VoIP configuration - only half works

[qwavel]

I'm trying to configure the internal SIP client but I've only got it half working: I can register with my provider and I can receive incoming calls, but outgoing calls fail.

My provider is a small, generic, SIP provider named Unlimitel. Below is my SIP configuration. Does this all look right? The fact that I can register and get incoming calls, but not outgoing - what should this tell me about my configuration?

Profile name: Unlimitel
Service Profile: IETF
Default AP: <my SSID>
Public user name: sip:<my account #>@unlimitel.ca
Use Compression: No
Registration: Always on.
Use Security: No

proxy server addr: sip:sip02.unlimitel.ca
realm: unlimitel.ca (I also tried sip02.unlimitel.ca).
username: <my account #>
password: <my password >
allow loose routing: yes
transport type: auto
port: 5060

registrar server: sip:sip02.unlimitel.ca
realm: sip02.unlimitel.ca
username: <my account #>
password: <my password >

Have you managed to get SIP to work with Fring?

Try UDP on the transport type. Have you tried outgoing calling using more than one router?

Wow, that worked: changing the transport type to UDP. I'm surprised that made a difference - I had figured that 'auto' would default to UDP.

Thanks.

I started with Fring. I found it quite easy to use for Skype and for Gizmo. I only tried Gizmo out because they had technical problems setting up my Gizmo in phone number (they still haven't returned my money).

I eventually gave up on Gizmo, and decided to stop using Fring because it seemed to run my battery down too quickly. Also, I prefer to use a generic SIP provider rather then Skype, so I figured it would be better to get the internal SIP client working rather then running Fring just to do SIP.

So I've stopped using Fring, but I must admit that it was pretty easy to setup and use for something that supported so many providers.

don't forget to get the Nokia SIP settings application - I found on Google at

I had to force my profile to use g.729 before mine would work with PennyTel.

We have a discussion on this going on over at
