Mobile WiFi VoIP

What's it all about?

Many of the latest mobile phones have WiFi and VoIP capabilities, so that they can browse the internet and make and receive VoIP calls, as well as normal mobile (GSM) calls. These mobile wifi voip can work with your modem wifi router, giving you the choice to make as few or as many calls as you want.

The benefit of this is that whenever you are connected to a WiFi Hot Spot you can make and receive VoIP calls.  For example, if you are connected to a WiFi Hot Spot in Singapore, you could make calls from your mobile at the standard Coms.Net rates or talk to colleagues on the Coms.Net system for free, because the handset will work exactly the same as any Coms.Net IP Phone.

These Nokia handsets are all WiFi enabled and VoIP compatible, and they can work with your broadband modem router giving you the ability to make VoIP phone calls.

Quick & Easy Setup

Setting up most features on a mobile is complicated and time consuming, so we have developed an Over-The-Air Provisioning (OTAP) system. Coms.Net can enable WiFi VoIP on compatible Nokia WiFi VoIP handsets, listed on the left, using our OTAP system.

New & Existing Customers

Mobile WiFi VoIP can be enabled on your account either as chargeable UK Direct Dial numbers, or as free internal extensions. No additional "seat" fee is charged for a WiFi mobile, if you already have a primary seat. However, if your company is going to use Mobile WiFi VoIP as your primary phones, the usual per seat charges apply.

Setting up your Nokia to make VoIP Calls

Once your handset has been configured over-the-air, you just need to set up your Wireless Access Point that the phone will initially use to make Coms.Net VoIP calls, as follows:

Configure the “Access Point” to use for Internet telephone calls:

Menu ->Tools ->Settings ->Connection ->Access Point ->Select your AP

Configure default call type:

Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Call   Default call type: Internet

Re-Start your Phone!

Make a Test Call: Dial 789 – To hear the Coms.Net test message

Tips!

1. To set a menu button on your “Standby Screen”:
Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Phone -> Standby mode -> Active Standby Apps

2. To set a Selection button on your handset as a shortcut:
Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Phone -> Standby mode -> Right or Left selection key -> Internet Telephone

Exit these menus, hit the Internet Tel. selection key and choose your access point to log your Nokia into our servers. You are now ready to make VoIP calls.
