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 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.
