Using PhoneGnome service on the Nokia N95
Enjoy crystal-clear phone calls over the Internet using the new Nokia N95 phone. If you have access to a WiFi connection, you can save money by using the Internet to connect your call instead of using your mobile phone minutes. No roaming or out-of-network fees. Make your calls from anywhere in the world to anywhere free or for just a few pennies a minute. Simple to configure, inexpensive to use.
Below please find the configuration guide.

Go to Tools / Settings / Connection / SIP settings. Create the following profile
Profile Name: gnome
Profile: IETF Default
Access point: (your WLAN AP name)
Public user name: sip:soft-12341234@pgp01.televolution.net (Instead of 12341234 use the the SIP username shown on your My PhoneGnome site under Features / SoftGnome Remote Access / Edit / View SIP Credentials )
Use Compression: No
Registration: ” When needed ”
Use Security: No
STEP 2
Enter the following for Proxy Server settings
Proxy Server Address: pgp01.televolution.net
Realm: pgp.televolution.net
User Name: Enter the SIP username shown on your My PhoneGnome site under Features / SoftGnome Remote Access / Edit / View SIP Credentials )
Password: Enter the SIP password shown on your My PhoneGnome site under Features / SoftGnome Remote Access / Edit / View SIP Credentials )
Allow loose routing: Yes
Transport Type: UDP
Port: 5060
STEP 3
Enter the following for Registrar Server settings
Registrar Server: pgp01.televolution.net
Realm: pg.televolution.net

Password: Enter the SIP password shown on your My PhoneGnome site under Features / SoftGnome Remote Access / Edit / View SIP Credentials )
Transport Type: UDP
Port: 5060
STEP 4
Go to Tools / Settings / Connection / Internet Tel. Settings
Create a new profile for “gnome”, name it “gnome”
In Connectivity / Internet tel. / Preferred profile
Choose “gnome”
Go back to Connection / SIP settings / gnome and change the Registration from (when needed) to (Always on) now your phone will register to the PhoneGnome network.
Default call type: To switch between normal GSM calls or VOIP calls, navigate to Tools / Settings / Call / Default call type. Select Cellular to make normal calls to the phone number or Internet to use VoIP to call the number or address
You can also place Internet calls by entering the number and then clicking Options (instead of the Green ‘Go’ button) and select (Internet Call) from the popup menu.
STEP 5
Make Calls!

Yes, but will it receive incoming phonegnome calls?
I’ve been doing this with the nokia n80ie for a couple of weeks now. On the n80ie you can program up to two voip providers, I use phonegnome and truphone. All my outgoing calls go through truphone or pg and my pg incoming calls are routed via truphone’s network via pg’s find me/follow me feature since nokia does not support stun for pg on the n80ie.

It appears as though all bets are off when more than one SIP provider is setup on these Nokia phones.
The SIP stack in the N95 seems a bit less fragile than the N80i version, but that could just be luck or sunspots. The issue isn’t STUN per se – the PhoneGnome system tries to help the phone with that – the bigger problem is that the Nokia just doesn’t do a very good job in keeping router sessions (pinholes) open. The results can vary with different routers, but the N95 works for incoming calls in our testing.

Is there anyway to stop the N95 using a Wifi APN and use a Network APN (3G or HSDPA)
Its a wonderful application but we dont always have wifi coverage

I did everything THREE TIMES and it still does not work.
connection always fails when I switch form.
When I get to step 4, the first part is correct in my Nokia 8gb but
Go to Tools / Settings / Connection / Internet Tel. Settings
Create a new profile for “gnomeâ€, name it “gnomeâ€
In Connectivity / Internet tel. / Preferred profile (here there is no “preferred profile” the different internet access points show up, then if I highlight the one I am going to use and hit options it says, “connect to service, change service, use hidden network, refresh, settings, help and exit” when I hit change services I get the gnome and default so I choose gnome.
I finish out the rest, but still do not get a connections.
what am I doing wrong???????
Choose “gnomeâ€
Go back to Connection / SIP settings / gnome and change the Registration from (when needed) to (Always on) now your phone will register to the PhoneGnome network.

thanks

Nokia is still clearly working out bugs and issues in their SIP support. Some problems can be resolved by loading new firmware using the Nokia Software Updater: http://europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate

I have been trying to get “gnome” to register on my phone but i haven’t been successful as yet. I have gone through all the given steps at least 7 times till now but the registration always fails. Can u pls advise an alternative.
I have the 20.0.016 version of the firmware. Please help.

Generally success with the Nokia SIP software seems a bit hit and miss. If the steps shown here aren’t working, we don’t know what else to try.
