Placing an Internet (SIP) call
You can place calls via the Internet when connected to a Wi-Fi network, rather than via
your mobile network, if you have configured your phone to use an Internet calling
account. Internet calling is based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for voice calls
on Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
Adding an Internet calling account and configuring your phone to use it are described
in “Configuring Internet (SIP) calling” on page 75.

Call a phone number using Internet calling
If you have configured your phone to place all calls using Internet calling or to ask for
each call, you simply place calls to contacts with phone numbers as described in this
chapter, whenever you are connected to a Wi-Fi network: the call is placed using
Internet calling instead of using your mobile network and the phone displays
Internet call.
Important Calling a phone number using Internet calling requires that your service provider sup-
ports it, and may incur additional charges. Be sure to check with your service provider
for details.
