E61 and Gizmo Project

For those familiar with the E61 and SIP, you’ve probably heard about the NAT traversal problem and you’re wondering if you can deal with not having your phone for a while as you get the firmware reflashed once it does. The E61′s SIP implementation is meant to be used with the phone sitting on the same network as the VOIP server, on your corporate network. Unfortunately I don’t have a corporate network. Or, more accurately, my corporate network is actually a rogue access point sitting on someone else’s network. And I’m not running my own SIP server on it.

So imagine my surprize when Russ mailed me a pointer to instructions for getting the E61 working with the Gizmo Project servers. It didn’t work two weeks ago from what we know, but apparently Gizmo had made some changes on the server side that allow the built in SIP support in the E61 to connect. Fantastic!! I just used it to make a call (direct from the contacts app in my phone, w00t!) over my rogue access point to a coworkers mobile using the Gizmo call out. Aww yea. Now if only I could connect to access points without the browser on the E61 crashing…

    I did the steps on the instructions and i do get the icon but once im registered how do i dial using gizmo and not cingular. I called my house from the cell and the caller ID said my cell number so im guessing its still using cingular not gizmo.

    If you’re connected to Gizmo there will be an option for “Internet call” instead of voice call if you try to call a contact. If you select Internet call it should go out over VOIP instead of cellular.
