Using SIP with the Nokia E61i and Gizmo
I usually have no use for a normal landline, but it does have its benefits. Since I will be moving to a new place soon with a 100/100 Mbit Internet connection, why not use it to the max? So I am trying SIP with my phone using Gizmo and their SIP service.
Setting things up could be a bit confusing, but the following settings works fine for me (for Gizmo):
- Profile name: Gizmo
- Service profile: IETF
- Default access point: “my access point”
- Public user name: sip:17472xxxx@proxy01.sipphone.com
- Use compression: No
- Registration: Always on
- Use security: No
- Proxy server: Do not fill in anything here
- Registrar server address: sip:proxy01.sipphone.com
- Realm: proxy01.sipphone.com
- User name: 17472xxxxx
- Password: “your password”
- Transport type: UDP
- Port: 5060
Now when ever I stumble upon an access point I have configured, the phone will connect the SIP phone automatically! The call quality seems to be really good after a first try, but we will see if it holds up.
Nokia has really managed to get a good SIP phone working in a simple yet effective way, and it is even possible to decide whether the calls should be routed over SIP by default or not.
I could definitely see this working in a corporate setting with an Asterisk server for VOIP and WLAN for connecting the phones to the networks. It is even possible to store a SIP number in the phone book for each contact, which makes this solution ideal.
I am looking for a SIP wireless phone, but I found some of the wireless SIP phone may have not have internet browser to enter the “username” and “password” which is required by most of the Wi-Fi hot spot such as McDonald restaurant. I wonder if Nokia e61 is cable of doing this?
I would appreciate your help.
@Kai Liang I can’t see why this wouldn’t work on the E61i. Let me know if you decide to try it out!
thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.
Thank you Dear, I could setup my SIP account at once thank to you. Greetings
Great to hear that it still works!

Can you call out? Are you connected to the service?
works with me using Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic
but i don’t know how to initiate a call through the registred SIP account
I haven’t used that phone in particular, but I think you can choose to call using SIP when you have selected a number.
menu -> settings -> connectivity -> Admin Settings -> SIP Settings
then i made new profile there and it’s shown as “Registred”
when i ring to this SIP it doesn’t ring
also when i select number to call, i have not option to take the call through the SIP profile
I got it to work and here is what I have done:
1. apply the SIP configuration as stated above under a name: Gizmo “can be named as u wish”
2. create a new profile under Setting>Connection>Internet Tel. Settings (Make sure you select the SIP profile that you have configured above
After that you should be good to go
Thanks Johnny and all
Cheers,

thank you so much!! i configured my nokia n81 with gizmo sip!!!
Great!
I got my E71 working following your instructions.
The only thing I had to change was where it says “17472xxxxx” the digit “2″ is not needed. I used the prefix “1747″ followed by my number.
Thanks a lot.
