Knowledge base VoIP Nokia mobile
The Nokia E61i has build in VoIP client which works well on WiFi. It reportedly works on 3G, and even works on GPRS, but data costs must be considered when using VoIP in this way. Using over WiFi is very practical and works well. These settings work well for the N95, E90 and similar Nokia phones.
One number?
Our VoIP service can be configured with an Also Ring setting to ring a number of other phones - why not set your VoIP number to also ring your mobile number. That way you can give one number that rings your mobile whether you are at the office or not. The VoIP will ring first if in wifi range and registered. If you do answer the mobile call then you are charged for a call to the mobile at our normal rates. You may also want to disable voicemail on your mobile.
SIP settings
The first setting you need is in Menu->Tools->Settings->Connection->SIP settings. You need to use Options to create a new setting from the default template.
These settings are for the A SIP server. The A server is recommended if there's a chance your phone will be connecting from behind NAT.

Internet tel. settings
Having established the sip account, and you can set up several if you like, you can tell the phone which to use for making internet calls. Go to Menu->Tools->Settings->Connection->Internet tel. settings, and use Options to add a new entry.
| Name | Any string you like, e.g. your SIP number. |

Default call type
Having set up an internet telephone profile you can set the default calltype to use the sip rather than cellular. Select Menu->Tools->Settings->Call and change Default call type to Internet. When your phone is not sip registered (i.e. out of wifi range) calling a number using the green key will make a cellular call. When it is sip registered it will make a sip call. Using the middle button instead you can select the call type manually.
