number to be that of their mobile phone. Sipgate's website offers a fax service that provides users the feature of sending faxes. A user may upload a Portable Document Format (PDF) file or compose a document with an online editor application. Certain plans also include an extension for receiving fax documents. Faxes may be downloaded or emailed as a PDF file. With a suitable fax-enabled VoIP adapter faxes may also be sent from fax machines. Until 2007, Sipgate allowed incoming calls from some other partner VoIP providers, e.g. , freenet iPhone, FreeWorldDialup, IAXtel, however this service was discontinued. Through its website, Sipgate provides a software application, entitled sipgate, that may be installed on the Apple Inc. iPhone. In September 2008, the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg (Germany) sided with a request by T-Mobile and issued an injunction preventing the download of Sipgate, baring iPhone owners to place calls over the device's Internet connection rather than over T-Mobile's cellphone network. In counter action, siphone won an injunction against T-Mobile to bar it from advertising unlimited Internet access via the device.
