If you have an account with an Internet calling
service that supports the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for voice calls on
Internet Protocol (IP) networks, you can add that account to your phone so you
can place and receive Internet calls, whenever you are connected to a Wi-Fi
network.
When you have configured your phone for Internet
calling, you can use your Internet calling account for all calls or just to
place calls to Internet calling addresses. You can also configure your phone to
receive Internet calls.

Configure which calls use Internet calling
You can configure your phone to place all calls
using Internet calling (when you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network), just calls
to Internet calling addresses, or to ask each time you place a call.
1 Open the Call settings.
2 Touch Use Internet calling (under Internet call
settings).

calling option you want.

If you add more than one Internet calling account to
your phone, you can change which account is used by default when you place
calls (the primary account).
1 Open the Call settings and touch Accounts.
2 Touch the account you want to make the primary
account.
3 In the screen that opens, check Set as primary
account.
Configure your phone to receive Internet calls
By default, your phone is configured to make
Internet calls, but not to ensure that you will receive them. But you can
configure your phone to listen for Internet calls made to an Internet calling
account you added to your phone. Because this requires the phone to maintain a
connection with a Wi-Fi data network, it reduces the life of your phone’s
battery between charges.
1 Open the Call settings and touch Accounts (under
Internet call settings).
2 Check Receive incoming calls.
Unchecking this option does not prevent you from
receiving calls; it just makes it unlikely that your phone will be available to
receive a call at the moment someone tries to call your Internet calling
address.
