Hi all,

sorry if this post is OFFTopic for this forum, but I search and read other post and I not find the solution.

I want use the WM6 VoIP (with lVSW ROM). I install the voip cab and the settings for my provider.

The question is: how can I receive calls? how can I make calls? I not find any dialpad or similar to make it.

Thanks a lot and sorry for the offtopic.

Hi Shaun33

I found this post and I read all the commants. I make all steps that post indicated, but my problem is that I doesn't know how to use the wm6 voip.

In the same port, anybody has the same problem, but there hasn't answer.

Thanks.

[Inphyy]

[ggerman28]

I am wondering, if he buy the VOIP service or not....

I wanna ask, will other VOIP service provider work on WM6?
like SunRocket or ViaTalk, etc.

If I understand you correctly, you want to know how to make a call after getting your VOIP settings. Actually, there is no separate dial-pad for a VOIP call - you have to use the existing dial-pad which you would normally use when making a cellular call.

If you have set up your VOIP settings correctly, your plug in on your Today screen should say "your VOIP service:Available or Searching" instead of Internet Calling : Available/Not Available.

In my case, I use Gizmo, so it says Gizmo:Available (when it's not connected) and Gizmo:Searching (when connected via wifi).

When it says Searching, you click on the plug-in, then go to your normal dialing pad where it should also say "Gizmo" on the top right hand corner to indicate that WM6 is using VOIP instead of GSM to make the call.

Hope this helps.

As I am a noobie, I would appreciate it if the senior members could either confirm the above or correct anything which is wrong above.

[Shaun33]

This is the correct "Usage Instructions" for voip.

[lubbe]

This is also how I experienced it. Voip only connects through WIFI, although I have made the registry changes as mentioned in another thread. It will be nice if you can select which service to use eg. VOIP or GSM

[nolovelust]

what if i want not use voIP but my gsm network to call. there is isnt any option to do that once you setup voip. you can disable it but thats not the point. nokia's give you option. am i wrong?

[pinkopalino]

Just tap the today screen item for it toggles between VoIP and GSM

[Sleuth255]

ok... lots of speculation here. Let me tell you what I know:

VoIP, when properly installed, works in the following manner. (If you can't obtain these results then your ROM needs upgrading or your provisioning is incorrect).

Initially, the Internet Calling today screen plugin will show "off" when VoIP is set to "Never" in the Internet tab of phone settings.

When connected to WiFi, you can change this setting to "whenever available". At this point, a properly provisioned VoIP installation will show your VoIP provider from the provisioning XML and "Searching". Shortly after, "Searching" will change to "Selected". At this point all outbound calls placed from your phone will be through your VoIP provider. In fact, the phone skin will show this name too.

However, your phone will ring for incoming calls made to your GSM phone number as well as your VoIP phone number :cool:

Now, tapping "Selected" on the Today screen VoIP plugin will change this status to "Available".

At this point, outbound calls get placed through your GSM provider again and the phone skin will show your GSM provider name.

However, inbound calls to both your GSM and VoIP numbers will still ring on your phone.

Turn off VoIP again by going to phone settings and changing the calling network to Never.

Additional notes:

The "Searching" forever behavior previously described is a Bug in some WM6 releases. lvsw 4/23 doesn't have this issue.

You can also set VoIP to work over 3G as well as WiFi by removing the values "1" and "2" in HKLM\Comm\RTC\AdapterTypes. However, there are issues with this that haven't been fully resolved yet. Incoming calls work fine but the called party can't hear you when you place an outgoing VoIP call over 3G.

[nolovelust]

so there is no way to do this

dial a number select or even press voip button and you dial via voip.

i hate symbian but i might just have to carry to phones because voip enabled nokias can do it.

[Sleuth255]

hmmm maybe you didn't understand. Sorry about that. Short answer is No, there is a way to do this. You can dial any way you want with VoIP active. Just toggle the today setting between "Selected" or "Active" to choose which to use.

[tembares]

I was wondering if there could also be made computer-to-computer-calls. Is there a way to enter 'voip-names' instead of phone-numbers?

[bradyholt]

How about those of us on Cingular or "The New at&t" is it possible to subscribe to the at&t VoIP service called CallVantage and then get it working on the Hermes?

[Sleuth255]

@tembares:

You *could* try calling directly to the other phone's IP address. the default dialplan supports this. use the following syntax (example assumes you're calling a phone whose address is 192.168.0.1):

192*168*0*1

@brandyholt:

If the AT&T Callvantage service supports a SIP based softphone then the answer is yes.

[ToniSC]

Thanks a lot Sleuth255 and all people answer to me.

Finally I have been able to make work it!!!!!

@Sleuth255
One question please, if 192.168.0.1 is 192*168*0*1, how I dial for call to an SIP address, for example my gizmo address 17471302277@proxy01.sipphone.com

Put the address in this format "sip:17471302277@proxy01.sipphone.com" in the address book & dial.:)

Thanks ghz,

Thanks for the heads up sleuth255, im on Custel 1.3 and seems like the searching bug is still there. I can make outgoing and receive incoming sip calls however i can only hear incoming voice on the phone. Will try LVSW's version now.

