Just how usable is it without the tunnel?

But perhaps I'm missing some configuration here, since I just cannot connect using 3CX for Android over 3G (or Wi-Fi from any other network I do not own – pretty much when I need the mobile solution, right?) to my 3CX system (yes, of course it’s behind NAT, like any other implementation would be).
Just my two cents worth..
As it stands, from my experience, the Android application works as well as a stand-alone VoIP WiFi phone (I've used three different make/models over the last several years, and never at home), that I have used in the past, minus the Voicemail indicator.
For me it does not work with 3G (it connects , but no audio), but that
may be my provider. In the past, with a VoIP WiFi phone alone, I found it to work on 99% of unlocked hotspots, that did not require you to open a web page and agree to
terms of use. This is the same "success" rate I've experienced with the Android 3CX phone. The tunnel would be nice as it
may allow the phone to work with 3G, which would be great, if it works, but at this point, without testing it, it still isn't a guarantee.
Unless the provider or your particular Android phone has done something to block VoIP WiFi calls, which it doesn't sound like since you can use it with another provider, then 3CX phone should be just as usable, with WiFi as most other standalone VoIP WiFi handsets.
If you are having an issue using the Wifi aspect at hotspots, and the none are working when set up to connect to your 3CX PBX, then you may need to review your settings, both on the phone and at your home network/firewall. In most cases (at hotspots), it
should work.
Have you tried connecting any other
remote extension (wired) to your PBX, does it work?
