This article shows a sample VoIP Internet call configuration for Nokia N97 (version 20.0.019 and later) and N97 mini (version 10.0.020 or later) mobile devices. The configuration is done manually by creating the following settings:
- Wireless LAN access point
- SIP profile
- VoIP service
To configure the VoIP service settings, a separate SIP VoIP Settings application needs to be installed in the device. The application can be downloaded from Forum Nokia:
Install "S60 5.x SIP VoIP 3.1 Settings" in the mobile device and continue by configuring the Wireless LAN, SIP and VoIP service settings.
1) Wireless LAN access point configuration
Go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Destinations menu and create an access point or destination through which the VoIP calls will be established. The VoIP calls are usually established through a Wireless LAN access point but a packet data connection over 3G or GPRS can also be used.
2) SIP profile configuration
The SIP profile settings need to be checked with the VoIP service provider. The following settings are used in this sample:
- SIP proxy and registrar server address = srv.voipservice.com
- SIP proxy and registrar realm = srv.voipservice.com
- User name = 1234567
- User password = 1234
- Public user name = 1234567@srv.voipservice.com
Go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Admin.settings > SIP settings menu and create a new SIP profile:
- Profile name: can be freely chosen
- Service profile. IETF
- Default destination: None (or select a destination and leave the access point selection empty)
- Default access point: select the Wireless LAN access point created above (or leave empty if Default destination is used)
- Public user name: 1234567@srv.voipservice.com
- Use compression: No
- Registration: When needed
- Use security: No
- Proxy Server:
- Proxy Server Address: srv.voipservice.com
- Realm: srv.voipservice.com
- User name: 1234567
- Password: 1234
- Allow loose routing: yes
- Transport type: Automatic
- Port: 5060
- Registrar:
- Registrar Server Address: srv.voipservice.com
- Realm: srv.voipservice.com
- User name: 1234567
- Password: 1234
- Transport type: Automatic
- Port: 5060
Note that it is possible to leave both the Default Destination and Default Access Point fields empty. The connection will then be prompted when activating the VoIP service for the first time. A separate destination group will be automatically created for the VoIP service.
3) VoIP service configuration
Go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Admin.settings > Net settings > Advanced VoIP settings > VoIP services and create a VoIP service profile:
- select Options > New Service and select the SIP profile created above (or create new SIP profile).
Note that the menu for creating the VoIP service profile is not available until you install the SIP VoIP Settings application. If the Advanced VoIP settings menu cannot be found, check that the SIP VoIP Settings application has been properly installed.
4) Activating the VoIP service
The VoIP service needs to be activated before the service can be used. The activation can be done in the Contacts menu:
- go to Menu > Contacts and scroll right to the VoIP service submenu (showing the name defined for your VoIP service)
- select Options > Log in
The VoIP service can be activated also when initiating an internet call. If the service is not yet active, the user can activate it when prompted "Internet call service is not active. Activate now?"
The VoIP service stays active until the service is deactivated again.
5) Making an internet call
When the VoIP service is activated, the internet calls can be made in the following ways:
- In Dialler by typing in the number and selecting Options > Call > Internet call. Alternatively, if VoIP service is defined as the default service, the internet call is automatically established when pressing the dial button.
- In Dialler by typing in the internet call (SIP) address by selecting Options > Open keyboard.
- In Contacts menu by opening the contact and selecting VoIP service as the call type.
The internet call can be set as default call type in the following way:
- go to Menu > Contacts and scroll right to the VoIP service submenu
- select Options > Settings
- set Default service = Yes
6) Deactivating the VoIP service
The VoIP service can be deactivated in Contacts menu:
- go to Menu > Contacts and scroll right to the VoIP service submenu
- select Options > Log out
The device deregisters from SIP server and the connection is released.