Yeah CUSTEL´s v1.3 ROM still has this bug but I think he´s hoping to release a new VOIP cab over the weekend based on the files from LVSW´s ROM, which would be great.
I have to say the LVSW ROM is working nice with the VOIP...:)

[darkgemini]

I just have one stupid question (might be very important though) : does it cost me any money to call a phone number in Vietnam via VoIP?

[warmkiwi99]

Jasjamming has released new drivers that fix the Searching bug for Black 2.5:-

aprt from......

I can call out through our Asterisk server to another user on Asterix or to normal external telnos but when an Asterisk user calls me i get ringtone, can see the person calling but I can't answer the call: either by green button or by selecting "Answer".

Anybody else seen this problem?

I have the same problem, it seems the phone actually sends something back to the network because the ring tone on the other party's receiver is stopped after I press the green button.

PS. I am using the latest lvsw version.

[nolovelust]

i havad same problem with latest lvsw and just because of that had to go back to wm5

[rjtd]

Is it possible to hear the sound from the front speaker?
Or is it just possible to use it with the speakerphone?

[warmkiwi99]

not a speaker problem. Calling out works fine it's when someone calls in. Can't Answer the call.

Tried with a WiFi connection and it was OK so appears to be a 3G problem

[warmkiwi99]

The no Answer problem on incoming VoIP calls over 3G could be an Asterisk problem? Do people using other VoIP providers (e.g. Vonage) have this problem?

[rjtd]

Did anyone tried the 9 button commmanager, and the VOIP button, after having the VOIP correctly configured?
Maybe that button/feature prevents wireless from turning off when on a voip call, because the button has the wifi symbol and a phone symbol.
Maybe it routes the audio to the front speaker as well.

I am using iTalk(www.italk.co.nz), have the same problem:(

[warmkiwi99]

I suspect the Network Operators blocking certain ports. I can't even connect to my VoIP server over 3G now yet it was working earlier today.

hi guys. may i know why people struggle to make this voip work since skype works great. what is the different between voip and skype? i think there must be huge different since hundreds of pages discussing about this voip thing. i did a comparison. i thought voip can call to normal phone for free but i am wrong. you have to pay for lower amount to call, same as skype. then why voip? and not skype? thanks

[HyperZ]

Hi guys

Using LVSW's latest ROM and its built in VOIP cab, it seems to connect to my voip provider (www.pennytel.com) and i can receive incoming calls perfectly fine both in "available" and "selected" modes from the today screen. However i cant seem to make outgoing calls from the hermes to any other internal number.

Using a hardware voip phone to call my hermes, after establishing a connection, speaking into the voip phone i can hear myself on the hermes, however when trying to speak into the hermes i cannot hear anything from the other end.

Using the hardware voip phone to call a softphone on my laptop (with the same config) everything works perfectly. Im pretty sure its nothing to do with the router config nor ports that are unopened that may cause problems on the internal network.

Any suggestions??

edit: imported settings from ghz's ipdialplan.xml and i can call out from hermes to voip phone, however still problem with outgoing sound from hermes to voip phone :(

Hi,

I've installed the latest Black ROM and the "VM VI Black VOIP & Config" SIP setting utility and I was able to make calls straight away, over 3G.

There is some slight break up but its useable.

I do have the problem that I can't recieve incoming calls but not the problem where the phone rings but I can't answer it, in my case the phone doesn't ring at all.

Incoming calls (and outgoing calls) work fine on WiFi.

I have had similar problems with hardware VoIP phones and I think its to do with ports. Perhaps T-Mobile block some ports. I have T-Mobile Web 'n' Walk Pro and my voip provider is Voip.co.uk

Has anyone else any experience with T-Mobile and incoming VoIP?

Thanks

Simon

[warmkiwi99]

I'm on Vodafone UK. btw as of 10:30 on 1st may, Vodafone UK has a 3G problem, in case anybody is trying it at the moment.

interesting you don't have the Answer problem on 3G. I tend to agree with you that it is a port issue with the mobile operators

I've tested VoIP over T-Mobile's 3G a little bit, and haven't noticed any problems. Didn't test much tough - I'm using w'n'w £7.50 option, which does not allow VoIP, so I rather don't want to use it too extensively...

[siwyboss]

Is it possible to hear the sound from the front speaker?
Or is it just possible to use it with the speakerphone?

I wonder, too. Any ideas and solutions?

[nathany]

Until earlier this week I could use VOIP (SIP, eg. UDP 5060) using the T-Mobile WW (£7.50/month). However, they now to seem to have blocked the port. :-(

If I use an alternative Port then it all seems to work!

Can anyone else confirm that T-Mobile UK are now blocking SIP on the £7.50/month tarrif?

I guess that's quite possible. Using VoIP with 7.50 WnW package is strictly forbidden...

[odie3]

Could anyone tell me what I put into the settings to get Gizmo to work? I can not get it out of "Searching"/"No Service".

My account has a In Number and I have 10 dollars setting into my account (and I can login using my PC client).

Thanks!
