Nokia E71, XS4ALL and SIP

My Internet provider, XS4ALL, offers me the possibility to use a free SIP account. This is especially useful when travelling abroad. I can call to the Netherlands with the SIP accounts. This saves me a lot of money compared to calling with my regular cell phone.

I often hard reset my phone, so all settings will be gone. Sometimes I forget to backup my phone first before giving it a hard reset. After resetting the phone to its factory default settings, I always struggle with configuring the SIP account again. So here is the manual……finally:

1. Go to Menu –> Tools –> Settings –> Connection –> SIP Setting;
2. Create a new account
3. Profile name: XS4ALL
4. Service Profile: IETF
5. Default Access Point: none (I choose the correct access point manually)
6. Public name: <SIP phone number>@sip.xs4all.nl
7. Use compression: No
8. Registration: When needed
9. Use security: No
10. Proxy Server

1. Registrar server

1. Next go to Menu –> Tools –> Settings –> Connection –> Internet telephone
2. Create a new profile
3. Name: XS4ALL
4. SIP profiles: XS4ALL

Now you have, besides making a voice or video call, the opportunity to make an Internet call.
